I got tickets today to go see Live & Collective Soul in Southaven, MS. So my dream concert! I cannot wait.

Add that to Arkansas State football starting next month (ASU v. Memphis on Sept 8 which is a home game), and going to see Rent at The Orpheum in Memphis in November…

It is so nice to have some things like this to do during my time off. I feel like I haven’t been to a concert in forever.

But look, next Monday - when the kids go back to school - there’s a cold spell. High of 93 and not as hot.

My ass.

Please go take a listen to a new Brian Setzer Orchestra tune on this profile on myspace: Team Bach!!

Then, if you are so inclined, go to BSO’s official site and vote on the poll that you heard the song thru Team Bach:

The Brian Setzer Orchestra

What can I say? I love Brian Setzer, BSO, and specifically…I would love to get some stuff from them. BUZZZZZZZZZZZZ

now that I’m not stressing out about a job and a wedding - just a wedding now - maybe things won’t be so tense around this place.

I need to get into blogging about stuff I like. Music, movies, books, those kinds of things. And how incredibly stupid celebrities can be.

And now that I’ve said that, let’s look at Britney Spears. Okay, is it just me, or does everyone out there realize she is just…well, I would say a redneck but that isn’t really right. Trailer park trash? No. I am from the South and know both rednecks & TPT, and they are far more acceptable than this chick.

There is no word strong enough to describe her. Idiot? That is about the best word I can come up with. Immature. That one applies to. Like the girl who gets out of high school, gets in a hurry to marry, has as many kids as possible as quickly as she can because the “idea” of being married and having kids is appealing - only to find it takes time and effort to make ALL that work.

And now, let’s see…she is sending her mother nasty letters and smirking when the press sees her deliver it, stripping down to her underwear (isn’t that what I heard? I tend to tune out some when they mention her, Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton or Nicole Richie), feeding kids sodas thru baby bottles…okay, I guess we don’t know for sure about the last one. But honestly… can’t you see her doing that? And telling her oldest to go get her lollipops which are in actuality her cigarettes??

What a maroon.

I just wanted to post briefly and say - I got the job that I wanted. I will do some training the last few weeks of this month then start next month.

While I sometimes get bored being by myself a lot at work, I dread the whole co-workers thing. There have been some great co-workers at the last couple of jobs I had, and I hope that carries to this place. I worked at one place for 10 years and it was like high school hell made over.

Wish me luck.

The whole job thing has had a plus side - kept my mind off the wedding and all that needs to be done there. Now I guess I’ll start fretting over it again.
