I went to the concert with XX, Her Sister and their Friend Amber.  I had never met Amber before,  but thought she was super cool, going to school to be a lawyer for good!  I took off early from work to head down and pick them up.  I arrived at XX’s house to a bunch of girls trying to get ready for a concert, enough said…LOL  We got out there in a pretty reasonable time frame, they did better then I thought they would.  I learned that girls debate about wearing something called Chicken cutlets…  I don’t think it is real chicken.

We started to head down toward Hollywood, hit a little bit of traffic.  XX was doing something to Janessa’s eyes, not sure what.  I was ranting like an old man about politics to Amber, she didn’t seem to mind or maybe she was being polite.  I kept looking back telling Janessa that she looked worse then before…LOL

We parked at the Church near the Hollywood bowl, only place to park for a concert at the Hollywood bowl.  It is cheap only $20, and they don’t stack people in there!  So once you walk down the hill you can go!  Once we made sure Janessa had the tickets we walked over to Hollywood and Highland and got some food at CPK.  They sat us outside which was cool because Panic at the Disco!  was playing a free concert for Hot Topic about 20 yards away or so.  Best Dinner Music I have ever had.

The Killers – Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine

THE KILLERS!

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Killers will go down as ONE OF the greatest American bands! Now before you Music snobs make a mess in your dickey’s listen up. These guys just don’t miss! From “Hot Fuss” all the way to there most recent album “Day & Age”, they nail it every time! The music is always solid. Even their B-Side record Saw Dust is awesome! I keep expecting them to put out an average record.

Brandon Flowers shows glimmers of Freddie Mercery at times, NO he doesn’t have the “pipes” that Freddie did but who in Rock does? I referring to his stage presences. Musically The Killers always have so much going on, I love that they have a Keyboard! I think it adds so much!

Overall Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars // A

The Killers // Hollywood Bowl / September 16th

The Killers at the Hollywood Bowl!

Lauren and I plus her sister and friend are going to see these guys September 16th at the Hollywood Bowl.   The Killers are probably the newest band that I would enjoy to see in concert, they pretty much  single-handedly brought Indie Rock to the the mainstream!  I am excited enough to put up with the Hollywood Bowl, let’s hope The Duke Spirit doesn’t open for these guy too.  HAHA

U.S. History

I enjoy this class much more!  Although it is just as much work as Algebra!  I have a 100 question take home exam this weekend which is due on Monday, and a written exam on Monday as as well.

Algebra Update

After eagerly awaiting for my Algebra Grade to post, it finally came through this week with a B!  I am happy about that, after the 46 I scored on the Wednesday before the final.  I was pretty much in the pressure cooker!  I am not sure what I scored on the final but I am pretty sure I was just a few points from an A.  The only downside is my overall GPA drops from 3.74 to 3.66, it is a big hit because math classes are 5 credit classes!

Fall Registration

I registered for my fall classes this week.  I had priority registration so I was able to get everything that I needed.  I am going to be doing a Tuesday / Thursday 8am to 7 pm schedule this semester.  It will be nice to have any night classes this semester.  The last Fall, Winter  and Spring, I was taking classes night classes Monday – Thursday!  I am excited with this schedule because I do have some large breaks between some classes that will allow me to relax or get some studying needed.

My Fall Schedule
08:00-09:20am – Geography
10:30-12:55pm – Computer Illustration
01:15-03:40pm – Intro to Digital Media
05:00-07:25pm - MORE ALGEBRA

Work Updates

I don’t talk about work very much, probably because I am pretty content with it at the moment.  I don’t get paid a ton, but the people are great, and the environment is about as stress free as a work place can be.  We all pretty much do our jobs and work as a team.  My boss is flexible with school, something that I would never get in Corporate America!  You would never hear a boss say education is the most important thing!

I had a 1 on 1 with my boss’ boss, which I think went really well.  I think he does a fabulous job of running our department.  Not really planning on going anywhere  anytime soon.
