i definitely have a pronounced spring in my step today. i think it's a combination of the glorious spring-like weather, the rapid intake of a mocha this morning, and a night filled with pleasant dreams of a certain someone. nothing clears away the clouds of melancholy like waking up in a fantastic mood, huh? and i didn't even get a full night's sleep…

it's been decided that the whole crew (consisting of myself, matt, paul, and jess) will be heading up to cincy this weekend to catch some hey mercedes rock action. paul and i have already decided to accost bob and todd and slam down a few cold ones. hey bob…how about a "brian +3" on that there guest list? har har…i kill me sometimes…

if anyone is interested in writing a column for a brand new indie rock webzine that is in the makings, . we've definitely got some talent that we're farming for this. rest assured that we'll be "keepin' it real."

matt's home sick today. he's caught a bit of a cold and he's generally feeling like shit. he was looking pretty rough last night, so hopefully he gets to feeling better today. everyone send him a . he and i will most likely do lunch this afternoon, so i guess that's all good, huh?

seth was supposed to come over last night, but he got tied up in what he described as "someone else's emotional crisis". this doesn't surprise me, as that guy always seems to have everyone else's shit dumped right into his lap. i know i've definitely dropped a ton on him over the years. he's one of the few friends i still have left from those "turbulent high school years". anyone who can take my bullshit for as long as he had definitely deserves some props.

and now back to your regularly scheduled drone…
