WKYA - Kicking Yo ASS

It has been a crazy couple of weeks. Lots of activity and I'll try to re-cap. We'll start with Mardi Gras in St. Louis... No wait we'll start with Trivia night at the recordBar two Thursday's ago. Hands down one of the best we've attended. Not only cause we were kicking everyone's ass heading into the final round, but we were obnoxiously loud and laughing about it. The crowning moment came when in last moments of the second round being pressed for an answer we confer and give a so so answer that ended up being right! We hopped on the chairs yelling SUCK IT, giving high fives and screaming woo -hoo! The right answer was Maniac Mansion.

Next I head down over to St. Louis for Mardi Gras. My first Mardi Gras celebration and wow was it cool. Not only did I run into Ringo and Jen completely unexpectedly at Jen's parents house but one of our brewers got jumped outside of a 7-eleven and a sales guy got hit on the back of the neck with a hockey stick. Needless to say I'm not going again unless I've got a plenty of protection and huge steel balls.... and we know already have the latter. Anyways I saw plenty of boobies both female and male and got to hang with a great krewe. My piece of advice to the bartender at the private party we had in Soulard... "Don't get high on your own supply when you got two more hours to work the party."

This week I attended the Ben Taylor show at where else, the recordBar. I love this place. Ben was good sounded and looked a lot like his dad, but it was still a good show. I thought he would jam out a little more but I have to give him his props for telling the decidedly folk crowd to get off the floor and get active. Lord knows I thought they were going to fall asleep.

Trivia night was a bust. n'ough said. Friday I saw Dave Chappell's Block Party. If you love great Hip-Hop and want to see someone who has tons of talent and a conscience to boot you can either come see me or go see this movie.

Game night at the crib Saturday night. Laura and I kicked major booty taking first place. The funny part came when T.C. got mad cause no one was listening to him give instructions on how to play assassin. I think everyone was giddy and tired and he really wanted to play. Insults were flying but I couldn't stop laughing. Good times.

The next couple of weeks should be interesting - Gants comes home for one more hoorahh before heading overseas. Mom turns 65 on Sat.... St.Patty's Day..... Andy comes to town.... and Spring officially arrives.... Kick Ass!

On a final note but probably the most important thing that has happened to me in the last couple of weeks. I've been inspired. There is nothing like having a moment & the clarity and coming to the realization your bottled potential is greater than you ever imagined. Seeing someone do the things you've wanted to do and knowing you could do the same. Wow! This year has kicked last year's ass so far and there's no turning back.
