i went and saw Dragonforce last night here in saskatoon. it was unreal. dueling key-tars (apparently thats how nic says your supposed to spell it). green tights, plenty of long hair all make for some good laughs. check out this video. seeing these guys play there guitars like that was sick.
if you dont want to watch it all, at least fast forward to the 2 minute mark to see the solos. wow

september
a lot has changed for me the past few months. got a job, bought a house. ok, so only two things have changed. 2 is a lot in my opinion.
anyway, its september now. starting to get into the new routine and almost feeling used to showing up to work everyday. i dont miss school. lets not lie. it was a good run, but i dont miss it.
september is a sweet time of year. the US Open just finished in dramatic fashion, baseball season is wrapping up and the push for the playoffs has begun. hockey season is just starting and i cannot wait. plans are in the works to get to at least one Canadiens game in montreal this year. the riders absolutely destroyed the bombers last weekend. life couldnt be better.
a few books ive been reading lately are from a pretty different point of view from a lot of books ive read in the past. dont get me wrong, ive read some great ones-donald miller, brian mclaren, anne lamott, blair roberts. people like that. with great stories that have made me think.
more recently however, i picked up a book by richard dawkins called 'the god delusion'. the guy is a world renowned scientist so at times it can be a tough read, but it made me think. if you actually do read it, which i expect none of you will, chapter 7 was the one that caught my attention. that and the first line in chapter 2. ouch. id be interested to hear your opinion(s)
the book im currently reading is called 'american fascists' by chris hedges. so far this one is really good. easier to read than dawkins but just as hard hitting. he went to seminary at harvard, but is writing from a very similar place to where i find myself these days.
so there it is..the point of my blog. a challenge...pick up something you wouldnt normally read. something that will make you think and challenge what you have grown up thinking is true. its good for you.
i just realized i have nothing profound to say and this blog is a complete waste of your time if you are reading it. i apologize.
