Neil made me (kinda) like Rihanna

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Gosh, it’s tough writing all these posts about liking music lately. Why? Because I typically don’t like new music. Especially new music owned by large record labels and played on commercial radio.

My Experience with Music

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

I’ve never been a super-fan of music, but when I find something I like I crank it up to 17!

Instead, I visited Nashville, Tennessee, from the 14th-17th of December for Geoff Smith’s Christmas party on the 15th.
I [...]

Today Geoff Smith twittered the following:
its been quite a morning. Flat tire. Loving on a big hill makes it so hard to change the tire
I was a bit confused by this. As I figure many people were. Hence, his next tweet:
ok. My iPhone typing is really bad. I meant [...]
