b/c i said so

Alright, not a very eventful day. I've been listening and thinking about music a lot as usual and figured I'd try to throw down a list of my top five/ten/twenty/whatever albums of 2005. Oh, listerine is almost amazing [the searing flesh means it's working]

Hopefully this won't take too long...

Alright, I've been thinking about it for a while and I'm going to go w/ ten [and some late entries] b/c five is too tough and twenty is a bit too easy and doesn't take any balls. I think it's going to come down to which ones I have spent enough time with because I've just heard about a lot of great albums in other year end lists. In other words, this could easily change a few weeks down the line as I get more into some of the most recent stuff [it's been a long year]. One more thing, there are many different ways to approach year end lists. I am going to approach this one as 'the ten albums of 2005 that I would want if I could only have ten' so I'm going for quality as well as diversity.

The holidays were nice: This was def the weirdest/worst Christmas ever but still good times. Nanny's was different since it's hit the point where it seems like it's time for each 'family' to go their separate way now + w/ all the new little kids and the 20-somethings growing apart. I'm looking forward to having the Fuller Christmas in Charlotte next year. I do love getting more from Mom + Robert than any kid over 14 should - it's pretty awesome how much they've done + continue to do for us. I got to spend a few days w/ Brooke before taking her to the airport on Christmas eve - that was def the best part of the holidays by far. Dad and I got out and played some golf w/ DJ Sparkles as our personal caddy on an unbelievably beautiful day for late December [or April for that matter]. It wasn't hard to tell that it'd been months since I last touched a club. Grandma Salter's was different this year too; mainly b/c Mom + Robert left for Houston on th...

too much sex [too little jesus]

What an awesome title for a rock song. Man, I love dbt. They've got it all. It's just dirty, rowdy, heartfelt southern rock. Anyway... Mondays are weird. I always feel like a slacker b/c everyone else is at work and I'm not, even though I work Saturdays and I went into the shop for a few hours today and did some freelance stuff. I guess it's just me. Such beautiful weather, it seems like the weather's been pretty much awesome for the past month or so. Pretty good weekend. Friday night we checked out Front Page News in midtown. It was pretty cool, I just miss the good ol' days when everyone else would get a little crazy, seems like they're all so chill now. I guess that's how it is when you get in a relationship though, so that's good for them. I guess I feel like having a girlfriend doesn't really change the way I act that much, but maybe it does. I'll work on them though, now that even more of us are in the city. Saturday was an ...
