"By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. In fact it is as difficult to appropriate the thoughts of others as it is to invent." - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

I am rocking the updating daily thing. Maybe I have just accepted that it is ok to have short entries and figure it forces me to think more about things when I have to put them down in writing. I wish I had more blogs to read, right now I only really read Maria's and she updates about once a week or so. None of my other friends write blogs that I know about.


I finally saw the end of the movie Vacancy. Ericka returned it before we got to see the end of it and since it wasn't that great I didn't think too much of it. But today I had the time to watch the end of a copy I got and yeah, not a very good movie at all. Kate Beckinsale you are still my favorite, but please do better movies.



Today, Saturday is an important day. It starts the beginning of September and the last month I can afford rent to stay in Austin. No more messing around, I either get my act together and start a responsible life or I admit to failure and move home. Fear is a good motivator and I hope it really starts to kick in.

Saturday was also the first UT game of the season. I didn't get to see the game because it wasn't being played locally, but I later heard they won, though not in convincing fashion. I really am looking forward to this season and watching some HD games, tailgating and hell maybe even attending a few. Hook'em Horns. I think I could be a good poser.

Ericka was kind enough to buy tickets for us to see the Goo Goo Dolls and Lifehouse. She actually wanted to go and see the opening band Colbie Caillat. I had never heard the band/singer before, but I had heard some songs that Ericka had played for me and I liked them. I haven't been to a concert in a long time and there were a few I really wanted to go to such as Coldplay. So when we got there Colbie started playing soon after. Her set wasn't very long, but I really enjoyed her music even though I wasn't able to make out all the lyrics. I hear she has good lyrics and I look forward to reading them soon. Well we liked her so much that we waited in line for over an hour to get her autograph. She looked so tired when she signed, but she did have a half hearted fake smile and everyone there still loved her. The whole time we were in line was when Lifehouse played. They have two songs I like, but other than that I wasn't too impressed. Then the Goo Goo Dolls came on. I feel like I would of been more excited had it been 5 years ago, but they did put on a good show. Abram told me that they chatted too much between songs and I could see why he came to that conclusion. The place was packed and the energy was great and it just made me think that this is what I want as part of my life. To be able to attend concerts and listen to bands I enjoy, but I need to take care some of the being responsible business first.

After we met up with my cousin Rino at 6th street. We went to a pool hall where we hung out with his girlfriend Jessica, his friend from the valley Erik and his girlfriend Jessica(2). Rino and I split one for one on pool games and he is really good so I was proud of my play. After we went over to his place and played poker. 10 dollar buy in winner take all tournament. So it is 3am and Erik, Ericka and I are still all alive. Finally it gets down to Erick and I near 4am and I go all in and am called. My hand holds and we were finally even, so we just split the winnings (20 each) and called it a night. I got to invite Ericka to my being up all night routine.
