In December, I finally upgraded my phone and purchased an 8gb iPhone. Now, its useless to me as a phone as I can not hear anyone through any function, whether it be earpiece, headphone, speakerphone, or bluetooth, even. I can hear voicemail, listen to music, text, internet, take pictures fine except for hearing while on a call. Weird, I know. I drove to Louisville on Saturday (3/21) to go to the Apple Store and after approximately a 5 minute wait and a 5 second inspection, they informed me that they would not service the phone due to water damage. Unfortunately, the phone had never been wet but their moisture sensor had been tripped. (I have a feeling it may have had something to do with the apartment situation, but I’m not 100% sure and can’t be sure…) So, I’ve bought another one, and this time I plan on getting a case for it so that this type of thing won’t happen again.

Classes are going well and we’re a week and a half or so past mid-term so classes are flying by… I’m not sure what classes I’ll take next semester, but if I’m back in Owensboro, I am going to try to take at least one on campus class and I don’t think I’m going to go full time, but I may. Full time online, while being a lot of work if its not 2×2 bitermed classes, is also a lot more expensive than taking 3 online and 1 on campus. So, we’ll see what happens but I am liking WKU compared to EKU. It feels like I have more control over the types of courses I can take. I can’t wait to be done though!

The car is doing well. I’ve put over 20,000 miles on it since I purchased it on 5 July 2008. I believe it averages out to about 75 miles per day for that time period. It’s going well, which is good, because we’ll be taking it to Nashville in April to see Dave Matthews and to Chicago in August to see Jimmy Buffett. Plans to see U2 in September/October time frame are also in the works, too. I can’t wait to see both DMB and Jimmy Buffett… We’ve been able to sell our original tickets to my sister’s friend and upgrade our seats for the same price as the old ones for Dave Matthews and we have some great seats. Here’s a diagram of the seating change. As for Jimmy Buffett, I’ve been wanting to see Buffett live for some time now, and we finally made it happen. The tickets aren’t the absolute greatest, but it will be a great experience and we can try for better seats next time. As for U2, I have lots of friends interested, so its just down to ticket availability, which I’m sure won’t be easy. We’re looking at either Chicago or Atlanta for the U2 show.

I guess that’s about all for now… Keep track on Twitter for more from me, but I’ll still be back here from time to time to post. Until then…

BNL came out and played for a good 2 hours or so, and, while I don’t have a full set list, among the songs played were “One Week”, “The Old Apartment”, “Pinch Me”, “For You”, “Maybe Katie”, and two of my favorite karaoke tunes – “Brian Wilson” and “If I Had $1,000,000″. BNL’s improvisation abilities are superb and added great enjoyment and comedy to the concert. The concert ended with “King of Bedside Manor” which included bits of Van Morrison’s “Moondance”.

It was a great venue and an amazing show, full of surprises – including sitting not 20 feet from Jared the Subway guy! I highly recommend seeing BNL as they are a great band and very funny. Horseshoe Southern Indiana has a great venue in its outdoor ampitheater and would also recommend seeing anyone there as it small and any seat is a great seat. Horseshoe Southern Indiana seems to be pulling some pretty big names with its Summer Concert Series. The Beach Boys and Reba have played recently at Horseshoe and Gretchen Wilson, Bob Dylan, and a Styx/Boston combined concert are coming up soon. You can view a list of the upcoming events at the outdoor ampitheater here.

It’s got a 4 cylinder, 2.3L engine that pushes out 156Â bhp and 150 lb-ft of torque and has an automatic transmission with a manual mode that allows you to shift if you want. Inside, it has black and blue leather seats, a moon roof, and a 6 disc in dash CD changer, which, unfortunately, does not offer MP3 support. I have a feeling that I’ll be installing a new head unit soon but I’ll live with the 6 disc changer for now.

The job search is not going as well as I had hoped. I am expanding my view to include Louisville as well. I figure that there is a much better/bigger job market there than in either Richmond or Owensboro, and its a nice city to boot.

Speaking of Louisville, this Saturday is the Barenaked Ladies concert at Caesars Indiana – just outside of Louisville. I’m very excited and can’t wait to see BNL live!

I guess that’s it for now… back to building a server.

I am looking for a job in Owensboro as I am quite wanting to move back to the area. It will also be nice to be closer to WKU in the event I’ll need to be on campus for something.

Have fun, everybody!

I just withdrew from my summer and fall courses from EKU. Also, I have filled out and have ready to mail a transcript request from EKU and submitted my application for readmission to… Western. Yes – Western. The school I wanted to attend as a freshman in high school – and the school I briefly attended after my 3 years at OCTC. Why Western? Well, I can most probably get out of there faster than I can at EKU. I’m hoping 2 years is all I’ll need – possibly less if I can swing it.

I’ll still be living up in Richmond for the time being, may decide to move closer to work – Winchester, where I can take courses at the community college – or maybe try to find something in/around Owensboro so I can take courses at WKU-O. Anyways, as I said before, it’s late. Just wanted to share – good night.

I had a pretty good birthday – got to see lots of friends which is always good. I purchased my new firearm – the CZ 75 Kadet. I am already looking for my upgrade to it even though I have yet to fire my CZ. I saw the Ruger SR9 today, and a friend suggested the Springfield XD – on top of the option of going with another CZ in a larger caliber. I still have plenty of time to decide as I won’t be purchasing an upgrade for a while but I do want to look. I still need to purchase a holster for my CZ but it can wait. I really want to put some rounds through it – and it’s definitely cheap enough. I purchased 550 rounds for $13 and change at Walmart recently. As stated in a previous post, this is one of the major reasons for purchasing a .22 caliber.

Speaking of firearms, I recently spoke to the guy in charge of EKU’s chapter of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. Seems like a nice enough guy and hopefully I will be joining the ranks of the organization. Recently, I’ve been active on the UK chapter of SCCC’s website (it helps that my friend Mike is the webmaster). Concealed carry on campus is something I strongly believe in, for reason’s I won’t get in to at the present, and I hope we can shed some light on the subject.

Anyways – I’ll wrap it up here. I’ll post more later.

In addition, I will be (more than likely) purchasing the CZ-75 Kadet. I am excited for this purchase and cannot wait. More news to come. Stay tuned.
