Sweet. The blog is rather active. Apparently I need to check more than once a month.

Mark, glad to hear you haven't been kidnapped yet.

I too have been eyeing the new crop of game systems. I have no idea why, I never use my gamecube and I barely use my SP nowadays. My lack of interest in video games makes me sad because it's not as though I have a girlfriend, wife, or constructive hobby that I devote my time to.

To catch everyone up, it looks like I have two months of blogging to do. Perhaps some highlights will suffice. I'll start with the future and work my way backwards.

If you want the real quick version, here's my outline:

1. Accenture team in Frankfort is cool.
2. Going to see Matisyahu next week.
3. Went to Louisville/Pitt Thur. ESPN game and saw the moon, twice.
4. Ryan got a new v8 Mustang
5. Saw NIN in concert. Great show.
6. Ran through a lot of flowers south of Lexington, KY.
7. Went to the horse track, lost $20.
8. Chick from that date never called me back.

My Accenture buds up in Frankfort are pretty cool. They like to go out, get drunk, and do crazy stuff. As usual, I end up being the least crazy, since I usually drink much, much less than everyone else. Next week we're going into the big city (Louisville) to see Matisyahu. Should be fun. I've got some pictures from our halloween party we had that I should post up somewhere.

Went to the Louisville, Pittsburgh ESPN Thursday night game this past Thursday. C, A, R, D, S. Cards! I heard that a lot. The team's mascot is the Cardinal, if you didn't already know. They had a promising season ahead of them until they lost two games to "bad" teams, but everyone there seemed to be in high spirits. It was a good time. Nice stadium. Lots of ladies. Lots of ass. That's right, but only the dudes were the ones dropping trow(sp?). Two mooning incidents, one from the drunk guy who kept turning around to talk to the crowd. He ended up mooning the other team, though I doubt they were aware. The other showing was from the large gentleman in front of me. Dude was letting his pants slide, and then he started bending over to look for his lost souvineer beer cup. Ah, the hilarity of giant tighty whities creeping down.

Ryan got a new mustang (the car, not the animal) to replace his 2000 that got T-boned. This is his car, except with different rims and no side stripe, and the front stripe still has to be painted on, but it will be.

Saw Nine Inch Nails in concert two Thursday's ago at Philips Arena. That was a sweet show. If you enjoy NIN, I thought they sounded better. No crazy hijinks though, just good music, stagelighting, and a little policitical commentary in the form of a multimedia picture presentation. I was planning on going to see Depeche Mode play next weekend. Apparently that concert is today. Whoops. Maybe next time. I do like their new album. It's right up my alley of musical taste.

I recently went to Raven's Run nature sanctuary which is located a little south of Lexington KY. It was fun drive down some windy backroads that narrow down to one car width. This place is known for it's wildflowers, so there weren't any great scenic views - just a lot of trees, tall grass, and flowers. I had good trail run.

Before Raven's Run, I visited my first horse track, the prestigious Keeneland. I had never heard of it before but apparently it's well known. Keeneland is the whole deal, race track, training facility, stud farm, manure factory, anything with horses. My focus was on the racing, so me and my friend Elizabeth went to the track and got some seats. The grounds are very nice, very green, and have an "old-time" feel. This is the track where Seabiscuit was filmed. I bet on about half of the races. I'm not very good. I picked the winner once, and failed to nail down any other combo for any other race. All in all I was out $20 from betting.

This brings me back to that last Saturday when Mark was in town and I had my Internet date. I thought the date was going pretty good: the conversation was good, I was getting some good eye contact, alcohol was being consumed, I was keeping the ambient temperature high, and we were out until 2am, and... then I was stonewalled at the apartment door. Didn't make it in and I didn't get a call back, after calling her twice the next week. Not enough alcohol apparently.

BT
