Now I Know What NASCAR Drivers Feel Like

You know how many miles I drove this past week? I don't and I drove them.

Saturday - San Marcos to San Antonio through the Hill Country (see thread below).
Sunday - Very little.
Monday - San Antonio to Austin to San Marcos to Austin to San Marcos.
Tuesday - San Marcos to San Antonio to San Marcos.
Wednesday - San Marcos to San Antonio to San Marcos to San Antonio to San Marcos.
Thursday - San Marcos to Austin to Cedar Park to Austin to San Marcos to San Antonio to San Marcos (early Friday).
Friday - San Marcos to Austin to San Marcos to San Antonio.

Yipes. I'm not going to even try to figure that out in mileage. If somebody wants to, be my guest.

I just signed up for XM Radio's free online trial. I really want to get it - especially for the baseball coverage, but damned if I can afford it right now.

Going to watch Game 2 at Kori's tomorrow with a cookout and all. It'd be pretty damn cool if a bunch of us end up getting a suite downtown for the possible clinching game.

I Accept Your Challenge... Partially.

Because of Kelly's post, I must now choose my six favorite songs right now. Here goes.

1. Pat Green - Carry On
2. Black Eyed Peas - Anxiety
3. Linkin Park - Faint
4. The Crystal Method - I Know It's You
5. Sarah McLachlan - World On Fire
6. Eric Clapton - Layla

Those are pretty much some of my favorite songs regardless of the time.

What An Evening!

Well, I haven't updated in a week + a day.

I'll start with tonight.

If you can, take a drive. Do something. I needed tonight. I needed to just be away. I drove the backroads (so to speak) of the Texas Hill Country to get from San Marcos to San Antonio.

Saw Canyon Lake for the first time today. That water looks great from a truck. That water looks like it'd be there only for you when you need it, and I'm going to test that theory soon.

Man, windows down with some Pat Green playing (for the first two hours of my three-hour sojourn) and driving through the Hill Country took me to some picturesque areas of this great state... places I wouldn't mind living, even.

I want to get into my few hours more. So many experiences with so few actions. So may actions brought a serenity to me tonight. I feel calm, collected... still a little crazy, but with some new-found ability to handle things a little better. I guess we'll find out.

So the Spurs won. 4-1. I don't really care who they match up with in the Finals since they'll both be tough. Didn't try to get any tickets (unless somebody comes up with some). Anyway, the SpursTalk.com GTGs (Get ToGethers) will be more fun - especially if everybody is there if/when the Spurs win it all.

Saw Pat Green in concert at Stubb's in Austin on Thursday evening with Miss Merks (Kelly). He puts on one hell of a show, so much so that I'm going to try and be in New Braunfels for the concert on the 23rd.

Stubb's is a nice spot for a show. It was humid, but once Pat got on stage, I kind of forgot since I was just singing along like a dope - although Kelly got into it, too.

I'm still kind of loopy after tonight's drive. Man, that was relaxing...
