Work...

Well, some good fortune came my way and I had an Interview with Wachovia Securities. I hope to start with them as a temp to hire Wednesday of next week. I will be in the Consulting Services Group (CSG) for short. There are 13 products that this unit has and they range from 401k to retirement funds. I will start to train for this position as soon as I get to work. Lots of training I will need, but I can do it. So, I will keep you abreast of the situation.

Nine Inch Nails

The show was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! They played for about 1 hour 45 minuets. The opening act SUCKED!! His name was Saw Williams … I don’t really have anything to say about him. Kind of like Drum and Bass with spoken word lyrics. Very racist stuff and political stuff from a black man. His set was not put together well and he used drum machine and his “DJ” did all the beats with it. On the other hand, Trent had a 6 piece band with a drummer, bass, lead, rhythm, and keyboard set. The visual show was one of the better shows that I have seen.

Set List:

Pinion
Mr. Self Destruct
Sin
Terrible Lie
March Of The Pigs
The Line Begins To Blur
The Frail/The Wretched
Closer (Only Time)
Burn
Gave Up
Eraser
Beside You In Time
Right Where It Belongs
Wish
Only
Every Day Is Exactly The Same
Please
Hurt
Reptile
Deep
The Hand That Feeds
Head Like A Hole

He played well and very hard. The show went off with out a hitch and it was very tight with no mistakes that one could tell. The arrangements of the songs were very nice and he used lots of video in the show. IT is neat to see how some of the early stuff was played now with a band instead of just him. Here is also a link that will give you pictures from the show. The link is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/grizzlyadam/sets/72057594067153415/

GO to that link and you will see the light show. It was a very good show. This got me stoked and I can’t wait to go and see The Orb at the end of the month.

I just got a copy of this album…Very interesting! Captain Kirk, doing spoken word to 60’s classics!!! I have always heard of this album, but never been able to listen to it, so I found it..

1. King Henry The Fifth/Elegy For The Brave
2. Theme From Cyrano/Mr. Tambourine Man
3. Hamlet/It Was A Very Good Year
4. Romeo And Juliet/How Insensitive (Insensatez)
5. Spleen/Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
6. The Transformed Man

It is very interesting album, being all spoken word. It will take some time b4 I get through with this album to give a good review of it.
Live long and Prosper…

The Weekend....

Well, my brother came up from Duke University yesterday to stay the night with me. He is in Divinity School to become a preacher. He is 10 years younger than me and lived in Austin most of his life. He came up and we went out to eat, then we listened to music all night for like 8 hours. WOW!! What a fun time. I guess that in my life, that was a very awesome time of bonding with my younger brother. We never got to spend much time together due to living circumstances. We got up this morning and we cooked Steak and Shrimp, and then went to Star Bucks. After that I took him thru Downtown Richmond and he had to return to Duke this evening… We are planning to get together soon,,,,
