It’s been a while… Big changes

May 22nd, 2008 by thedr

There have been a lot of changes for me since my last post. The biggest of which is relocating from the Chicagoland area to the Madison, WI area because of a great job opportunity that I simply could not turn down.

I took a Natural Search Marketing Analyst position at a top-tier natural search company called Netconcepts

Killswitch Engage and Lamb of God - One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen

December 6th, 2007 by thedr

Killswitch Engage and Lamb of God

This is seriously the best show i’ve seen in a very long time. Maybe it had something to do with the thrill of it though. Because this is also the first time I didn’t have my tickets in advance. I had been wanting to go since I found out about it, but there was a possibility I could miss it due to these conferences for work I thought I might have to go to. So needless to say, I didn’t get to go to the conferences so I was able to go to this concert.

And I am extremely happy I was able to go to this because it really was worth it. I’m still not happy I missed the conference for work (because they are so important for what I do) but at least I can say there is a definite upside to not being able to make either of them.

Maynard’s “Industrial” Project: Puscifer

November 28th, 2007 by thedr

Puscifer

So Maynard James Keenan released a new album under the name Puscifer. It was originally introduced to me in the Underworld Evolutions soundtrack. My little brother told me about it and, being the huge fan of Maynard that I am, I looked into it immediately. So I bought the new album, V is for Vagina and I just have to say I really liked it.

It really isn’t too much like any of his other work with Tool or even A Perfect Circle for that matter. But I always go into new experiences with an open mind and no expectations. It was no different this time and I was very pleased with the ride I took.

If any of you are fans of either Tool or APC, I would say check this out, but keep in mind that it is different. I definitely hear some of Maynard’s singing style he brought from the APC album, eMotive, but other than that I really can’t see too many similarities with anything else he’s done.

Hello world!

November 26th, 2007 by admin

Welcome to my newly upgraded website! I plan on using it to post up anything I deem interesting enough to talk about. But I think I’ll eventually have it broken out pretty well. You know, all the important things in life: Cars, Music, Football, Photography, SEO and of course ramblings or rants. I’ll leave my movie commentary on my other website Movienik.com.  But I love movies.  Ask anyone that knows me real well.

So thanks for comin’ by… Sorry there’s not too much goin’ on here yet but I promise there’s more to come soon.
