So right now I'm listening to an audiobook excerpt from Denis Leary's latest book Why We Suck. I got this for free on iTunes (cool thing #1 about the internet). How did I found out about this free excerpt? Twitter (cool thing #2 about the internet).
I have recently gotten into Twitter and I dig it. I follow (that's Twitter speak) iTunesFreeDLs which non twitterers can get to with this link: www.twitter.com/iTunesFreeDLs and those of you savy enough to be on Twitter can find them @iTunesFreeDLs. That's how you refer to other users. Anyways, you can check out all the newest free stuff that is on iTunes, sometimes songs, videos, audiobooks, etc. via the @iTunesFreeDLs updates.
Now I don't personally know many people that use Twitter, but I find that it's a GREAT way to follow different newspapers, sports teams and even some celebs all in one place. I go there now to find the latest links to articles regarding the Redskins and Gamecocks among others. If someone has music or articles they've written Twitter is a great way to let other people find and enjoy those things. As a matter of fact I'll be tweeting (more Twitter speak) the link to this blog so if anyone actually cares about it they can check it out.
Sometimes I write articles for a website called Bleacher Report. There, sports fans can write and read articles written by other fans. Later this week I'll be writing about what the NFL Draft told us about the state of the Gamecocks. Guess what, I'm gonna post a link to it on Twitter. You folks should check it out if you haven't already.
Oh and you can follow me here.
Holler.

Ramblings
So as it turns out, I really suck at keeping this thing updated. But we have been really busy. Here's what our spring has looked like so far and what is coming up:
- C's bday weekend 4/4 and 4/5
- Simpsonville for Easter
- Aiken/Augusta 4/17 - 4/19
- Work and the NFL draft this weekend (4/25 and 4/26)
- Next weekend we have a going away party at the lake for Jordan and House
- Then on 5/9 I'm going to the Darlington race and Christina is going back to Simpsonville
- The next weekend (5/16 & 5/17) Heidi will be visiting and I'm going to the All-Star race
- The following weekend we will leave for San Diego and be there a week (woohoo!)
- The weekend after we get back from San Diego we'll have our yard sale
- After that we get a weekend off!!!!
- But then we rev it back up again, going to Charleston for my company picnic and to see friends
- Then another week off before we celebrate July 4th at the lake.
WHEW!
So that's a lot of stuff on our plate. I didn't realize how much until I started typing it out. Most of that should be really fun though. It will be sad to see Jordan and House leave as I mentioned. House reports to Eagle Pass, TX around May 18th I believe and he'll be there indefinitely. Jordan leaves June 9th(ish) for Douglas Arizona and he'll be there a year. But we'll send them off with a nice little lake shindig in which we'll be able to lounge on our new lake toy (picture to follow).
That's it for now folks. I talk a vow to keep this thing a bit more updated. At least once a week and some links to pictures should be on the way too. Hope everyone watching the NFL draft will enjoy it as much as me!!
