Tonight is Week 2 of the Fall volleyball season.  I like coming up with immature or funny names for our teams.  Saturday Night Live seems to be our inspiration right now.  Last season, we were Got My Flippy Floppies from the On A Boat song.  This season, we are Dig In A Box.  You should know what that is from.  Last week, we had 2 sub players because 2 of our regular players missed the first week of the season for the 3rd season in a row.  It’s kind of funny to think about.

Also tonight, my high school a;ma mater has the first meeting of the new Gridiron Club, a football booster club made up of only former players.  I don’t know if I am going to go.  It could interfere with my mental focus on volleyball prep.  It might be nice to see some of the old players.  I don’t know.  Volleyball is a big deal to me right now.

I like the new Third Eye Blind album, Ursa Major.  I bought it Sunday night on a pre-order from iTunes only to find out it was available immediately.  The next day, I found out I could get it for $3.99 from Amazon as just the MP3s.  I felt a little ripped off, but I wasn’t too mad.

The fact is, I have been waiting on this album for a while now.  I saw them in March and they opened with the dreaded “We’re going to play a lot of new stuff tonight.”  I hate when bands say that when they don’t actually have a new album out.  Play stuff that I can enjoy.  I don’t want to hear a bunch of new songs on a CD that I can’t buy for 5 months.  The show was good, but that isn’t the point here.  My favorite songs are Don’t Believe a Word, Summer Town, and Why Can’t You Be.  I need to listen to it more.

I have an iPhone. I’ve had it a few days now. I really miss the keyboard on my Tilt though. Now, there is the Fuze sitting on my counter tempting me to switch. Yeah, oh the tough life.

That’s welcome back to me and my blog.  I used to have my blog all pretty and I wrote the code myself.  It was fun, but it was really intended to be used more as a group blog.  Plus, fighting spambots is always a pain, so I thought I would let the nice people at WordPress take care of that for me.

There will be more to come.  This post is really just to start things and give me something to look at that isn’t the test post while I tweak everything to my liking.
