which is probably mostly due to the crappy band and the mo-ron sound tech who had the level up WAY to high while the guitarist doing some noise / tuning thing…

Last night Rich, Don and I went to see The Vandals as the HOB in Anahiem. The Vandals were great and reminded me of a few things. Warn is a great guitarist and all-around funny dude. Josh Freese is still an amazing drummer who can keep PERFECT timing and he reminds me that I’m feeling WAY overdue to see Devo again (he’s the drummer for Devo also). I felt like I was 18 again though the same dudes 10+ years ago were much crazier but still very entertaining.

Rich, Michelle and I started off the evening by going into Disneyland to grab a bite and we ended up riding the Pirate ride. Being back in the park and walking around further put me in a nostalgic mood. I have some crazy stories and memories of working there I should write about sometime before I forget!

With baby coming soon, I guess I’m starting to feel old and nostalgic! So it was nice to go to a concert and see the same performers you watched and listened to while in High School and College.

After getting home and laying down for bed (my ears were still buzzing and I was still a bit wound up) I reflected on the evening and thought about life before I was married and now about to have a baby.

I have to say I do miss or feel nostalgic of my crazy and carefree *youth* days from time to time but I realize I like them better as memories and not as the present. I don’t think I would ever want to go back and relive those days even if I was given the chance to. I am very pleased with where my life is now. I have an awesome wife, a good job and I’m SUPER excited for the next huge step in our life, Dominic!
