I have been patiently waiting for this for a month. Today was the day that tickets for the Coldplay Houston concert to go on sale at 10am. I was there on the computer waiting this morning. But once they came up for sale, I had no idea what I was doing. Everytime a set would come up they were in the back of the floor, or way in the back of the Toyota Center. I wasn't getting a good shot at good tickets. At one point, I found some okay tickets, but the time it took to put in all the information wound down before I could finish! ARGH!!! So they went back to be sold to someone else. Dawn, finally got home and I had been frustrated for an hour and a half. She came in and after several attempts, I was given a chance at a set of good tickets once again, so we got them! Dawn was looking and telling me what I needed to type. I was watching the clock wind down, and got really nervous that we were going to lose these too. But we did it. So now, we have tickets to one of the most anticipated concerts this year!!! Now, we have to wait until November. WoW. That's a long way away. But we are looking forward to it. Of course, I'm more excited about it than Dawn is. But hey. I Love Coldplay. She Likes them.
I really want her to come with me on this one. I went to Garth Brooks concert Last November in Kansas City and it was just me. I really missed her, I was kind of bored. The concert was terriffic. Nearly two and a half hours of Garth. And Dawn is a big fan. But she wasn't there. I said that the next concert would be the both of us. It was going to be U2 or Coldplay. Coldplay came first. Hope to see U2 one day. I actually have come very close to seeing U2 at least twice. Each time my plans never came through. And I've been saddened because it was so close. I did see Richard Marx at Worlds of Fun on summer. Got in free because I worked there. My first real concert was Weird Al Yankovick on the Poodle Hat tour!!! I said that Garth was my first on my wife's blog, but I just remembered that. I still have the stub in my wallet!!! I guess you can call Garth the first Real Concert. Weird Al was a comedy show but it was AWESOME!!! But I did go to that on my own too. Dawn's never gone with me. Why? Bad timing...???
But not this time. I'm looking at getting a room next to the Toyota Center. Litterally next door. We could just walk across the street!!! And of course, we would have to go to NELORE!!! Oh HECK YEAH!!! Those two day in November are going to be AWESOME!!!
I'll try to write some more about my concert going experiences. All two or three of them. I even got pictures at Garth!!! Gotta put them on here! See YA!

ATTACKED IN THE FRONT YARD!!!
While walking out to my truck during my lunch break today, I closed the front door and walked to the truck. Then, I began to feel some pops on my shoulder. Then those pops began to burn really bad! I was getting attacked by wasps or hornets! They flew down from above my head. There were about 5 or six of them I think. They kept hitting my shoulder, and as I finally realized what was happening after a few seconds I tried to move forward towards my truck, only to get hit in the forehead by them. I swatted a few with my hand, but another slammed into my finger and hit it two times! I finally ducked my head down and kept yelling and hit the front door of the house. Somehow in the swatting, I also knocked my glasses down off my face so I couldn't see anything except black flying things swarming around me. I managed to swat and swipe them off of my shoulder and hand long enought to get away and as I hit the door, I was afraid they were flying towards me. I opened it up and got inside. I locked the door and just let out this awful yell. My shoulder burned really bad. My forehead was burning. And my had was just in a mess with really bad burning sensations. It wasn't going away either. It seemed to burn sold for a good hour. It like 3 in the morning and it still hurts. My finger is really tight and it hurts to move it or really use it. I think I actually got hit five times. Twice in the shoulder, once on the forehead, and twice on the hand. Dawn came running in, and all I could ask was if there was anything on my back or shoulder. She looked and told me no. My body was just burning and hurting. I haven't been stung in 31 years. No joke. I took my shirt off and my wife had to put some kind of junk on me with amonia. I called my boss to let him know I was going to be late getting back. He told me to spray some windex on the stings. But I was the whole time in pain and I don't usually show it often. It hurt that bad. I was shocked at how much it did hurt. I couldn't help it as I kept letting out groans and those breath in breaths through your teeth.
I called my mother in law and warned her not to come in the front door. She went to the store and bought some killer. After spraying them, they knocked down the nest. I don't know how long it had been there, but it was a good baseball sized nest. How long had it been there, and they just lay dormant. I wonder what set them off.
Funny thing though, Dawn gave me some kind of pill and within an hour I was nearly falling asleep as I walked and stood at work. I still don't know what it was.
Now I'm all like cautious and a little fearful of walking out there. I know that Dawn knocked the nest down after her mother sprayed it. But it's still alittle scary to know where they came from after never seeing them before. I got some pictures of where the nest was. I snuck out the door to look for where they may have come from. Sure enough it was under the awning. I took pics with my phone and sent them to Dawn, showing where they were. That was kind of cool.
Well, there's my adventure for the day...

It's Father's DAY!!!
My wife got me an aaawessommmee gift. She got me a new radio for the truck! Which I was completely shocked. It had everything I wanted in a radio/cd/mp3/ipod ready player. This radio actually attaches to my Ipod and can control my ipod. I was looking at one earlier in the year but didn't get it. Was going to buy it and have someone install it.
Well, got this one and studied the instructions and did some online research. It looked like I could handle it. So I decided to do it myself. It actually wasn't too hard to do. I've never done this before though. So I really found some good info out there and with a deep breath I jumped into it.
I ended up having to buy another adaptor for my truck. I bought one that said it was for my truck. Took it home and hooked it up with some crimpping connectors. Then got out to the truck all excited. Took off the dash and pulled out the old radio. The tried to hook it to see if it was going to fit. It was completely wrong! It wasn't even close! Oh I was angry.
Then I had to push the new bracket into place for it, since you had to put it together and then the nuts and bolts stuck out way too far! But it still fit. Somehow.
Then I had to run to Lowes and get some connectors and went to Wally World and got a new bracket that actually looked right.
Got home and had to reconnect all of that together. Then took it all out and put it all together. And IT WORKED!!! It just took me like five hours to get it all working right! I was sitting outside just listening to it when I was done. Had to clean up the truck though so my wife could sit in there and listen to it too with me.
She really surprised me with this one. That's a hard thing to do.
This radio is awesome! It's amazing what a difference the sound is. It's the same factory speakers and all, but the unit has such a better sound quality, it's terrific! Better Highs and Lows. Larger bass. And the sound coming out of the ipod is great! I ran the wire to the glove compartment. So I can have it inside and not even seen! There's a remote that I can use too! This is an awesome radio. And just in time. I'm going to Missouri at the end of this week. It's going to be great. Last two trips I've used a FM modulator and power cord. It's worked okay. It did the job. But I was always having to find new stations to tune to when I was driving and the sound started going bad. But this is even better! This is a great father's day present. Thank you my loving wife and family!
Looking forward now to driving to Missouri and listening to that new Coldplay I preordered and the new Weezer album too!!!

An empty room???
Well, What can I say? I don't like to keep up with BLOGS!!! It's a fun thing but at some point, it becomes, or I should say, it crosses that line that seperates it from being fun, to becoming a job that isn't so much fun as it used to be. Blah Blah Blah... You know how it goes.
HORRAY FOR JESSICA AND DANIEL!!! I'm excited that they are going to have a new pet Hotel for their cats and dogs!!! Free Trogdor is finally coming to fruition!!! He shall be free. And we here at the Free Trogdor Foundation are truely pleased with this outcome. We shall miss him and his antics. But like all good things, it too must come to an end. So good luck to you Trogdor. Hope you poop all over the place and give your owners the same treatment that you have so freely given to us! (See how it feels to step in a pile when you wake up in the morning!!! That'll wake you up in less than two seconds.)
Bella Cat sends her best wishes to the cats that will be moving out. She's all happy as can be knowing that it will all be over soon. She will have the room to herself again. Just her and the Shadow! Peace at last. She won't be so eager to run out the door everytime it opens just so she can get away from those other cats. But she has taught them a few tricks as to how to get out of the house when their owners aren't able to do anything. Princess and the bad word named cat are pretty good at it now. They will show them how to do it and I'm sure that they will be able to share this with others. Good luck to all the cats in their new home! But be sure to use that litter box as well as you do here. (Which means that they will be loving those moving boxes and showing how much they "love" being in a new home...)
GOODBYE animals. Farewell and to you all the best wishes. And be sure not to let that door hit you on the way out! Just hope they don't get car sick!!! That is a long drive with no potty break either! Great!
