I went to random house party/concert in Tempe last night and discovered an amazing band called Leopold and his Fiction. They had a great sound that was 60's bluesy but rocked your ass off. Their lead singer/guitarist, Daniel, was a real talent and could really put on a show while playing with a ton of emotion. They played in Flag the night before and randomly met some guys who asked them to come down and play for us at the house party thrown by Dave. It was one of the best shows I've been to because of the house setting. There were 30-40 people squeezed into a living room and the bands where playing right on top of you. Also Black Carl played a great show and got the party moving with their funky soulful sounds, until the cops broke it up around midnight.
Thank god the most timid cops in the world were there, they were scared as shit. When we left that had this look like "Please don't riot because there are 2 of us and 100 of you". I'm not complaining because they could of been dicks and ID us all and wasted our time.
Overall this was one of the best parties I've ever attended.

Zona sunset 7/21
Orange, my favorite color. I took this pic the other evening around 7:30pm. Right after I missed a free sneak preview of Step Brothers.
Blog 2, New job
Good morning, I thought that I would make a blog and keep up with it but I haven’t so far but that’s ok because I’m ready to give you'll a sweet update. I've been real busy with my new job at the large hotel in downtown Phoenix; yes we have a downtown in Phoenix. The downtown here in my beloved valley is a random collection of office buildings, hotels, an arena and a ballpark. The reason I’m hesitant to call it a downtown is because nobody actually lives in the downtown area and therefore there is not much to do down here after the sun goes down. Enough about are crap ass downtown even though we’re the 5th largest city in the US.
My new job isn’t that bad as a front desk agent at a decent hotel, but it will become monotonous soon. A lot of the same poop different scoop so far. I’ve only been there for a week and a half, and I feel like I have figured out the job. Like any job I’ll go into it working hard and hopefully make an impression. Then over the next few months I’ll figure out who to stand up strait for, who to joke with, who to smile at, who to make small talk to (older folks), and so on. After that you can enter cruise control and the job becomes easy because you continue to complete the same tasks and problems on a daily basis. One big positive is that I enjoy the people I work with and hopefully they will keep the job fun and original.
I wish I would have gotten the concierge job that originally applied for, but I realized that it is a coveted job. You need some experience in the hotel industry and probably have a resume, two things I didn’t have. It’s the easiest job you can have at the hotel. You sit in a big office chair all day and make small talk with people about what to do. You never have to get shit on which I figure is the department I work in, while standing all day. I love the complaint that its too hot in there room. I respond “I’m sorry to hear that, may I ask how hot it is in your room?” “I can only get it down to 76, and I had to sleep with a wet towel on my head.” I wish I could say “Well maybe if your company wasn’t so fucking cheap they would not have a convention in Phoenix in July”, but I can’t and then I lie to them and tell them that engineering will come up and fix there A/C. But I really know that there is nothing they can do.
That wasn’t that hard I just wrote this whole blog while taking a poop at work. On my cell phone, I should do this more often. That is upkeep my blog, not poop and blog simultaneously right before my shift starts, right after I clocked in.

My first blog
To start my first blog I'll introduce myself. I'm a 22 year old young male from Tempe, AZ, the hottest place in the f-ing world right now. But the heat doesn't get to me that much because I've been living in the same hell hole my entire life. That's enough about me you'll get to know me through my future blogs.
Now on to the things that are on my mind today and I'll start with sports;
Should the DBacks sign Barry Bonds?
Simply put YES! Don't hate the player, hate the game. Just because Barry was the best player when most of baseball was on steroids doesn't mean he the one to blame. People should start blaming Bud for allowing it to happen. Bottom line DBacks should sign him because fans like to see a winning team. We need a bat to protect the line up. If we get Barry we can run away with the NL West, and you can't argue that point. Sign him before the Red Sox realize that Big Papi won't be coming back anytime soon.
I'm tired of people getting all over Barry for taking roids. He cheated becasue everyone else was, Barry was actually late to the craze and he wanted to catch up with McGwire and Sosa. My question to all the haters out there is if someone came to you and told you that all your coworkers were taking a drug making them a better employee and causing them to out preform you, would you not consider taking it? You have to look at the situation from the big picture and put your morals aside and ask yourself what you would of done in his situation. Most of the pitchers that were throwing to him were juiced so were was his advantage. Every player had the ability to roid for years without any problems from MLB and Bud. This is because everyone loves the long ball, and it helped the game revive it self after the strike. Once again, don't hate the player, hate the game.
