Maroon-5-u01.jpg

Monday night was one of the best concerts that I have ever been too…well for the most part. Sara Bareilles, Maroon 5 and Counting Crows showed up and rocked the house. I do have to admit that Maroon 5 out shined Counting Crows and had a huge fan base wanting more. I have been to many concerts over the past few years and this was definitely one that was worth while. Ms. Bareilles was an amazing opening act for the show and if you didn’t know or like her before Monday, I’m pretty sure you just added her to your ipod by now…Counting Crows was good, yes, just good. Not my exact style of music, but I did seem to enjoy it, but was filled with laughter once i noticed that I was surrounded by people who just danced as if they were taken away by something and had no care in the world…ODD, very odd!

But again, Maroon 5 took it all and definetly is being the backbone of this tour! I was in shock that I knew so many more songs than the regular few and then it just made me think that this is a band that goes under the radar sometimes, but they just produce hit after hit!!! Performing about an hour and a half, fans were singing, dancing, cheering, and just loving every minute of these guys and wanted them to keep going. After they performed, more than a handful of people exited the place because that was a great note to end on. You could of stayed another 2 hours, but I promise you, you didn’t miss much! Overall a great concert, and I WILL go and see Maroon 5 again!





Fantasy Draft

24 07 2008

Another year has went by and it’s time for the best fantasy draft of all sports…The NFL!!! We got the whole gang back this year and are ready to see who will take home the pot this year! We all got together and drafted last night around 7ish and of course I get the number 4 pick…The middle picks are always the iffy ones because you don’t get the best or the worst, you just take what’s there and pray to the football God’s that your players perform above expectation and run away with it all! Through all the books and rankings and studying time it comes down to the draft! 1st pick overall…none other than LT, then Peterson, then Brady (Yes QB w/the 3rd hole), now my turn…I select none other than the work horse himself Steven Jackson!St. Louis Rams

Then goes Romo, P. Manning, Palmer, Steve Smith, T.O. and Moss!!! First round complete and all the great qb’s are gone, then Brees goes and I knew only hope and prayers could help me out! All the way back down to my pick, I get J. Addai! He lasted a round and a half, and I jumped on that like my mom on a closeout sale:)! That’s right, I said I was going to try and runaway with it all this year!!! Next pick for me was a solid qb in Roethlisberger and a combo hookup with Santonio Holmes. Roy Williams and Plaxico Burress finish up my receiving core with the consistent Tony Gonzalez at TE. Julius Jones and Selvin Young are back up rb’s and Jeff Garcia as the other QB! Pat’s defense and Robbie Gould conclude my roster and now, I just wait…And pray!!! The EXCITEMENT begins.
