your post sent my mind wandering. i thought how lucky i am not to have made enemies. then i thought how awesome it would be to have an arch nemisis. then what it would be like to be a super hero...a barista super hero...The Baristador! saving the world from Buxatron and his gang of bitter and burnt henchmen. man, i need to get out more..and to write a comic book....and buy a cape.
this saturday night! i must say, i can't wait. can we do whatever your doing?

Kylie, didn't see that one coming. What about sigur ros? I would guess you would dig them. Don't remember who told me, someone at the show, but you got some pretty good ones in there, and a few I should check out. Someone on here introduced me to Dear and the Headlights, and it's pretty good if you like that Death Cab kinda sound.

Besides the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, what else you listening to these days. Heard you have some great taste in music...
There are a lot of things to be said about second place.
Second place is first loser.
Second is the best.
Okay, I ran out of stuff about second place, but then I googled it and found this blog http://therealthing.blogs.com/
Which promptly reminded me of this http://www.prevent-it.ca/see-it-tv-spots
So the moral of this story is, let's start a second place/THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS! club. Yes? Okay. Great. You can be president.
Congratulations Ben! Really nice throws on Saturday night. Next time I'm in atlanta can I rub that LV tamper for good luck?

Hey you! Congrats on the win! Sorry I missed saying good-bye. Perhaps I'll see you in Minneapolis.

Hey, thanks for the addition, money man. Congratulations on snatching the victory. Let me know if you are every up this way, anywhere in Eastern Pennsylvania is my territory. Better yet come to the jam in Easton.

Buddy!!!!!
Yeah I was super bummed I didn't get to say goodbye.
Come to Toronto and bro down. Now.
I was awarded my 5 canadian dollars from the throw down, which I used to buy a beer last night, which is the reason why I'm in bed right now at 5 pm with the greatest hangover of all time.
