And as a completely unrelated thought, many have asked why Video Blog #2 took so long to arrive on Tuesday. The answer is simple. I am getting old. Sorry, I am. I locked my keys in my house. Which meant I could not get into my car and go anywhere, nor could I get back in the house and accomplish anything. It is about the 5th occurrence in the “congratulations, you are now old” realization.

Occurrence #1. The bands I listened to in High School are now spun on classic rock radio stations. I am sorry Pearl Jam, you are now classic rock. Congratulations. I am thankful Green Day reinvented themselves because it at least gives me something to cling to. I am still holding out for a Smalltown Poets or Something Corporate reunion. However, I remain very doubtful.

Occurrence #2. The athletes I grew up watching and pretending to be, are now in the hall of fame. Thank you Ricky Henderson.

Occurrence #3. The bands I listened to in college are releasing “10 year anniversary” albums and then touring behind them. Thank you Jimmy Eat World and New Found Glory. Which as a sub-note, are those bands officially out of new ideas or have they found a new way to overtly fulfill record contract obligations. See, in the old days, when artists were done with music and yet still owed the label an album or two, the label would put out a greatest hits or live Cd to at least get something. IE-Falling Up, Stellar Kart, Jennifer Knapp, Fall Out Boy…basically anyone who you would pick up off the shelf and ask yourself “Hum….they have only put out 3 albums, how could a greatest hits album be next” would fall here. Which is a great transition into..

Occurrence #4. Band who have less songs on the radio than I have arms, putting out greatest hits albums.

and finally…

Occurrence #5. Locking my keys in my house on the only day my wife could not leave work because her VP was in town all the while it decided to snow in Nashville for the hour and a half I waited outside for the locksmith to come and let me in. (Forget run-on, that sentence was a marathon) Needless to say, that is a mistake I will never try to make again. Especially, because I had no idea I was capable of making it in the first place.

So in conclusion…enjoy the ticket photo, have a great Friday and a safe weekend. I’ll see you on Tuesday as next week I dive into the top 5 struggles I faced and now currently help my clients through in terms of weight loss. See you then.
