Broken Social Scene

I am really digging me some Broken Social Scene lately...They have such an epic sound to me. They Kind of recreate everything I love about 90's indie rock but take it to a new level.

Father's day...

...Is not all fun and games honoring dad's and how great they are. Take for example my effort to get Eva into bed tonight. Resulted in a complete and total melt down, she is still at it up in her room now screaming "DAAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAY!" I gave her a 5 minute and a 2 minute warning, then I asked her to put her toys down and come brush her teeth. She said "just a minute," I waited 10 seconds, "Eva put the magic markers down and come brush you teeth," E:"But wait Daddy, I just want to finish this." Me: "Eva if you don't come to brush you teeth now I am not going to read you your bed time story tonight." E: "Ok Daddy, but I just need to do this one last thing, I am almost done." Me: "Alright Eva, no bed time stories and you still have to come brush you teeth NOW!" E: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" (x 25).

Happy father's day.

I am leaving in 20 minutes to go to my lawyer's office to sign my divorce settlement. I didn't think it was going to be hard to do this. I thought I would feel a huge sense of relief when this legal bickering was over. I envisioned my self gleefully skipping to the lawyer's office with an ear to ear grin. As the moment draws closer I think that scene is unlikely to occur.

The ex picked up the kids from my house this morning, told me that she approved the settlement and all we had to do was sign it, then she started to cry and asked me to hug her. She said that she was sad cause this meant the end of that chapter of our lives. What! The! Fuck? I was flooded with emotions of anger and sadness. It was she who started all of this in the first place, it was she who broke my heart and said all those terrible things about me.

So I am headed out now. Confused, and walking slowly to the lawyers office with some old Pavement songs stuck in my head trying not to reminisce about the time in college, sitting on the front step to her apartment in our shared dormitory, that I discovered my ex also loved Pavement and we then and there made plans to go and see the band perform in Raleigh three months later.

New Music

First Listen of Bon Iver's new album. Like the first album it is a beautiful set of songs. It has a different feel/sound than the first album, I am really digging it.

sunset

One of the most wonderful things about life, in my opinion, is that no matter where you go in the world, unless its too cloudy, you can always see a beautiful sunset. [Editors note: sunrises are also typically beautiful, but usually far too early to be enjoyed/observed]

I find this to be hilarious.
