The Beginning of the Blog

As usual, I am the perpetual insomniac. I guess about 5 hours of sleep is good, but waking up before 3 AM isn't all that fun. The only reason I slept at all was the sedatives that I take. The doctor that prescribes these medications said that all these drugs would knock out a baby elephant!

Anyway, the sun is about to come up now, and it's raining outside. It's about 40 degrees F out there, so it's a chilly rain... cold rain being my least favorite weather condition. The weather pattern is in the process of changing to a much colder one for the eastern part of the United States. Louisville, Kentucky, my hometown and where I live now experienced a 70 degree F record high temperature just last Tuesday. We may see that again in March, I suppose.

Anyway, a cousin recommended a cd to me a few weeks back, so I bought it. The name of the group is Angels & Airwaves. The cd is titled "I-Empire" and I enjoyed every song on the album. It's rock music, but very pop-sounding with electronica effects. I guess it might be classified as "adult-alternative," but, all in all, it's just a very pleasing sonic delivery. More later...

Rick- Welcome to the world of Blogs! Excellent! I've bookmarked your blog.
I can relate about the weather- since Oct. 24th, it's rained here in Maryland about every 3 days- the dogs' muddy paws are testament to that.
You should include in your profile that you're an incredibly caring, communicative guy, who appreciates the small blessings life brings. If people are fortunate enough to befriend you, they've met a Heavenly being on Earth.
Hope you stay warm this week as the freeze moves in- it'll be frosty (okay near normal) here in Maryland this week!
Your big bro, Buzz
