January 2008- I've been meaning to post this for a long time: If you have Google Earth, type in these coordinates: 50 0' 38.20 N, 110 6'48.32 W
It's just over the Canadian border above Montana. I'll let it be a surprise, but it's cool and worth checking out.
I attended a two day/ten hour instructor seminar at my school. Good times.
February 2008- I was sick on my birthday. I still had fun though.
I helped with a women's self-defense class. Kind of weird to have to push
women I didn't even know up against the wall and choke them...
Started a painting. This time with oils. It takes so long to dry,
but I love this. I put on my iPod and zone out.
Got my Radiohead ticket.
I realized I had only 3% of my hard drive available after years of Photoshop projects and animations and stuff,
so I've had to transfer files to a 500 Gig external hard drive.
I now no longer have any hand in the Providence Cafe website, so if it doesn't look as cool, you know why.
I finally rode the Lynx light rail line. It was pretty cool actually. My old pal Lisa from back in the day came to visit and rode it with me.
March 2008- I got to go skiing this year! Wendi joined me, and we had a blast on Sugar Mountain.
At first I was a bit cautious, what with the knee surgery last year, but by the end of the day I was back again, zipping down the slopes.
The painting is looking really good; I just wish I had more time for it. And there's a definite learning curve with the oils. A lot of what I've been doing is experimental stuff
(even mixing salt with the paint to make the sand look more real). It should be done by the end of April, and I'll post a picture here (does anyone even read these monthly updates??)
The thing is though, all the time spent hunched over painting the canvas has kept me from working out and stretching. I now see that between paintings, I'll have to work hard to get back into shape.
I was able to see Barack Obama speak. I couldn't stay for the Q&A afterward though. He's an awesome speaker, and it left me strongly looking at my life and what I'm doing to make this a better world.
I had just written out my life's mission statement two days before, so it was good timing.
Then, two days later, I JUST missed meeting Bill Clinton by about 40 seconds! That bothered me all day and into the night.
April 2008- I did far better this year tax wise than in years past.
I mean, I actually got a check in the mail! That hasn't happened in many years. True, it was only a check for
ten dollars, but it was a check mailed to me nonetheless.
Attended a "close quarters combat" seminar.
Went to see the band Ministry, as they are retiring. I admit, I mostly went to get my mosh pit fix. I was sore for three days. :)
I was introduced to a new person at work as "This is Scott. He's almost 40, but he still hangs out in mosh pits." Damn straight.
And that painting... yeah... one day I hope to have time to finish it.
May 2008- I went to see Radiohead. I didn't anticipate half of Charlotte
to be attending, so I didn't leave until around 7 something (was waiting for my friend Lisa to get off work [different Lisa], had to eat, didn't care about the opening band, etc).
We were in concert traffic for OVER AN HOUR trying to get in. When we walked through the gate, I made a mental note of the song, and later, at home, found the set list online.
We walked in during the middle of the 4th song! BUT... through the magic of modern technology, I was able to see those songs (as well as the ones I saw in person)
on Youtube. If you're curious, just type "Radiohead Charlotte" into the search field, and there you are.
I can assure you I will not be late to see The Cure next month.
I made the logo for my buddy Shannon's new catering company.
June 2008- I wasn't late seeing The Cure (my third time).
I was able to get up to the stage! 
They played for three hours. I recorded some of it with my friend Crystal's Palm Pilot (which in a way redeems her brother Dave [sort of] for
handing me an empty camera many years ago when I went backstage to meet Duran Duran). This concert was a bit different from others I've seen in two ways:
They didn't play "A Forest", and even stranger - they didn't have any keyboards! The keyboard parts were played by guitar, which didn't sound bad, just - different.
This concert can be found on Youtube as well. I saw the back of my head in one of the posts!
I got another awesome massage from Tammy and I saw William's play (that he got "well-muscled" for). Went to see my buddy Keith's grappling tournamnet. He won a medal, the big belt, and $500 cash, among other things.
I had a bit of down time between jobs, so I read the book "Eat Pray Love". Admittedly kind of a chick book, but you know me -
I'm a butch lesbian in a man's body. 
And, since this is June, I've been going to Pops In The Park. And I've already gotten some swim time in this summer.
I advanced another belt rank in Jiu Jitsu.
R.I.P. Stan Winston and George Carlin.
July 2008- The 4th of July I went to Shannon's neighborhood bbq party. No thumb burn for me this year from lighting fireworks.
I did some grip work on a CPI commercial for a week. Always cool to see all the behind the scenes happenings that go into making something like that.
I got to go horseback riding, thanks to Ashley. It had been a long time. After that we played some of her videogames and then sparred and grappled out in the yard in the rain. Good times.
My girl Ashley (a different Ashley - I know 3 of them!) had a milestone birthday. She's my adopted sister.
I went to Atlanta for Bryan's birthday, to see Rush, and to meet some friends in the city.
PJ went with me. It was my 7th time seeing Rush, Bryan's 13th, and PJ's 16th.
As we drove to the show, it was raining with hurricane proportions. Lots of lightning, signs down,
traffic lights out, etc. None of us even commented that it would stop us from seeing the show (we had lawn tickets).
As soon as we parked, the rain stopped! The show was awesome! In fact, Rush is the dictionary definition of the word awesome.
As we were walking out, still euphoric from the show, some random guy leaned into us and said "Geddy Lee sounds like a queer!"
After some debate amongst the three of us, we decided he's in his own personal hell already, and we let him live.
I've been going to yoga classes whenever my schedule permits (which unfortunately isn't often).
There's a heater in each corner of the room, and after an hour and a half, I'm dripping with sweat.
It's been excellent for increasing my flexibility and balance.
Sadly, a good friend of mine - Skip - passed away. His death and funeral service have had me really rethinking my life and it's trajectory.
I'm deeply saddened and will miss him much.
August 2008- I was a zombie (one of about 15) in a short
film my buddy Chris made (way out in Troy N.C.) for a George Romero contest (photos to be posted soon). Thanks Ashley (also a zombie) for joining me and keeping me company
and being my drinking buddy while we waited.

I did some grip work on a CPI commercial for a week. Always cool to see all the behind the scenes happenings that go into making something like that.
I got to go horseback riding, thanks to Ashley. It had been a long time. After that we played some of her videogames and then sparred and grappled out in the yard in the rain. Good times.
My girl Ashley (a different Ashley - I know 3 of them!) had a milestone birthday. She's my adopted sister.
I went to Atlanta for Bryan's birthday, to see Rush, and to meet some friends in the city.
PJ went with me. It was my 7th time seeing Rush, Bryan's 13th, and PJ's 16th.
As we drove to the show, it was raining with hurricane proportions. Lots of lightning, signs down,
traffic lights out, etc. None of us even commented that it would stop us from seeing the show (we had lawn tickets).
As soon as we parked, the rain stopped! The show was awesome! In fact, Rush is the dictionary definition of the word awesome.
As we were walking out, still euphoric from the show, some random guy leaned into us and said "Geddy Lee sounds like a queer!"
After some debate amongst the three of us, we decided he's in his own personal hell already, and we let him live.
I've been going to yoga classes whenever my schedule permits (which unfortunately isn't often).
There's a heater in each corner of the room, and after an hour and a half, I'm dripping with sweat.
It's been excellent for increasing my flexibility and balance.
Sadly, a good friend of mine - Skip - passed away. His death and funeral service have had me really rethinking my life and it's trajectory.
I'm deeply saddened and will miss him much.
August 2008- I was a zombie (one of about 15) in a short
film my buddy Chris made (way out in Troy N.C.) for a George Romero contest (photos to be posted soon). Thanks Ashley (also a zombie) for joining me and keeping me company
and being my drinking buddy while we waited.

I made the logo for my buddy Shannon's new catering company.
June 2008- I wasn't late seeing The Cure (my third time).
I was able to get up to the stage!
They played for three hours. I recorded some of it with my friend Crystal's Palm Pilot (which in a way redeems her brother Dave [sort of] for
handing me an empty camera many years ago when I went backstage to meet Duran Duran). This concert was a bit different from others I've seen in two ways:
They didn't play "A Forest", and even stranger - they didn't have any keyboards! The keyboard parts were played by guitar, which didn't sound bad, just - different.
This concert can be found on Youtube as well. I saw the back of my head in one of the posts!
I got another awesome massage from Tammy and I saw William's play (that he got "well-muscled" for). Went to see my buddy Keith's grappling tournamnet. He won a medal, the big belt, and $500 cash, among other things.
I had a bit of down time between jobs, so I read the book "Eat Pray Love". Admittedly kind of a chick book, but you know me -
I'm a butch lesbian in a man's body.
And, since this is June, I've been going to Pops In The Park. And I've already gotten some swim time in this summer.
I advanced another belt rank in Jiu Jitsu.
