DNC and Me

Cam and I walked around the city taking in the sights and sounds of the Democratic National Convention. It is great to see such a historic even happening in my backyard. I have seen protesters marching and people begging for you to take their flyers for whatever they think is the most harmful thing to the world. Lots of funny little signs all over the place. I especially like when they say something is an Obama-nation. And apparently we were on TV for a split second. I'm a star!!!! Below are some pictures from the day. Enjoy.

Im terrible at this.

Just talked to Brother Xmastime, a leader in the blogging industry and he was disappointed in my blogging. He demands more from me because one day when he dies (think latest Vegas odds have him tapping out early 2010) someone has to carry on his legacy. That being said I will try to do a lot better with this whole blog thing. I have just been super swamped recently**.

There will be some backtracking to recreate the special moments I have had in Denver thus far. I know you all love reading this blog and I owe it to you**.

So stay tuned peeps. The Wilson Boys are teaming together for some DNC Convention Action that should be good. All you Ms. Wilsons from Virginia don't worry you will see me soon**.

Later.

Things I have done in the last 48 hours that are in the Stuff White People Like book

1. Drank Tea
2. Used my iPod
3. Eaten sushi
4. Recycled
5. Stood still at a concert
6. Wore New Balance shoes
7. Watched The Simpsons


I scored a 75% on "How White Are You Test" which I was actually surprised I was that low. Of course not being a hipster basically automatically deducts points.

Humidity

I actually miss humidity. I know that sounds crazy. But dry heat has nothing. Its just direct heat. Humidity has a feel, a smell to it. Other night we had a touch of humidity, and it was great. Really reminds me of all the good times growing up. You know those days, you are outside all day not even thinking of drinking water and it's like nothing to you. I drink more water in 1 day now than I i did in a month as a kid. I guess humidity is like that friend you always made fun of and acted like you didn't like but then you realize that ya'll actually were really good friends.

Mile High Music Festival

This weekend I went to the 1st annual Mile High Music Festival here in Denver. It was awesome. I meet up with some peeps from Randolph Macon so that made it even better. 12 hours of nonstop music in the blistering hot sun made for a long day but it was still amazing. Tom Petty and the Hearbreakers put on a great show, but that can be expected from a group that has been doing this for so long. There were some great bands playing and people watching never got old. Pretty cool to be apart of the first one too. It was help at Dick's Sporting Goods Sports Complex which is huge and made for a great venue for the 5 stages. What also was neat was seeing the banners my company created for the festival. It was just last week that they came to us with some CDs and printouts and I had no idea what they wanted but seeing all the work up made a lot of sense.

Then today I bought a really nice tennis racket and Cam and I went to Washington Park played for like 2 hours. Love it.

I also bought the Stuff White People Like Book, in which I got a 75% on the how white are you test. Little disappointment.

All and all another great weekend in the Rockies.

BIRFDAY BEATDOWN!

36 years ago today, my brother was born.

1 year ago today we were celebrating his 35th birthday hand and hand as he could not stop giggling at the fact I secretly flew in to see him.

That makes up for the fact that it wasn't until 2 minutes ago I texted him his birthday wishes.

Right?

Happy Birthday Greg.

Room

I've come to realize that I operate a lot better once my room is situated. Moving from room to room in college, I always had to get the room together very quickly. That was a lot easier back then when you could buy your bedding in a bag and furniture was free and usually came with the room. I finally have my room the way I want it. It's much better than my first night here when all i had was a bed and blanket. The only other thing in my room was the trash from the bed. Pops is gonna send me some wildlife photos (shout out to Pops here) and Sistatime is gonna help when she gets out here. But as for now I like the layout.

Next up I think I am going to find a way to make my private balcony a cool place to hang out.

Tough life.
