School is starting. Less time for searching for music.

The more classes I take per semester, the quicker I can be finally done with this damn BA degree. The Electronic Media emphasis has been fun so far, and looks to be another fun semester. My last Math class, Statistics, will be completed after 10 years since I graduated high school. Anyhow, I am taking a big load (of classes) this time around and I'm actually not too scared. I have two online Business classes along with my Stats and other Communications courses. Video Production promises to be the most fun from what it seems. Only one thing to decide; do I go into Audio Production or Video Production within my emphasis of Electronic Media? How much does that matter? In other, non-music news, my 3-year-old son Rhett had another seizure about a week ago. He's medicated to prevent seizures. A couple of days after the seizure we discovered there was an error between the Neurologists office and the Pharmacy. We were supposed to be giving him a larger dose. Did this cause his second seizure? Time for a little bruhaha with the Pharmacy and the Neurologist to find who is at fault and what we can do about it. We ended up giving Rhett his emergency medicine (basically Valium) that stops his seizure, but he was still loopy and mostly non-coherent. My wife called his Doctor's office and they said to take him to the ER. Does this mean we can have either Walmart or Rhett's Neurologist pay for this ER visit. We do have insurance, which will hopefully bring the bill down to 100 from almost 700, but shouldn't the people who made the mistake pay for this debacle? Well, that's about all for the life ramblings outside the realm of my passion for music; onto the music news. I saw John Prine for the second time and he was fantastic. He has so much fun on stage and has that old dude chuckle to him that is pretty cool. If I can be doing something that I love for as many years as he has I will surely die a happy man. Headed to The Avett Brothers show on Friday and I'm pretty stoked for that. I've heard they're really good live. Other than that, new Old 97's, Guster, and Ben Folds all have new albums coming out soon so I look forward to those. That is all. Night Night all.

Ramblings of a sane man.

I thought I'd post on my thoughts about life in general. This post will mostly be about things other than music, but music is very important to me, so I'll get back to posting about new bands I've found soon enough. School is starting after my summer off. It's been a nice enough summer but we haven't gotten out camping like I wanted. Anyway, Rhett is still getting cuter everyday. He's 3 now and has fun and makes fun wherever he goes/whatever he does. Lots of good concerts coming up: The Avett Brothers, John Prine, fun.. Also new albums from Ben Folds, Guster, and Old 97's. Great stuff coming up music wise. Other than that, things are going great. I'm not stressed at all, but school is starting soon so I'm sure that will change. That's all for now; check back for music posts soon to come. If anyone has suggestions for me, please comment here or send them to comptamos@gmail.com, and keep reading. I wanna get a podcast up with a bunch of music too, so if anyone knows how to get that going, please let me know.
