I went with Maura (and met Johnny there) to see Ben Folds in concert last night here at good ole Geneseo. He was supposed to play with Rufus Wainright but Rufus cancelled at the last minute saying he had bronchitis. That kinda sucked b/c I really like his music and have actually heard his stuff.

I didn't know how much I would enjoy the concert but I ended up loving it b/c he is an INCREDIBLE piano player. I mean awesome.

I gotta go meet Pat for lunch now (well if he remembers) so I'll write more later.

Some of us believe in free will. Everyone has their beliefs about what happens to them in their life. But we only learn half of the time and regret the other half."
These aren't my words, but I read them in a livejournal I frequent and thought it was a good way o...
