mumford and sons concert...

This past Thursday I attended the Mumford and Sons concert in my new neck of the woods...Maryland.  Why they came to this small town in MD, I have no idea, but I'll be the last one to complain.  Before the concert even started, it was a memorable one.

As soon as we started walking to the venue, I start feeling raindrops on my shoulder, not good.  But no worries, we are just steps away from the gates.  Hold up though, no camera's with removable lenses are allowed says the idiots with light blue shirts on that say "Staff" on the back.  My response is "are you serious?" as I look up at the dark gray clouds, only to be told "yes, you have to take it back to the car".  Awesome, thanks guys!  So I proceed to walk/run back to my car, I only say walk because I'm way too out of shape for this.  It's safe to say I got soaked, head to toe.  As history tells us, rain+concerts usually make for memorable moments, which it did.  There were two opening acts, which I've never heard of before, so I decided to go to the bathroom before Mumford hits the stage.  As soon as I turn the corner to the men's bathroom, I encounter a bunch of women in the line.  No, this was not a unisex bathroom, but it sure was turned into one.  Two lines, one for the men and the urinals, and one for the women and the stalls.  Needless to say this was classic, you can't make this stuff up!  People were even barefoot, and no that's not rain water your stepping in.  Drunk guys don't have the best aim...I'm just saying.

Now onto the concert.  I haven't been to many concerts, but I can tell you, this will by far be one of the best concerts I have or will ever see.  I've never seen a band get so involved in their music and feed off of the crowd.   We stood the whole time, well at least one of us did.  I'm used to being on my feet all day, so nothing new to me.  From beginning to end, Mumford and Sons kept us on our feet and graced us with some new music and played the hell out of the every instrument that was brought onto the stage.  Every band member played at least 3 instruments each, if not more, that's true musicianship if you ask me! If you can't open your minds and respect that, then I feel bad for you...

new buy...

Bottle cap coasters.  These coasters are made from bottle caps found in Africa.  Saw them in a shop down in downtown Lancaster and had to buy them, pretty dope buy to spice up a coffee table.

a beautiful little girl...

An awesome sister and a pretty cool dude...ingredients to a recipe of a beautiful little girl.  Mix those together with a pinch of love and bake in the oven for 9 months and the final product is you Nora Maise.  An Irish family giving birth to an Irish child on March 17th, a date known to many as St. Patty's day.  A day normally used to celebrate ours/yours Irish heritage over a pint of Guinness and a shot of Jameson.  The toasts will be replaced to give thanks to my beautiful niece Nora and for her gracing us with her presence on this other wise hectic earth.  The beauty of birth is that no matter what is going on with your life and the lives around you, no matter how bad you think it is, a child can make you forget about any problems you think you might have.  Yea all she does is sleep and cry but in time that shall pass.  She'll start to crawl and speak gibberish, then she'll learn to walk and count to 10.  She'll start going to school and get good grades, maybe play a sport or too.  She'll graduate and go to college, and meet her future husband at an 80's party and get married years down the road.  She will grow up to be the best little girl she can be and even a greater woman. Then its time for her to have a beautiful little girl herself, and the cycle continues way past our years of life, and we will never get to see the final product and future generations, but we will know they will be alright as long as love is flowing through their veins as they do my families.  Nora you are truly a blessing to the Yost and Powers family, and I can speak for myself, that you make it all better for me.  I have the most beautiful family a guy could ask for, and for those of you who know me, they are the most important aspect of my life. LOVE YOUR FAMILY, FOR THEY WERE THERE AT THE BEGINNING, AND THEY WILL BE THERE AT THE END...

2 Years Ago...

2 years ago, our family was blessed with an angel disguised as a little baby girl, and we called her Olivia Rose.  The last 2 years have been a roller coaster ride between an uncle and his niece.  One day she would love me the next she wouldn't, man that wasn't fun.  She has finally come around to love me after all this time, unless grandma is around, then nobody else in the world exists but her.  That's ok though, everybody loves grandma!  I cannot wait to watch you grow to become a beautiful young woman and become your own individual in this world.  I also can't wait to interview all of your future boyfriends in order to make sure they are good enough to date my niece, haha just kidding, but no really.  Watching you grow up for the past 2 years have been awesome, and I look forward to watching you grow to become an even bigger Diva than you already are...TIO ERIC LOVES YOU!

New and Old...

Bought an unfinished end table, played around with it and had some fun...and this is what came from it...
