to texas, south carolina and back to NC .......... my travels

Ok so i went to houston to do a couple of silver ring thing shows. the flight out there went pretty well, i was at the airport at 450am and got to bed that night at like 1am which was 2am NC time, so it was a long first day, which felt like two days. the silver ring thing shows were great. lots of fun and i got to see some old faces and meet a few new ones. its always a little wierd though when you go somewhere and people you dont know are like "i hear you are so funny that i'm going to pee my pants..." i'm like uhhh...."i'm not that funny (no preasure)." but they did end up peeing thier pants i guess i am that funny, or they just have a weak bladder.
ok so that was on a wed and thur. on friday morning a flew home to NC got back at like 6pm and the next morning at 7am me and bekah were heading for myrtle beach, SC. we had never been there before and we were only going for one night and driving back on sunday. it was really fun but cold.(it had been in the 70's the day before we got there and then in the 50's and 40's while we were there) we ate at some whole in the wall place by some waterfront area for lunch, good food, fish caught that morning. and for dinner we went to cheeseburger in paradise, where i actually met a server named todd who i used to work with at cracker barrel in PA (what are the odds) we also went to the ripley's aquarium while we were there and it was sweet.

so that was about it, i would put up some pics, but my camera crapped out and isn't working (anyone ever get an E18 message on a canon power shot camera??)

why i hate the radio..

ok so the radio is always on when i'm at work at cracker barrel. i can deal with hearing the same songs in rotation every 45 minuetes, which adds up to me hearing the same crappy songs 12 times a shift. and i can deal with lame morning talk shows that are on when i open at 530am, but this i cant handle...thursday morning...they always do a recap on the tv show "lost" (me and bekah watch this show every week and it is quite addictive) so last week was a re-run of lost..or so i thought..the morning show was talking about how it was a re-run the night before and how the abc website and previews said it was going to be a re-run, but right after the re-run they did a surprise new episode. not only that but the surprise episode had tons of plot developing things happen including two main people on the show (jack and eko) getting killed off. i couldn't believe it...i missed it! it ruined my morning, people were calling in saying how they were so mad that they missed the surprise episode. me and a couple of co-workers who watch "lost" also were devistated...and then about three hours later, they announce it was a prank, no surprise episode, just a prank...this i cannot handle from the radio!
