These Hybrid Moments

My name is Bobby, I'm 25, a History graduate from VCU, and I'm awesome.

It’s after midnight so it is technically Wednesday and I got a hair cut today.

Travel Bug

My impending trip to New Orleans for an old bosses wedding has sort of stirred my old travel bug. I’ve never been to New Orleans, although I kind of have a love/hate thing going on with people in the Gulf area because of my job. I am kind of exciting about exploring the storied city, but I hope anything having to do with my work escapes all conversation. Now that I’m traveling there, I want to (re)visit other cities.

I haven’t been to New York City since 2005, and even then I didn’t see one tourist attraction. I never went into Manhattan, actually. I kind of want to go just to see The Book of Mormon. I’ve never seen a musical, much less a Broadway performance.

It just dawned on me that in 2005 I went to Iceland twice, Ireland for over a month in the summer, and New York for my first time. I have managed to wander down to the Outer Banks a handful of times since then, and naught else. For shame. I will travel more. I think i’ve only managed to make it to DC twice in the last six years… Fixing it.

Cold War Kids

—Hang Me Up to Dry

“Hang Me Up To Dry” - Cold War Kids off Robbers & Cowards

Song was stuck in my head all day.

Call me old fashioned but no phone call is “chat away while pooping at work” important. Especially in French. I hope they like flushing noises.

This bean pole of a Dutchman writes such mellow sexy folk jams.
