Phish Update No One Cares About But Me
Teresa and I have persevered on the shitty Live Nation site and gotten two tickets to both nights at Jones Beach and two tickets to Camden. THANK GOD!
I have been shut out in every possible way from getting Phish tickets. I’m so heartbroken.
Surely someone’s gotta know some guy, somewhere, who’s got something, right?

From February 6 - May 18th I will be particpating in a 200 hour yoga teacher training certification program. I’ll be “in class” for ten hours every weekend during that time, as well as completing other projects, meetings, readings and assignments during the week. I’ll also be doing a lot of yoga.
In an attempt to chronicle my experiences, I’ll be keeping a blog (of...
WatchI just started doing some on-camera video stuff for work. We shot this on Wednesday for a couple of hours and it was balls cold and I was sick, but this is like pretty much the best shit to get to do for a job. I’d happily go out and do this every day. So yeah, it was cool.

What do you do when you're sick?
jdel:
Everyone has their sick-day traditions. Some watch Price Is Right, some drink herbal teas, and some just put on their favorite pajamas and go to bed.
Me…I pile on the blankets, eat brown sugar oatmeal, and watch PBS. Hoping that works out tonight.
Tonight I ate spicy vegetable udon (opened up my clogged sinuses for a minute), but normally I make pastine, which is what my mom did when...

Teresa and I did three weeks of Phish summer tour in 1999. I turned 20 years old in Camden, NJ, totaled my car, got a speeding ticket in Virginia, slept on the side of the road, and basically had the best summer of my life. I hope it will be just as awesome 10 years later.

My one resolution for 2009
To stop fearing failure.
That’s it.
Easy, right?
Just making sure
Everyone thought that it was kinda annoying and sappy and shitty that Benjamin Button was set during Hurricane Katrina, right? Like, the message of death and time and life was heavy-handed enough without tying in the worst natural disaster the US has recently seen?
I’m going to become a yoga teacher (if you know, I pass the final exam).
I’m really excited.

Cool article in the NY Times about teachers using humor to lighten up yoga classes. Yay for comedy and yoga becoming one.
