Apparently I haven't blogged in a while.
Haven't updated in a while. Just been busy I guess. Bloggin hasn't been on the forefront of things to do.

It's been an interesting last couple of months.

1. My sister is expecting and is due in July. The forecast is calling for girl but I'm still hoping that maybe the forecast will be wrong like it sometimes is and we'll get a boy.

2. I got to see my friends Josh and Jesse a few weeks ago. They were in town from their whole "Peace Corp in Jamaica" thing. They weren't here for a good reason but nonetheless it was still good to see them. Hopefully they'll be back in the fall. They have been such great friends to me. I wish them well and I can't wait to see them again!

3. If you haven't joined twitter yet, do it! Follow me at "www.twitter.com/billyhammock" Twitter is pretty fun and addictive. You can add tweets via different phone apps on blackberries or iphones. If you don't have a smart phone device, you can add tweets via text messages. It's REALLY easy to setup. "BrightKite" is pretty cool too if you want to join that. It's also like twitter. Go to brightkite.com to set it up.

4. I had a birthday. I still don't feel like I'm getting older but apparently my age says I am. That sucks.

5. My car got hit in a hit and run. I can't get the police to give me a report because they don't do them anymore. Geico needs a police report to fix my car. I can't give them that. Guess who isn't getting their car fixed anytime soon? I hate the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department for screwing people over like that. I really appreciate it guys.

6. I'm tentatively scheduled to go Cabo San Lucas,Mexico with my dad at the end of the month. I've never had a reason to get a passport and now I do. Too bad it cost me $207 to get one expedited. Hopefully I get it in time. You pay to have it expedited and its still not guaranteed to get here.

7. Works ok. I guess. Nothing new really. Thats about it on that end.

8. I've kind of lost two friends. One got upset that he thought couldn't bring his estranged family to a get together at a another friends house. Which was never really the case. He just doesn't understand the whole "ask before you bring people over" thing. It's not a big deal. It's just common courtesy. Everyone else agreed. Of course we all got blamed for it. He's still welcome to whatever we do. There was never any ill will intended.

My other friend publicly humiliated me at work in front of at least 6 people when we were having a stupid disagreement. At that point, I said to myself, "I'm done". It was completely uncalled for. It sucks to throw away such a great friendship. I have given and tried so hard during it. But there was no reason to get yelled at the way I did. It was humiliating. And not just for me.

9. I joined a new gym. I kind of got tired of having to play the "find a machine" game at the Y. I also got tired of all the little kids and just the sheer busyness of it. So I joined Urban Active right next door. I get a cheaper rate thanks to work and its more grown up. I like the dark room that plays a new movie everyday on a projector screen while you work out. So far theres' only been one movie that made me say, "I'm not going in there today..." The movie?? "Are We Done Yet?" Starring Ice Cube.

10. I got to go see AC/DC last month. It was pure awesomeness. Definitely my favorite rock band of all time.

11. I've decided not to go to Bonnaroo this year. There's just not enough bands this year that peak my interest. There are lots of big name people that I'm sure will put on great shows, but it will probably be like Pearl Jam last year. I've heard of them, know a grand total of about 3 songs, and am bored for 80 percent of the show. I'm not a Springsteen fan and I'm definitely NOT a Phish fan. I don't like jam bands. Period. Hopefully I'll go back next year.

12. I haven't bought any new dvds in a long time. Thats extremely weird for me. It's not that I've grown out of buying movies. I guess there just hasn't been anything out that I had to buy.

13. For the most part I'm really liking the current tv season....
Chuck- Please resolve the Chuck/Sarah storyline soon. I'm actually getting REALLY bored with the whole will they/won't they thing. 3-4 seasons worked ok for Pam and Jim, but not Chuck and Sarah.

Heroes-This show is a trainwreck that we members of the so called "Geekdom" can't look away from. Each season is a new direction. Its annoying. One week the show gets good. The next week, the show becomes stupid. It flip flops like this. It's annoying. If they were smart, they would end all 20 different storylines and have them work together as a group like X-Men or something. I don't care about the Bennetts anymore. I don't care about Matt Parkman and his quest to find Daphne. I don't care about the Petrellis except for Peter. I'm tired of Mohinder and his once a year predictable "I'm going to help the bad guys" plotline. I think the only storyline that I even really care about is Sylar. They know we'll all keep watching but really, your show is stinking up the joint.

24- Jack Bauer is the man. I love that show

LOST- Awesome. Just great.

The Office and 30 Rock- Still the two funniest shows on tv.

Smallville- I like how they're trying to comic book it up. As long as its on, I'll keep watching it.

Grey's Anatomy- Good. I'm ready for them to resolve the Izzie story for good. Overall, its a lot better than last year.

BSG-I'm really going to miss this show in a few weeks once it airs its series finale. I love that its a scifi show yet its more drama than it is sci-fi. People won't watch because its considered sci-fi, yet when you can get someone to watch it, they realize that it's so much more.

Fringe- Really great show in it's first season. I'm really excited to see where it goes.

Thats about it for now. If I think of anything else, I'll blog it.

I moved my blog

Apparently I haven't blogged in a while.

What's Sneaky Billy up to right now???
