Finally this week we get to some new shows. The first one on my list is Prison Break on FOX. The first two seasons see the stars trying to break out of prison and then on the run. Then in season 3 they were sent to another foreign prison which of course they escape. I do not know about you but season 3 did not have the same stuff 1 and 2 had. But after the first episode of season 4 i am back to this show.

Ok first, i am kind of disappinted they brought Sarah back. She was dead in the script but i also know why they brought her back, Micheal needed something to fight for. I also like the new scenario. They have gto break into the company and end of all this. I reallyu like this news setup and can not wait for what happends next week.

At the end of this month is a movie about relationships and marriage. That movie is “Fireproof”. With the divorce rate so high in this country i think this movie is needed. I know most divorces could have been prevented with some guidance and coming together to get through it. So many couples just give up on each other. Just in life we go through good and bad, and your marriage will have good and bad times.

I can not wait to see this movie as i am about to embark on the next stage of my life in marriage. Take a night as a couple and strengthen your bond as i assure this movie will do

As September approaches it menas one thing, Fall TV. I watch many shows but 1 stands out above the rest, the Office. Its a comedy show where every cast member character could be its own show. I which every week was an hour so we could learn about more of the characters. Especially Creed, i which there was a Creed in my office to spice things up.

The office returns Sept 25 on NBC. Season 4 left off with Andy proposing to Angela and then Angela getting it on with Dwight. I really feel Season 4 could have been soo much more without the writers strike but the next season should be great with hopefully the proposal of Jim and Pam and will Phyllis tell Andy? I am actually kind of glad they lengthen the love story of jim and Pam because it makes the show. But i do think they need to propose this season, maybe bring Rpy back to spice things up.

The summer has been brutal without my favorite show after the writer strike shorten last season

I found this band when i wanted to find some new music on Amazon. I pretty much look through all the CDs i currently like looking for the 5 star albums that have not made it big. Well most of them will be covered on here and the first one will be Faber Drive.

If you like fast paced music very much like Blink 182 then you will love this band. This band continues my theme of bands with great artwork. I have a iPhone so i love to see the artwork when i am going through my playlist.

Favorite Songs:

1. When I’m With You - Great love song, Top 10 all time alt love songs

2. Obvious

3. Summer Fades to Fall

Over the past few weeks i have kind of been addicted to personal fiance. Mainly because my finances were not in order. So i started a blog on personal finances to give ideas and tools to tackle money.

I really have come to understand that this country needs to teach financial education in high school. With the debt so high for many Americans no wonder in bad times everyone streses out, complains, and throws the blame card to whomever is in the White House.

Check out my new blog.

Another big topic i wanted to cover on this blog was the great TV shows i watch. Fall shows will be starting up during the next month and i will be writing posts on episodes and other fun facts

My favorite shows:

the Office

30 Rock

LOST

Heros

Prison Break

I look forward to great seasons from each of these

I found this CD by chance on iTunes. After about 5 months of having this CD i still find myself going back to it. It was a much better and more focused than their first CD. I like the first CD but it has nothing on this one. plus it gets 10 pts for the artwork. I love bands that take the time to make their hard work look cool.

Most bands who want to hit it big need something to set them apart. For this band its their lyrics. In most of the songs they are so creative and smart and they just make the songs that more interesting

My favorite Songs are Drunken Lament, Love Me Dead, Topeka, and Streetlights.

I can not wait to possibility to see this band live in October with other band i will post about in the future(Relient K). I was sad that i missed them when they were here for the Warped Tour.

Last weekend had the feeling of the last weekend of the summer. Kids going back to school, college football getting ready to start, and fall TV spamming advertisements. The summer just flies by these days. But it has been one of the best in the last few years.

Highlights

- Got engaged to the girl of my dreams, really just seems a lot of things in my life are just feeling good

- Concerts: Saw Jimmy Eat World, Paramore, Death Cab for Cutie, Treaty of Paris, Paper Route, Phantom Planet, and Jack’s Mannequin Live. Hopefully the fall/winter can be kind to me which bands are heading to my area. really want to see Relient K, Ludo, and Mayday Parade.

- Bowling - got back into one of my old pastimes and kept average above 180, now to shoot for over 190 average

This past weekend i went to the Darke County fair in Ohio. I have not been to a fair in a long time and it was refreshing to be outside in August with under 90 degree temps. This fair was pretty big for being just a county fair. And i found some cinnamon glazed almonds that i love. Another thing i enjoyed was seeing the outcomes of hundreds of people hard work over the past year with art, pictures, rabbits, and other livestock.

The first band featured in “what should have in your iPod” is Jack’s Mannequin. I had the pleasure to see them live in concert last week. All i can say is amazing!!! The CD was released a few years ago but the the second album was delayed due to the lead singer being diagnosed with leukemia. I think he is finally getting better, at least he was jumping off the grand piano many times.

This band is anchored by the lead singer/piano and he is very talented and makes their very unique sound. This a CD where it makes you want to tap your foot.

I was a big iTunes fan for many years, but lately i choose Amazon MP3 downloads. They have less section than iTunes, but the albums are around $1 cheaper and have no DMR securities.

Get It on Amazon

The new CD comes out this fall. I have heard 2 of the songs and it will be good

Favorite tracks: The Mixed Tape, Holiday from Real

Starting tomorrow i will be starting my weekly series “What you should have in your iPod”. Each week i will talk about a not commonly known CD or artist who in my opinion should be much better known.  Feel free to e-mail me suggestions for future weeks.
