Rock Prophecies, Tyler Dow Bryant & Sick Puppies.
Thanks to my client I was out until 4:30am last night…or this morning.
I saw the world premiere of Rock Prophecies at AFI Dallas last night. Good flick. I highly recommend seeing if you have the opportunity. Robert Knight is inspiring and makes me want to take more pictures and be a better photographer.
Both Tyler Dow Bryant and Sick Puppies, who were featured in the movie, played the...

Watchtheblackfriar: A pizza vending machine? Those crazy Italians!
I think I would stick to a pizzeria (too bad there are very few of them in Dallas!), but this is badass.

Lack of motivation...I need a recharge.
I was doing so well with my daily or every other day walks/jogs on the Katy Trail for a while, but one week of rainy weather, followed by a week of running errands after work, a weekend with JRL and then an entire week of working until about 7pm, I have lost my motivation.
I have also been stressed out, eating crappy, sleeping poorly and having one too many drinks lately, so I spent today...

Curious.
I just took my garbage out and I spotted a black Lexus with some seriously tinted windows with a New Jersey license plate parked outside.
I am very curious right now. It’s not every day someone from the Garden State is in Dallas. I might have to start knocking on doors to find this mysterious visitor (or new resident?!) from Jersey.

Hard work really does pay off.
Work is probably one of the top things people complain about. Number one being their significant other…or lack there of.
I have been super busy lately, but I feel like I have accomplished so much in the last week. It’s stressful, but somewhat refreshing. A sense of accomplishment is a great reward. And on top of that reward, it feels even better when your hard work pays off.
I have a...

Twitter update.
Just changed my name to tracycalabrese. Request to follow me again because my requests went away when I changed my name.
I realized way too many people I work with are following me, so I think I needed something more appropriate.

Weekend recap.
It was a pretty wild weekend in the Big D with JRL.
Friday - Dinner at Fireside Pies and too many drinks at Vickery Park. Insulted JRL by calling him a cock block. Signed up for Twitter at 3am. Follow me: tracycalabrese.
Saturday - Went to the St. Patty’s Day parade a bit hungover and then hit up Idlerich for some bloody mary’s and fish & chips. Went back home at 2pm for a nice 2...

Crappy hour.
No, not happy hour at Dick’s Last Resort.
This is when you start happy hour just a bit too late and get home just a little too early and all you want to do is pass out.
A few Blue Moon’s, a couple of wings and too many cheese fries = my crappy hour.

Cry baby.
I have been crying a lot lately. Mostly when I have had a few drinks, but more than usual.
It needs to stop. Now.

Poor Melissa.
I am sucker for cheesy reality TV shows and this is the first season I have really been into The Bachelor.
Jason proposed to Melissa, the Dallas girl, and now on the after show, he is breaking up with her. I know these shows are lame and probably staged, but I’m sorry…how can you honestly fall in love and get in engaged to someone in such a short period of time? He never should have...
