timelys smart wake up thing is odd. its almost making things worse...

i rode to the gym this morning. short work out with soothing sounds of now, now. felt it a little more than usual. walked a bit. thought about life. sat a bit. thought about life. went home. in the rain. the ride ended with 'better weather.'

so i went to pick up my car after taking it in for a gearbox and engine oil change. 138 pounds. even if that were dollars it would be a lot. another reason i cant wait for this to be behind me. one more year.

the weather cleared up. a nice day by local standards for this time of year. i grab my bag to go to lunch. *kshhhh* rain. heavy rain. or so i thought. it was hail. another reason i cant wait for this to be behind me. one. more. year.

conversations about school, jason mraz underground king of '98, and doing the education. aint no hold up.

worked my way out some of my routine sounds as of late. i really need to get on the amp to hear some variety. theres something else that's missing too i think. i need something to get my imagination going. might be lack of playing with others. maybe depression? both valid possibilities.

january 2nd 2014: cats and christmas cards

well, this wasnt the most productive day, but not bad either. i did finally start studying again for my active directory certification and got ready to resubmit some property loss/damage forms. tomorow may even be the day i get that line 6 rebate mailed off. its nice to say i finally made some progress with those things, but they should be behind me by now.

and what of the rest of my day? well, i found a seller for an aqua man vs mer man pack. yay. finally watching 'raising arizona.' ehh. im on my way back to where i used to be in the gym. unfortunately between the gym and biking, i fell asleep on the first new episode of tnt. i caught a glimpse and sadly didnt care for what i saw. to be honest though, i was going in with a negative outlook anyway which would naturally skew my perspective.

so this is the new year...saying that triggers a whole mess of memories of things. anyways, heres post number one.

well new years was the typical tristan stewart type of thing. be at home. find something to do. do that. go to sleep. usually thats a pretty boring adventure, however this year the twit 24 new years event was around to entertain me. thats a good thing. it keeps my mind occupied. sometimes i need that. i guess everybody does.

today was pretty productive, yet not really. i picked up a shelf. case. cabinet. whatever. its the first furniture ive bought since like 2005. and the reason? well, a place to store some figures. ed and brett helped me put it together. didnt see that happening 10 years ago. 

ed at some point: "...so you can put your trophies at the bottom." -- he obviously wasnt aware of why i got this

moving on... opening figures. arranging stuff. an unexpected challenge with the acid storm masterpiece, but an eventual victory.

messed around with a new (to me) scale and put together a string of notes that i like (today). 

mental note for tomorow: learn about recording and start posting to soundcloud.
