february 4th, 2017: cinnamon toast crap

todays shoe releases didnt really interest me. but in looking into all that, i see where i went wrong with my nmd sizing. the runners ran a little big, but the r1's were true to size. interesting. mildly. 

the day was spent mostly watching luke cage with a little cleaning up. at some point mom called to tell me about their massages. 90 minutes of that. seems kinda crazy, but they seemed to enjoy it. and thats what matters i guess.

so, i tried cinnamon toast crunch for the first time today. ashley got it for me yesterday and i couldnt eat it since she got the wrong milk. so i broke that out. didnt like it. 

sports illustrated decided to charge my card for that subscription that i dont want. so now i have to keep up with that. it was still in 'pending' status, so it should be cleared up easily.

a nap. more luke cage. starting disc 2 of natures most amazing events. 

i cancelled my proxpn thing a few weeks ago and finally went in on a new service. so far it seems to be pretty good. its just as cheap. maybe cheaper. connection seems fast with a decent number of locations to use. this might work out.

february 3rd, 2017: battle for...supremacy?

a decent gym workout. i went back and forth on it before committing. in the end, it's been a pretty lacking week so i figure i should get in when i can. 

work took an interesting turn today. it started with a 'talking stick' conversation and degenerated into an all out battle. i think it was for the best though. random converstion got us through the rest of the day.

el paso. again. before foreigner i hadnt been since the airport and now it's been twice in a week. doing a bit of useless running around before hitting tricky falls. i shouldve just stayed home. it wouldve saved time and i probably wouldnt have forgotten my camera nor had to buy earplugs. oh well.

the show was good. pkew pkew was new and had a pretty solid sound. little bit of a punkish rock type thing. something that youd expect from an early tony hawk soundtrack maybe. everything else was as expected. ballyhoo! played a really good set. one of the better ones ive seen in a while. its nice when bands are touring to support an album because they can just play what should be played. 

this was the first show ive been to with other people in a while. there were 5 or so people from work. it was kinda weird. id planned on just hanging back and talking to those two older people through the night, but that only lasted two bands.

driving back and listening to the tales of perry saturn. that dudes had it hard.

february 2nd, 2017: huarache...round 3

last night was dave chappelle night for the parents. it seems like they had a good time. i missed the call last night so i talked to her for a bit in the morning. pretty good start to the day.

the work day on the other hand...i had to make up for all the stuff i didnt do yesterday. and that just took forever. i did get through a lot of songs today though. then it was off to talk about self aid and whatnot. 

picking up a money order. well, trying to. apparently the post office sucks so that didnt happen. walmart came through though. 

the shoes i ordered last week all came in today. two here, one back at the white house. but only two stayed in the collection. the am1 flyknits ended up going to abe. the 8s seem pretty nice and fit well. but the huaraches...the main ones of the group...had a bit of excess glue on them. of course.

dinner and a few episodes of luke cage.

february 1st, 2017: happy groundhogs day eve!

my usual pre-gym solo time was interrupted so much. next thing i knew there was a circle around me. whats that all about? moving on to do a shoulder and leg workout. im thinking that doing shoulders twice a week will give me the time to do all the leg stuff i want to do.

calling mom to remind her of the chappelle show tonight. shes on it. so good for her. and shes pretty excited about her workout stuff. i probably shouldve said more about that, but my mind doesnt focus on things like that in the moment. im just not in tune with the human part of conversation sometimes.

the work day was largely unproductive. i killed off a bunch of time talking about training things. ran across the way a couple times. wasted more time talking. not much time doing today. so ill be dealing with that tomorow. i spent the last part of the day talking to le about the problems of the world. dial walked by at some point and i tried to stand up, but the table and my belt worked against me. 

at some point in the evening i realized i missed a shoe release. the release actually. ive been waiting on those olive ultra boosts for some time now. had i realized they were 'cargo' and not 'olive,' maybe things wouldve gone differently. or maybe i shouldve just turned on the alerts because its no secret that adidas does their releases whenever they please. and the third problem would be not thinking about how they dont do math like i do.

luke cage. cleaning up a bit.

january 31, 2017: ashleys dream

the day started with ashley telling me about a pretty odd dream she had. something about stealing a sparkly car and getting caught by the cops. it was pretty funny though it raised some questions.

the day was largely empty which was good given i was going to be stepping out a bit early. 

the nike outlet was a waste of time. and then i had to deal with a bunch of detour traffic and that was terrible. dinner at the grand china buffet and a walk through the mall. i was hoping to use a coupon at footlocker, but no luck there. on the upside, i was able to get some storm blue 1s from footaction. strangely, they dont fit right. makes me question my other recent buys...

foreigner. usually i pull off at least two shows a month. this month around i barely made one.

ive been doing pretty well with making my journal entres daily. today fell a little short on account of the foreigner concert, but its still before i went to sleep.
