february 14th, 2017: another addition to the shoe graveyard

i missed a call from anthony over night. he mustve been drunk. apparently he discovered via roberts blog that im missing from an alternate timeline. thats not good.

today's golng to be a busy day. somehow i managed to sleep in a little bit so thats nice. 

laundry. as soon as i get there i notice that my left shoe has popped. im pretty bummed about the whole thing. this pair of shoes actually has some sentimental value to them since we've been all around the world. qatar. the uk. russia. i even remember buying them. it was something of a lucky find at a foot locker in macarthur center. and with the discount. so yeah, theyll be missed. 

home briefly before heading into work to prepare for things. about two hours later its off to get a haircut and maybe watch a movie. looks like jessie doesnt work at zuccos anymore. hes somewhere in texas now. ive been really thinking about putting the fro days behind me and this seems like a good time. but for some reason i just cant do it. 

cracker barrel and back on the road to the gym. that was awful. i was so hot and a bit lightheaded. something was definitely off.

smackdown and some internet surfing. 

during my drive to phoenix i worked through a couple stone cold podcasts. one of them got into the ospreay vs ricochet match and id been meaning to see that for some time. tonight it finally happened. it was definitely entertaining, but as the 'enthusiasts' said it did lack in some areas. it was like watching the expendables i guess. you just have to not think much about it and take it at face value. 

overall today was pretty much crap. from start to finish really. smackdown was entertaining so thats nice. but thats about all it had going for it. i really need a good vacation to reset life things. unfortunately, i dont have one coming up soon enough. but at least with having one, thats something to look forward to. its feeling like 2015 all over again.

february 13th, 2017: driving

the day started like it normally does. at the ass crack of dawn. but it was a good thing in this case because i wanted to get on the road and put the drive behind me. it was pretty smooth going, but just took forever. i drove through a little snow in las cruces so that was different. 

stopping at work for a brief minute to see what the emails have to say. then it was on to home for a nap. 

raw. its mostly bad. jericho and owens have moved on to the inevitable split so that kinda sucks, but i see some good things coming out of it. and bayley won the title so thats nice. i wonder what sparked all the switches.

since the bulk of my day was me sitting around that made for a lot of time to think. i guess my life isnt exactly terrible, but i dont really like it. i need to do something. make some kind of changes. i tell myself its not quite up to me. and theres some truth to that. but there's always something to do. or try to do. so i could sit around and just keep being depressed and let that get worse with each day. or i can figure something out. at least doing that, then i can tell myself i tried. and thats a good thing. right? good enough, i dont know. but a step in the right direction. 

lehosky put up some new music and its out there in all the right places. it doesnt sound too bad either. something about the mix seems a little odd, but it may just be a problem on my end. 

i want to go to sleep. im not very tired though. i have medicine that helps, but id really like to hold back on taking more of that. though i probably should.

while doing my usual wasting time on the internet i found a comment about bayley spoiling her win tonight. and on the main wwe site/youtube [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj54b9dIuGI ] of all places. kinda surprised it didnt get edited out. 

february 12th, 2017: five boys go in...four men come out

up early. again. same old reasons...oh well, off to phoenix.

stopping by sams for gas, toys r us for entertainment, and paradise for panera.

through a strange turn of events, i found myself in a little hangout gathering. it was pretty all right. i played the role of locked character thanks to some poor lighting.

and now for the whole point of this weekend. the elimination chamber pay per view. honestly, i wasnt sure about going. the problem with things like this is that you never know what youll get, but you have to put up the money early. i learned that the hard way with wrestlemania 2016. so many injuries...

the show was really good overall with a few nice surprises. naomi won the title. as did bray wyatt. what? 

waffle house. and some bad service because thats how life works.

february 11th, 2017: lucha sucks

i woke up super early today. its one of those days where my mind is too busy and just wont slow down. i guess i wasnt able to really process the whole ashley thing yesterday while i dealt with other things and now thats happening. everythings gonna be all right. i think im just in the middle of the ride.

distracting myself with shoe stuff. trying for yeezys. failing. i almost made it through, but adidas kinda screwed me. i want to blame my phone. but thats ultimately on me i guess.

off to las cruces to start my little weekend vacation. its something to do, but im just not looking forward to it. the hotel is kinda nice and there are some towels folded up like an elephant.

stopping by sams for gas. getting a new card first. wonder what happened to mine? then off to watch wrestling. 

and that was my day. largely underwhelming. but it is what it is.

february 10th, 2017: world comin' down

i guess i fell asleep before i was completely ready last night. there was so much noise going on. the tv. the music on sonos. and the light of the tv too. 

samsung finally pushed out the marshmallow update for note 3's on at&t. i had pretty much written that off as a possibility. turns out it came out for the tab s too. but since its rooted i never saw anything about it.

eventually it was time to be up and make gym things happen. unfortunately, my car said no. that turned into quite the ordeal. on the upside le was around so it was kind of a good time. over breakfast we came up with a master plan for a cereal restaurant. as silly as it started off, it could actually work.

eventually things are sorted out with the car and its off to work. the inspection for that morning took all of five minutes at the most. so thats good i guess. what wasnt good was the rest of the day. looks like ashley is off to other things and is being replaced in one of the worst ways. it started off as a rumor and that was shot down. then all of a sudden it was real. doesnt feel like it.

and then i had to go sit around and wait on a new alternator. it was something of a stroke of luck i suppose, but i wasnt thrilled about it. nor my financials. after a little dinner i just wanted to sit and be alone. i probably spend too much time like that. but in some ways it may be for the best.
