june 4th, 2017: tristan 1, youtube 0

last night, or this morning i should say, i finally got to sleep around maybe 3:30. and as usual was right back up around 7 or 7:30. so i eventually made my way to the gym for a light cardio thing and some leg stuff. back home. not long later a nap happened. it was inevitable.

studying. working through my p music.

splitting my attention between play offs and a ppv. neither was worth it. the game went pretty much as expected. maybe the cavs will put up a fight back at home. its nice to see some competition when youre a casual fan. as for extreme rules, it was not extreme in anyway. but samoa joe vs lesnar should be a good, fresh matchup.

looking up stuff about hard water. another reason i dont like new mexico...my skin and hair are not happy either.

so it looks like that recent youtube change had some good. for the first time in years im able to comment on things. since maybe 2012 or 2013. thats crazy when i think about it. but i also dont have much to say

but on the more somber side of things, i heard that the hot tamale licorice bites were discontinued. why does the universe hate me?

june 3rd, 2017: 97 seconds

my day had to start a bit earlier than i wanted. first thing on the agenda was a haircut in el paso. being there by 9 meant getting on the road around 7:30. that went all right. from there it was a stop by the mall to see the new 7s before heading to the movies.

doing the meetup thing again. its been a while. a long while actually. the thing i dont like is that people always just want to talk about what you do and all the questions with that. nobody cares what youre into. and maybe if i wasnt so unhappy it would be fine. but i am so its not.

i was all set to get back on the road, but then tricky falls sent over a message that robert randolph was cancelled for tomorow. so now i have to go back across town to all that music for my refund. so i may as well stop by guitar center too.

back home. and very tired. even the drive back was rough. so i decided a quick nap might be a good idea. that quick nap lasted for about 5 or 6 hours. 

in that time i had an odd dream. it took place back in the newport news days and revolved around me getting a cat. but it was a large one that was more of a wild, outdoors type but had somehow been slightly domesticated. i dont remember a lot about the dream other than having to constantly pick it up and move it around.

so those new love's i bought the other day will likely be cancelled. apparently i was supposed to call in and confirm the order. its like a fancy version of finishline. so that sucks. 

finally watching 97 seconds. there's a scene with someone picking up a large dog and it reminds me of my dream. its kinda weird to see stuff happen that you just thought about. theres probably a word for that and im sure it sounds very made up.

june 2nd, 2017: the right mix of conceitedness and thoughtfullness

friday morning gym time. i got through my four sets, but it wasnt a smooth ride. it never is though.

i got into work a little later than usual because i had to add an extra stop to my morning. i still have time to do the things i need to do so everything should still work out, right? but then people decided they needed my attention so that was derailed a bit.

on to a meeting. almost late. or maybe i was. im thinking i wasnt though.

jumping forward to the afternoon...today is big ash's big day. it's finally over and she's off to texas. that 'kicked' off with a game of kickball. people seemed to enjoy themselves so thats nice i guess.

at some point overton's wife and i got on the subject of baseball rules, as an uninitiated person into that world i dont know fact from fiction.

and then we presented stuff. i delivered a pretty solid monologue that seemed to go over pretty well. the tristan stewart award for doing good things was quite the hit. 

home. and glad for that. its been a long day and im kinda tired. not sure why. unfortunately i just remembered that paying the rent didnt happen. so out i go to to do. i ran into that keren chick and she was going on about work stuff. must be quite a bother.

modern family. 

i passed on word to jed about a new flogging molly album and then was all set to wind down for the night. id thought about calling him after talking to even but passed on that. and then he called me. we talked for about an hour and fifteen minutes. thats the sign of a good friendship.

june 1st, 2017: just put 'em on that chair

while doing my usual morning routine i got some news about those olive ultra boosts. because the universe works in mysterious ways, theyll be on sale at 9. and ill probably be busy. luckily they happen to be in stock on an obscure german site. this is like the third time in a month that ive ordered something through shadyesque means. it worked out in the past though...

this morning is going to start with a little more crap that usual so i figured id get in on time to talk to people and get ready for that. it shouldnt be much to it, but alas tis still quite gay.

while hanging around i tried to lend a hand and tell some oo dudes where to put some hard drives. but since i dont really work there my word doesnt mean much.

meeting stuff. talking to neu afterwards. sometimes i dont realize how much stuff i have going on until i have to say it out loud. 

volunteer stuff is the thing of the day. and it was a pretty good time. so that might just be a new regular thing for me ol' darell. 

stopping at home before heading off to the gym. and its a good thing too because those new love 1s are in stock on a normal stateside site. dont mind if i do. and free shipping? oh, yes. 

running. but just a little bit. still easing back into things. a light leg and shoulder workout. then off to tie up loose ends at work. 

im really tired for some reason. i want to just go to sleep but i did that thing where i procrastinated on other meeting stuff so ill be doing that instead. 

may 31st, 2017: im burnin' all the corduroys

gym time. breaking out/in the pantone 7s. i like them. i looked forward to them for a bit and they dont quite live up to the hype right now, but maybe theyll grow on me. chest stuff. tricep stuff. overall im not feeling it. i take my own advice and remember that is the second best time to work out.

at work a little later than i wanted. doing some things real quick before running off next door to do planned things. that lasted a while. back to work to tie up loose ends before being off to el paso.

nissan stuff. darell is there and really wanting some popcorn. the cupcakes arent enough to deter that. enjoying the scenery while that happens. watching chrissly knows best. its awful. listening to bad ass kids do hoodrat things. apparently christian is being a real pain in the booty.

all that music for robert randolph tickets. chinese buffet food...possibly for the last time. walking the mall. im a big wheel down at the shoe factory.

krispy kreme and then off to start our journey back.

overall a pretty decent day for all the wrong reasons.
