september 23, 2017: thank you for playing

fairly refreshed thanks to a bit of sleeping aid. usually there would be some gym time in the morning, but rain said no. so instead it was a bit of marvel vs capcom. 

soccer game one today. it went better than expected. we had a good lead and then in came jacob and out went that. walking away with a tie isnt so bad though. and maybe his parents will be a little more understanding when he only plays so much...

and back to the gaming. gym time for today was cancelled thanks to soccer having a late start.

anarchy rulz 99. watching taz leave is still sad. and seeing rvd vs mahoney is still impressive.

finishing off story mode. lots of button pressing. not so much on the skill.

somewhere along the way i got word that charles bradley died. just two weeks ago he was feeling bad and cancelled some shows. and now hes gone. thats crazy in some ways, but with the few details i know its likely better that way. its still sad though

september 22nd, 2017: getting stewart engaged?

another day of dealing with computer stuff is upon me. things are pretty well setup now, and should be fully set at some point today. that doesnt really do anything for me, but thats the big thing for now.

taking a long break while we wait out stuff to happen. so its back to the usual thing of seeing what people are up to. i stopped by to give els his faygo, but he wasnt there. not at first anyway. eventually he came around and was pretty happy about it.

apparently while that was going dylan was trying to figure out how to get me engaged in work. little does he know that is a very tricky thing to pull off.

and then back to the dungeon.

eventually it was finally time to leave. it doesnt look like things are going to go super well. people are starting to catch on. what they'll do about it or how much they'll care is another story though...

in important news, it seems that dammit is 20 years old now. i think ill give that album a listen. 

september 21st, 2017: respaldo de bateria

im so tired. how im going to get through today is quite the mystery. more so for tonight. 

at some point during the day there was a question of how power would hold up with all our happenings. i pointed out that we had some high end somethings... as i started to read the box to say what it was i was stopped. firmly. looks like we have some off brand, mexican knock off.

home. a nap is super necessary. but hard to make happen.

off to el paso for the third time this week. and more importantly third time in a row. im willing to miss the opening bands because im just not physically ready for this right now.

the show was good. the opening band, dirty nil wasnt anything special. bleached was pretty solid. i think i really just liked the bass. and against me was fine as usual. this was the first time i actually saw them in a headlining show. kinda odd to think about that considering ive seen them pretty regularly since 2006. the show ran a little late, but they played a lot of songs so theres really no room to complain

september 20th, 2017: tricky falls doesnt do 'capacity'

feeling the effects of a concert night. and unfortunately i wont have any time to rest before tonights show. maybe it wont matter though.

work stuff.

its the last soccer practice before our first game. things are starting to come together.

and off to el paso as soon as its over. the show has been sold out for months so getting there this late isnt a good thing. the place is already super packed. theres no way this is ok. none at all. it was a good show though, just hard to enjoy it. the opening band, circa waves, didnt seem to be anything great. 

and then the long drive back home.

september 18th, 2017: the sharknados

i woke up because my alarm was doing its thing. i stopped it and was back to sleep before i could even think about it.

there was a big meeting of sorts on the horizon and i just wasnt ready for it. but i could only put it off for so long. eventually it was time and it was every bit of garbage that i expected. 

and then i wasted a bunch of my day doing nothing. that only works for so long and eventually you have to be productive. ish.

soccer. i was thinking chavez wouldnt make it, but then he did. and thats good because i wasnt sure what we wouldve done otherwise.

and then home to sit around more. theres too much of that in my life in some ways.
