Back to the Grind

Well the onset of age. Turning 29. On the path to getting back to the things I love.
Music – I have found the perfect niche. Taking a lot of lessons from Bert Jansch. I feel very happy with my current direction. The music feels like me. It took a really long time to get to [...]

Saturday Morn

It hardly feels like winter anymore. Supposed to be close to 50 tomorrow.
I have to work all day today. Which kind of sucks because I am in a weird groove of dreaming, playing video games and otherwise enjoying my downtime. It is a strange feeling of pure contentment and how I can be so content.
So [...]

Ain’t Got A Clue

No idea what will happen next. Probably nothing. Sometimes I feel nothing in life is going to work out. That would sum up my last two weeks.
It’s all about money. That is my pure focus right now. How can I make enough to pay all my bills. How can I save money long term. How [...]

Food

I finally went to the store and got real groceries. I spent $250. A lot of organic stuff. Meats, vegetables and fish. Lots of juice and 20 cans of no sugar added fruits.
I don’t know if I will be getting a stove. So I will be using my foreman and electric skillet alot!
Still waiting to [...]

Thank You

Thanksgiving went pretty well. Actually a lot better than I thought. Maybe it was the Stroh’s but I didn’t feel nearly as uncomfortable as I thought. (Edited sentences – here). I am very thankful for what I have and had. I hope things are getting better for everyone I know and care about. That is [...]

ThanksGivin’

Let there be food and drink.
I was already to drive to Florida Wednesday when I say goodbye to my folks. My Mom was her usual understanding self and said I “hope you find what your looking for” but my Dad, not necessairly against me leaving couldn’t fathom why I was not staying around for Thanksgiving. [...]

Email

Curse or blessing I am still not sure. I always liked the postal service until recently.
But I just got bad news about a job and I replied back to the email with a simple Thank you. and I wonder if it didn’t come off condescending. Didn’t mean it to be spiteful, just a simple thank [...]

Don’t Get Ahead of Yourself Kid!

Because of a bunch of different factors I decided to wait to go up to the Northeast. I have family visiting next week, then I have classes starting up on the 9th and it was all too much congestion. I don’t think I would have enjoyed myself. I feel bad about the job interview but [...]

Thoughts on a Weekend (Illinois)

University of Illinois
I got into town around 11:00am and did a quick drive through the city. After figuring out the basic layout of campus I went to the recreation building and played basketball. First on court action since I broke my ribs, it didn’t go so well, I was terrible until the last two games. [...]

Chicka Boom!

Went to the gym and played basketball. Stupid? Probably since I am about sure I have a hernia.
But I was almost like my old self. I played pretty dang well. I was hitting jumpers, out rebounding big stronger guys and running the point fairly well. Only problem was my handle is suffering because of the [...]
