Feeling Ok, dating & Ra Ra Riot Show
After work I just ended up getting something done by mailing out to my friend his CBW T-shirt on his last visit that he forgot. No big deal, but as always it seems getting from Cheektowaga to Hertel is somewhat of a pain now with some of the road construction that is going on these days. But it wasn't a big deal as I was way early for what I was going to do that night.
The occasion that evening? I actually had date with someone that I connected with off of the App Coffee & Bagel. It was someone who moved back to the area from Texas. Her family was from the area, moved her down to the SouthWest when she was 10 & now she got a job here & moved back 2-3 weeks ago. This is the second time I took someone to Daily Planet Coffee Co (maybe it's a sign luck wise?) But I do enjoy a part of the city that still has a bit authenticity & grittiness. It appears that there wont' be a second date, but I felt pretty good about just getting the opportunity to get out there.
Then my mind clicked, There's a show at the Waiting Room. Ra Ra Riot was in town so I hiked it over there. Apparently the show was sold out but some gracious person left a ticket at the will call for someone like myself. I have always done similar & sold tickets for less than face when I had extras so I guess it was some concert karma coming back to me?
Anyway it was an amazing show & it made me happy despite the universe not finding me relationship love.

Party
I wish (e:metalpeter) could feel the same way.
Honestly we all go through some stuff in this life. God knows I lost a good years going through some BS. It's hard to get to the point where you can cut loose & accept the cards you have been dealt & move on. There is so much that I wish I could/still do, but I just live one day at a time. Sometimes to my detriment as some people just lose their stuff at me when they see my post on fb, but It's my life not theirs.
Anyways here are a few pics from a great night. This isn't as good of a job as the Peterazzi could do, but just to fill the void.

Something September Thing
Now we're all different & being a guy like myself I got no where near the love on my own compared to when I had tagged my "concert girlfriend" in the posts. But still I had to ask "Who & What am I doing these things for & Why am I Oversharing?"
So I just decided to like & comment as I've realized that most of the time on my phone is on there. One modification I've purposely done is to use the Paper app. This is due to the fact that I get most of my fluff news from there & it works better than the newsfeed. Plus it also cuts down on the pics of people's first day of school pics & other nonsense.

Dreaming about living at Canalside
I guess a part of me wishes I could buy a condo right there. Since I missed out on the boom in Toronto. Then again Buffalo doesn't have really much in terms of new construction as most of the new lofts downtown are all rentals. With that in mind I'm not interested in throwing money away. But in all actuality I So wish one of the rooms in the Harbor Center Marriott was a condo that I could buy.

Baby Steps
I'm actually out & about today while posting on my phablet iPhone 6 plus. Yeah Not to bring up the old drama about an app but who needs one when you have a big screen & processing power? Although I have to admit I have been posting using the LiveJournal app! Yeah I still check that place just due to a few old friends, I still can't believe it's mostly Russian, who knew?
Anyway with friends dying & life getting crazy collectively I guess my perspective has changed about life. Yes I've had a ton of loss family wise bit sometimes you can't see the forest through the trees when you're in the middle of it. The only way to describe my perspective on life these days is like when jigsaw gave a speech on appreciating your life in a saw movie after someone won a game & survived. In some ways I feel like that after my friend died in Oct.
So maybe my New Year's resolution will be to use this site when I'm out and about in the city? Also have to figure out a way how to upload pictures for work around with flash on an Apple product.

Getting back out there
Honestly it him coming out would have made the night even better. When you're in that state of mind where you want to preserve you just have to get in that comfortable place in your mind first. I guess going for so many years put a bit of confidence that usually I don't have. Usually I'm paranoid about my car in the city (This is a huge issue that I still need to work on), but I knew that if I got there early enough I'd get that nice sweet spot between driveways further down the street.
Even though I kind of had minor triggers of reminiscing about a former friend & an ex girlfriend on the same street, it was good to see how absurd those concepts were. Yes my ex was a descent thing at the time but honestly it wasn't going to work. Although I have to say not having a girlfriend in the city & physically not being up there is something I wish I could change.
Anyway here is the song that I had in my head as I was the lead singer as my costume. Sorry about the video as the colorized clean version was scrubbed when Gregg when he disbanded everything about the New Radicals. It was feel good music then & still holds up to this day.
In all it was an awesome night, I just wish our friend could have came out & snapped a few pics.

Getting back to my true self
But I've rediscovered some old books that I purchased down in Sarasota & with my free time I'm trying to at least stimulate my mind once again is this distressed time I'm having at the moment. The downside is that I'm feeling kind of like I'm a waste at the moment. The thought of volunteering has crossed my mind. I wish I was just wasn't so stupid earlier this year with money as I would have moved away for a bit.
Anyway I actually took another step today & went out in the city for a bit today. Yeah it's been a while but I was able to plan it out & enjoy a beautiful day sipping a smoothie with a bunch of people from a meetup. It's just good to get back into a good place & start taking baby steps again.

Reflecting on Walt (e:uncutsaniflush)
I'm happy that his experiences (old school punk rock), insights and thoughts will be with us digitally. Whenever he commented on a post I always was happy that he noticed. Also I'm pretty sure that he is one to have contemplated his existence & life as it's too late to do that once you're gone.
Lastly he gave me hope (As I'm also in the very far from Brad Pitt in the looks dept also) that one day I may find love of someone of upstanding character despite our challenges.

I've also heard about Daily Planet but have never been there. The prices look way better than Cafeology or Tipico.
