So I am just updating for the sake of getting to the half century mark. This weekend was pretty much shot. I have been working like a total fool so far this week and will until Sat. All I am focused on right now is that Karma Police Show @ the brickyard on the 27th. Anything else right now is just something that is just getting me by until then.
What is really doing the job right now is the CD from The Twilight Singers "Powder Burns." Just what I needed, a nice soundtrack to the drama that I have been going through with my Ex's over the last month. I just love that man Greg D.
It is just way too late or early and I need to grab some more sleep before I head off to work at 7:30 this morning.
Another random though, why is my myspace page getting hits all of a sudden? For the longest time I was lucky to get 2 or 3 every 5 days. Now it's 15-20 a day! What is the deal?

Being SickCategory: self observation
So after 4 days off I return to work sick. I'm battling this viscous head cold that is just making my nose run, run and run...
The upside on this is that I have just zonked out when I have returned home from work and just slept for 6 hours. I wake up around 9 or so and grab some leftovers in my fridge and then try to go back to bed. Sleep to me is a comforting drug right about now. Nothing bothers or hurts me when I'm just layed out. In some ways I think that is how I have done a descent job in the effort to stay young. Yea, sleeping for 8-10 hours a day is pretty big luxury in today's world. Just for me it's a requirement not a privilege. If I find myself going for 2 or 3 days with only 6 or so I just want to crash on the nearest couch and take a cat nap. I know this is not normal or typical of people today. Does it give me a complex of being lazy of some sort? Yes, but at the same time a good solid sleep on a dreary, rainy, chilly day like today for 8 hours is like a good weed buzz.
Then again I have always felt like it's a coping thing. Just like the old Ben Folds Five song "Narcolepsy" I just can't post lyrics, for some reason I just can't stand it when people do it.
To sum up this post, I feel great when I get some killer sleep but feel quite guilty in doing so.

Personally just blah, but Emotionally...Category: music
It's just one of those day's where it isn't good or bad but pretty much is...
On a more interesting thread, I AM PUMPED RIGHT ABOUT NOW!!!
band's website
Their Myspace
The Twilight Singers new CD "Powder Burns" came out today.
Just called New World Record in Buffalo and saved my copy.
Going to get my copy in 10 minutes.
YES, I am getting excited about a CD coming out.
I feel like I'm 17
That sick MF Greg Dulli takes me to a special place every time I play any of his stuff.
On another note I finally taken the initiative and got a new pair of glasses. It's going to be one of those trendy half frame things in bronze. I just need a change right now in just about everything about me right about now. Not a bad obvious place to start.

glad to be backCategory: potpourri
Finally joined the 21st century and got high speed Internet. It was a real pain in the ass to get everything installed. The whole process took about an hour and a half. My house is a freaking mess and stuck in the 1970's. So he had to drill a hole from the outside :-/
This is really nothing to compared to the raw emotion I am still reeling from right now. My conscience got the best of me and I had to tell someone something. I'm not too sure if they will ever speak to me again, and I really can't blame them it they never do.
Just what the hell am I doing with my IRL friends lately? I am either breaking it off with them or doing something incredibly stupid to force the issue into default.
Could it be that the universe is telling me to just pick up my roots and get out of town?

I have thought about this a lot of times. I think that Buffalo is a small town and I need to get out in order to meet new people. Then I go to some giant event like taste of buffalo or or the artvoice fest and I realize that there are hundreds of thousands of people I don't know, right here in town. Changing jobs or apartments/houses can be as socially invigorating as canging cities. I guess that doesn't help the weather or get rid of the old friends though.

Game 4Category: hockey playoffs
Well feeding my Internet withdrawl I stopped by the Adelphia booth on the 100 level and found fellow e peep ((e:mrmike)) working!
Wow pretty cool stuff.
Just had a roast beef fix at the old "poor man's aud club" and now I am just taking in the pregame hype.
This is going to be a crazy night no matter what the outcome!
Go Sabres
I feel ultra cool right about now as I am wearing an old Sabres hat from the early 90's. It's 100% wool and I think I bought it during the 89-90 season and it has been sitting in my closet since they changed over uniforms. Thank God I never threw it out. These hats for $18 + tax are just ok.
EDIT:
Well the game isn't going as planned. I am fearful that wearing my authentic old school gear may have brought the negative ghosts from across the street (the old aud)
It's just that I want to see the Sabres advance when I am there. Too many times when I was a kic I would go to elimination games and Buffalo would be golfing after losing to Boston or Montreal.

I remember when I used to go there and get Adelphia points on my adelphia card. There internet was amazing, glad they reopened that up. But Why is the Poor Mans Aud and the Adelpha Zone not open for Bandits games. Those two things should be open for all events during Hockey Season. That Roast Beef with the Poatatoe crisps (chips) is verry good, I know that bar has to be packed to the gills. No Mater what happens it will be a blast. GO SABRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

amen brother. Sadly, there is not much I love more than sleep these days. But it's often at the expense of other things, so I feel guilty. But I figure if I fall asleep with my face in my book, it must mean I NEEDED that sleep. or so I tell myself...
