I am 26 as of May 29th.
My parents and my brother visited me for a couple of days. We all saw Episode III and the next day we went to Sea World. Angela made her best cake yet for my B-day. Angela got me a helmet that is Snell and DOT approved. The shield protects agaisnt UV radiation and it has a lot of vents. She got together with my uncle to get it because he knew that this particular helmet and style had to be special ordered for me in XXL. She also got me Panzer type G, Hanomag and machine gunners models by Tamiya. Too cool. I got a pressure cooker from my parents and I've already learned and made my mom's stew. Everyone ate the entire pot in one sitting. Cooking with that thing is extremely quick, about 10 mins. If you did the same meals in the oven it would take about 2 1/2 hrs. Everyone else gave me money. The first thing I bought with that was another 512 of ram so I'm up to 1G.
I can feel 30 approaching. The events in my life have a greater sense of gravity. So things didn't turn out the way I planned them when I was younger but I can say that I have graduated. Most of the decisions made from here on out are life altering. With time being more valuable I have made the decision to meditate on the things that I want to accomplish and to make sure that they are worth the investment. Shed the dead weight, things that dont aid my progress.
I've completed two paintings this summer and I hope to do at least three more.
Things are going to be interesting with Gored because we are adding another guitarist to the mix. The physical distance between the members of this band is starting to take its toll on the morale, creativity and enthusiasm. In the beginning I would drive out to practice. That lasted for over a year and a half and now that the tables have turned practice has diminished because they dont want to drive out here.
The CD was supposed to be out by now. I don't know what the problem is but my patience is already worn thin. Just another piece of bullshit to add to the heap of band dung. It reeks.
I'm starting to wonder if any of this is worth a damn.
I don't feel that my full potential has been tapped yet and it won't be if I can't consistently practice with my drummer. Having to rely on others sucks. It seems that some things will never change. The only thing you can really count on is change. What a duality.
Well this should be a suitable update.
