So.. it's been a little while since I've written anything in here about this roller coaster.
So, in summary, here's a short list of things that have gone on in the past few months:
- Hired back at my previous job of over 6 years. It's true what they say, the grass IS always greener on the other side...
- Got myself up-to-date with ALL the current "next-gen" gaming systems. That's right - I have a Playstation 3, an Xbox 360 and a Nintendo Wii. I also have the HD-DVD attachment for the Xbox 360 and an amazing surround system that perfectly matches the 50-inch Plasma TV I got back in October (I think). My home entertainment center is, truly, a force to be reckoned with. It literally shoves me down on the couch and pins me there, forcefully.
- Turned 32. This does not make me happy. I wish I could rewind but, alas, we know it's not possible.
- Helped Liza get a new Scion TC, all tricked out with nice rims, tail lights, iPod, the works. She loves it. Made me happy to help her get outta that piece of shit Rav4 she'd been driving around for a decade.
- Bought a 2007 Honda CBR 1000RR Repsol Replica
- Wrecked aforementioned motorcycle exactly 1 week from purchasing causing $6700 in damages to the motorcycle.
- Overhauled my PC - dropped a lot of money into it but I'm satisfied with the results.
- Hung my guitars on the wall.. it looks fucking awesome. Now, if only I could find the motivation or inspiration to take one of 'em off the wall and play some. I've pretty much lost my drive to play music. It doesn't give me the satisfaction it once did, and that's pretty damn sad.
- Still battling with alcohol. It's always an uphill struggle. Got a week under my belt today so we'll see how long I can make it last. I basically need to just not start that shit again. It's a demon that's continually taking stabs at me.
- Had my sister, her boyfriend, and my best friend from high school up for the Chimaira/Dragonforce/Killswitch Engage show a week ago. Hence the newly-established cessation of alcohol.
That's about it for now. If I think of anything else, I'll write a little more at some point.
