Green tea and blurred vision.

Bunch of stuff floatin’ around in the ol’ noggin today.  Let’s take a crack at getting it all out.

I’ve come to the conclusion that free alcohol is a bad idea.  Last night, Jackie and I went to O’Aces for their anniversary party.  Beer and well drinks were free.  Thus, I imbibed about 2 too many glasses of Newcastle.  These days, I don’t care so much about the getting drunk part – I enjoy that part.  I worry about things when I blackout, ’cause I have a tendency to get real, REAL mean when I’m that drunk.  Usually, the closer you are to me, the meaner I am to you.

So when I woke up alone in bed this morning, I kind of assumed the worst.  From talking to Jackie, it doesn’t seem like I did anything last night outside of my general meanness.  That sucks, but at least I didn’t do anything stupid.

The internet’s been a really boring place lately.  I don’t have anywhere to go with that, I just thought I’d put it out there.

Well shit, I thought I had a bunch to write about, but every time I try to start a paragraph, I stop and erase it.  Exciting times are coming up for my family, and my mom has NO CLUE.  Steph’s in an actual relationship, which is refreshing for a change.  Brandon’s coming to move in with me, and I’m way excited for that.  Chris is happily married, and Val is doing great, as well.

I’ve rekindled my love for music lately.  Thanks in part to Russ for his “Best of 2008 – so far…” blog post.  Thanks in part again to staying with Chris, and getting to play with some neat equipment.  Thanks also in part to Jackie’s sister Rachel finding that we have MTV-U.  Finally, an MTV channel I can actually enjoy.  I wonder how long it’ll take to get bastardized like all the others.  Anyways, I’ve listened to SO MUCH good music lately… I might have to do another Seeqpod music post sometime soon, ’cause there’s stuff I definitely want to share with others.

I was talking to Tom Kim the other day, and he imparted on me some wisdom that he got from a former boss of his, relating to one’s career path.  He said, “One year of your twenties is worth five in your thirties, and worth ten in your forties.  And if you haven’t settled on what you’re going to do by then – you should just stop and enjoy it, ’cause then it’s too late to change things.”  It scared me a little, ’cause sometimes I feel like I’ve squandered a large part of my 20’s.  I guess I have 4 more years to make up for that.

When I’m in the air studio at Mix, I like to be shoeless.  Is that weird?

I’m officially done writing.  I found something else to do.  (Seriously, www.conceptispuzzles.com is one of the better online time-wasters I’ve ever seen.  Many thanks to my brother Brandon for showing me the goodness.)
