OK, I am late this month.  My motivation took a dive.  I have been hampered with a partially torn bicep, and a cold that isn't really a cold anymore more than just a disgusting, steady stream of nasal drip from the inside of my fat head into my throat. On that note, I continue.  First let me say formatting this stupid blog is a disaster.  Why other fonts become current just after starting a new paragraph is beyond me.  I understand hidden, non-visible coding that may exist, like it does in Word, but I swear I correct that by deleting blank lines...only to have these return. It's a new year.  The charts are slow moving, stagnant, and non-inspiring.  That may change as a slew of new songs makes their way into my youtube favorites. But it may not matter... ...I think I am heading to the end here.  I am just fed up, but as always, I am not sure what I am fed up WITH. I have working arms, legs, a safe living environment. I am not in poverty, and...

" 'Tis the season"...for what, I don't know.  Another holiday season.  BAH.  I just don't handle well this time of the year.  My emotions are thrown back and forth, from literally disgust and hatred one minute to beign infected with joy and a belief that good times are ahead. After something like 3 years of this stupid blog, all my readers (zero and counting) know I'm just a basket case by nature. I am feeling OK, actually.  I am doing well in social situations, saving money, making acquaintances, and letting things roll off my back after smoldering for a short time, instead of letting things fester and eat me alive. Well, like last year, I get very, very...."eager" for physical experiences.  This happens to me around Christmas time usually, going back to my teens.  I think because it's cold (which makes me want to get physically close to someone, I guess), and usually a festive time for most people...there really is not a good reason, I g...

Better late than never, as I lay here dying...from food asphyxiation/intoxication...in other words, it's Thanksgiving night and I am questioning my existence when feeling like shit from...eating.  I mean, a basic carbon life form function, and it makes me sick (not sick like I'm vomiting, but sick as in languid, tired, sleepy but not enough to sleep). It's a holiday - pass granted.  Diet starts tomorrow! Life continues, and is going well.  I still have the doldrums, but I guess I am doing what people need to do, in lieu of marriage and having children - expand your horizons, try out different things, stay busy.  The song from 36 Crazyfists hits #1.  A band I never heard of until this song, which is about 2 years old now.  I just never tired of it, and it remained on my youtube favorites, and when I tired of other songs, "Also Am I" got closer attention.  What a simply straighforward, kick ass song. The new entry is an EDM type song.  It h...

Well, just like October of 2015, I am very late posting for this month. Been busy, as usual.  Again....thank God graduate school is done, because all this stuff keeping me busy now are things that are PLEASURABLE, low stress, and FUN.... I do like my field of study, but it is a challenge.  I remain on vacation from it, until after Thanksgiving, at which time I will try to network, keep up with the industry, and who knows - maybe connect with a great employment opportunity. I love the autumn.   The cooler weather is a nice break.  I have fallen out of workout mode, and feel like a lump on a log.  But I AM spending time working on guitar and the arts, basically.  I hope to see maybe one play every 5-6 weeks, and take cues on acting.   Acting class chugs along - started a few weeks ago.  I have mixed feelings on it - it is something like 15 weeks long, and expensive.  Thus far, I question on the length of it (FIFTEEN WEEKS!?!) and...
