Wow, been a while. glad to see you. whats up? hows it hangin? whats shaking? and any other nondescript, generic greeting I can think of.
I am going to give you a quick summer recap, some pics, a little video, and as usual, some random junk floating around in my noggin. (what is a noggin, anyways?)
Come with me know as we enter the time machine and travel all the way back to May 2016.
Graduation time at my job is tough. a lot of demands on my time and (questionable) talents, non stop, two to three weeks of just smiling and taking it, prison style, if you know what I mean.
I ended up getting ill at the end of it, let my body and the stress get to me. never again. Thats why the Gods created alcohol. Its a magic potion that makes it all better. (not permanently, mind you, but for a little while at least)
I guess caring about what you do and passion has its drawbacks, who'd a thunk?
I discovered something called Biofeedback therapy. Its where you put on a pair of dark glasses, listen to some calming sounds, there's some lights flashing to the beat, putting you into a relaxed state, just like one and a half of my college years. Yeah, I cant remember anything from those either.
Its actually quite calming and has helped me a lot. Legally, mind you.
Now I don't fly off the handle and throw haymakers at everyone within spitting distance at the drop of a knife or a burned roast.
Lucky me.
June:
Worked some more. I swear if one more person says to me "you must get the summers off, working for a college, and all" I am going to give them a stern talking to. No really, I'm gonna punch them in the neck.
Then I went on vacation with my family. An awesome vacation, traveled out to California, saw a lot of cool stuff, did a lot of cool things, ate a lot of good food, drank a lot of good wine. Spent a weekend in San Francisco, a week in Monterey Bay, and a created a lifetime of memories.
If you have never been out there, GO. Very cool.
Shout out to my Aunt Terri and "Uncle" Francis for introducing us to the second most beautiful place on this earth. The Shell, The Sauce, and I will never forget it.
Then after we got back, I had my 30 year high school reunion. Shit, 30 years. Talk about a time machine! A couple of people changed, a couple didn't, but most were the same people inside as they were in high school. I was never the outgoing type back then, more of a lone wolf, like a one man wolf pack.but I have since changed, now I am more of a two man wolf pack, but usually alone.
I enjoyed myself at the reunion, forced my way through the awkward moments of who are you? and wow, you got fat!, and managed to (re)make some friends. pretty good experience.
July:
Where did July go?
I think my time machine is malfunctioning. Started off with some personnel changes at work, then an Independence Day celebration, some traveling to look at colleges for The Sauce, a little more celebrating, and boom were in August!
August:
Its been hot as Balls here. not over 100 or anything( I feel sorry for those that are enduring the constant, eye melting heat) but hot enough to make my hair sweat. and everywhere that I have hair, which is everywhere except for the bottoms of my feet, and I am pretty sure they are sweaty too.
Here it is late August, coming up on my favorite time of year, Autumn.
Oh the Glory of the fall foliage!
The sunny days followed by crisp nights!
The never ending supply of Octoberfest beer and hard cider!
By the way, my favorite brand of cider is Dicken's Brand Cider, After all, their slogan is "There ain't nuthin' like having a Dicken's Cider" Its a pretty dumb slogan and it never made much sense to me, But I still like the way it sounds when I say it aloud to my family and bosses at work, while pumping my fist Tiger Woods fashion.
I think I am going to try to post something on the internet daily, probably followed by a cute little caption, maybe a smiley face or something. maybe a political slogan, or a cute puppy, or a news article about a person I have never met, or a picture of myself taking up the whole screen, Just my face, so people can see me. I'm gonna call it a "selfie" I don't think this has been done before, at least not the self portrait thing. I might even purse my lips so I look like a mallard. I'll call it "mallardface"
I think I am done writing today, this post took a lot out of me. I'm not the spry young blogger I used to be.
If you haven't already, sign up for the updates on the right of the screen. If you cant see the little box, open it up in your web browser, whatever that means.
The posts are pretty random, and not very timely, but they are fun for me, And I am the only one who really matters.
You can also look back at some of the other tomfoolery that has gone on here in the past, if you are bored. and I mean really, REALLY bored.
