Hmmm

For the last two years I've not posted here. WoW is to blame? No. Im not that guy anymore. Maybe it is WoW.

I've spent the better part of the night reading old blog posts here. I used to be honest to a fault. Fearless almost. I look back on what I've written here and Im surprised at myself. Almost proud.

So I haven't been creative in almost two years either. I guess WoW really is to blame. I finally started playing guitar again and writing more music. I kinda gave up on my short stories.

I have 30 years experience in living, and im not living at all right now. I'm just going through the motions. Predetermined responses and complacency.

"Hello, how are you today?"
"great and you?
"Good. Nice weather we're having!"
"Indeed"

Pretty much sums up my contact with anyone that isn't my wife, daughters, or co-workers. Of course there is the occasional facebook nostalgia and thats fun for around 30 seconds. But not very lasting. I'm not a fan of "catching up" or reliving old times. I'd like to keep moving forward and learning.

The last two years however...someone through a wrench in the cog.

I guess it's me.

Two more weeks

before I become a decrepit old man. I’ll be 30 years old on the 14th. In Neanderthal times I would be a wise tribe leader, a shaman maybe. Close to death and revered for my ability to survive the harsh environment of ancient earth. At least now I can live up to my old internet moniker of Oldmangloom.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

MOTHERS DAY AT A HOUSE NEAR YOU!@@@@!@!!!

I’d like to thank my wife for my children.

Karas 1st birthday was fun. Cake, Ice Cream, Hot Dogs, T-ball, etc. It was a fun time and thank you all for attending. Ivy will have her day in July. We’re still not sure what to plan yet. Possibly a Spongebob moonwalk or something equivalent for the big FOUR.

What a year can bring

I haven't posted to this blog in over a year. I am now the proud parent of TWO daughters! Kara Elizabeth was born May 9th, 2008. Adjusting to two children has not been that bad at all.

Can't Sleep

Last night I went to bed at 9pm. It's almost midnight and I just can't drift off. For whatever reason I can't stop thinking about this asshole I cut off a few months ago. Called the Mayor on me. It's disappointing that I don't have anything better to think about.

I need to call John and see If he'll be home tomorrow. I want go get my amp, bring it home, and play a little guitar over the weekend. Maybe I'll be inspired to write something.

Monday we go to the Doc and check on Mandy's pregnancy. I can't wait for that. Hopefully we'll get to hear a heartbeat.

Weekend Recap

WOW all day Saturday. I felt like a zombie. I haven't spent that long playing a video game in years. http://luckiestrikes.guildomatic.com/ is the guild I joined. I finally switched over to Dentarg to play on the same server as Dustin.

Today was all Ivy and the NFL. The Falcons game was a train wreck of penalties. Harrington has good numbers, but we know he can't win the game for us all on his own.

Schaub is looking better every game. The Texans gave the world champs a run for thier money.

Ivy was all over me today. She was very sweet and always calling for Daddy even when Mandy was home.

Practice

What we need is a solid leader. No one in the group wants to assume that role.

I know I don't.

I guess I'm just burnt out on putting 120% into the music. Perhaps the "man" is holding me down. This lack of sleep isn't helping anybody. WOW isn't helping me either.

Part of me WANTS to be the leader.

So much to talk about

I can't find the time to keep this blog updated. I've thought of a million things to write about this last week and forget them by the end of the day. Maybe I'll try an end of the week wrap-up type of entry. Tonight I am very tired.
