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.

Garage Sale

Before my mower mishaps on Saturday, Mandy and I had a garage sale. Its intersting how many people will by the stuff that you don't want! This was my first garage sale! I'd have to say it has been a pleasent experience. The weather was just incredible Saturday morning!

Steve, Tracie and Ezra came by to have a look at our goods. Ezra was wearing a SWEET transformers shirt. Ivy spent the night with Terri and David the night before and hadn't arrived by the time Ezra showed.

Mower troubles

This guy wouldn't work at all on Saturday. I wasted a few hours tinkering around with it. I changed the air filter, spark plug, and checked the oil several times. The damned thing just didn't want to work. I took it back to Wal-Mart on Sunday. Exchanged for another new one. I had only just bought the last one. At the beginning of August when we moved into ths house! Oh well. The grass is mowed as of now.

Drama, Mirrors

Today was one of the most dramatic and theatrical days of my life so far. I will not go into detail here because it's WAY too complicated.

Lately, whenever I look into a mirror, I don't know myself. Seriously. I do not want that statement to be taken metaphorically. I really hardly recognize that guy. I guess i'm finally aging.

Supper, Winter, Band, Guitars

Traci and Steve came over for Supper tonight. Ezra and Ivy played together for a while. It was fun but very brief. Steve and I spoke about Video Games while the ladies cooked. It was just so damn BRIEF! I suppose it is a product of aging.

Meh.

Maybe I just need Winter to come. Fall is my favorite but I always feel more creative in the Winter.

Tomorrow is band practice. Corey is back from the Florida Keys so we should be able to get something done. It really does feel stagnant in there, though the addition of the Apple notebook might light a fire under our ass. We can pretty much record whenever.

A new music store opened up about a mile from the house. All Star Music. It was a pretty sweet store. They had at least one of every cool guitar that comes to mind.

Nukes!

I found these links on http://www.digg.com/. They have a "blog it" option but I keep receiving some strange error from the blog.

The Move, The Internets are DOWN, WOW, SGU

I haven't made "blogging" a priority lately. Mandy, Ivy, and I recently moved out to Loganville. Its a little closer to our parents, so that negates us being a little farther from work. The traffic on 20 is horrible, but the construction is coming along nicely.

Our internet access has been down for the last 5 days. Today a "tech" came out and "fixed" it. It's had me on edge. I sorta watched the Falcons game friday through a very, very fuzzy ESPN. I think Harrington is gonna give us a winning season.

I've recently been introduced to World of Warcraft. As part of the move we bought a new computer. This one can actually run most of the games coming out.

I've also began listening to the podcast The Skeptics Guide to the Universe. They have given me a lot to think about lately. More to come...?

so many "blogs"

I hate the name "blog". I started doing the myspace thing but I really don't like it. Perhaps I should delete my entire Myspace. That would be fun.

Bears or Colts? I'm bored.

The King

Tonight I am celebrating! I am a King of Mediocrity. Just like Salieri.

Yellow River Game Ranch

Weekend Update

Saturday we all crossed town to Mandy's parents house. Ivy played outside all day as usual. She's gonna be pissed when it gets cold out. David and Terri bought this wagon months ago and Ivy was always scared of it. After two hours of playing within a comfortable proximity of the red wagon of death, curiousity got the better of her and she climbed inside. I pulled her around the yard at least a dozen times. When I finally tired of pulling her around she just sat there contently switching sides and pulling the seats up and down. Emory came over a little after she had climbed out, and Lindsey drug them both around for a little while. After visiting The Grandparents Mandy and I came home and ate some Taco Salad and drank a little. Corey came over at a time early enough to visit Ivy. He was impressed with how much she has grown. Ivy was a little skiddish at first but she warmed up quickly.

Today, we went to the Yellow River Game Ranch. I had a great time and I'm sure Mandy did too. Ivy was happy just to walk around the whole place. She never really looked twice at the Bears or Foxes or Deer or anything except her feet.

Shooting Range

Corey, John, and I went to Bullseye in Lawrenceville today. I shot my .38 for the first time. We all bought "fat guy" targets and went to town. Corey rented a .45 that was badass. We had a good time. You can really let loose your aggression on one of those people targets. I'll have to visit again and soon.

Working for the government

Bill will be joining us on Monday. It should be a fun time. I think he's just right for it. I hope he doesn't make me look bad. Ha.

It seems that Ivy just doesn't want to eat anything. I always try to feed her but I think she doesn't want baby food anymore. I always end up giving her crackers and juice or a piece of whatever I happen to be eating. Thank God Mandy knows what she's doing. I'm sure she'll read this and be assured of my excellent parenting skills.

I'm waiting now for Mandy to get off from work. I'm starting to understand that 10-6pm is meaningless. But hey, she's bringing home the bacon. How can I argue?

Time flies!

I just went through my old blog at www.livejournal.com. I used to keep track of all the band goings on and stuff happening with Mandy.

Oh well.

Since my last post, Ivy has turned a year old, Mandy started a new job at Petsmart in Johns Creek, and Ground:Xero has recorded two new songs which can be found at www.myspace.com.groundxero

I can only guess that all of my online bragging time has been taken up by watching the beautiful and exponentially growning Ivy E Pants.

More information as it develops.
