Sure looks like it. I wish I had more interesting things to write about. For some reason my random musings seem like they may not exactly appeal to a wide swath of the general population. I have seen the looks when someone catches me taking bathroom pictures, like I am some turd herder looking for gold. It somehow makes it worse when I try to explain what I am doing, so I just give a big creepy grin to see if they scamper off. So, on to more interesting topics:
My daughter (6) is currently obsessed with climbing trees. She can get up about 12-15 feet in these trees in the park next to her school (see picture). She has been spurred on by a classmate in this endeavor, and her name is Olive. She went so high in these trees last Monday the Fire Department had to rescue her. If only my beautiful daughter would exhibit the same type of fearlessness in regards to her bike. We are still in the training wheel stage. My ex wife is terrified about this development in her climbing, but I would rather her not act afraid of her own shadow - two weeks ago she was only climbing about 6 feet off the ground. In other Zoe news, she is not a very good loser. I suppose that this is largely my fault - I let her win at nearly everything, but I have beaten her the only two times we played Parcheesi. I blocked her up the first time a lot, and she lost on the last throw. We play again two days later and she attempts to block me the whole time and barely loses again. But I won! It was nice to win at something without the rules changing in the middle of the game.
Double Bastard finally made it to Austin! And boy is it great. Thanks to Sunrise Market for pricing it at a wonderful $7.99 - same price as it was in Santa Rosa at BevMo! In other beer news, my flight to GABF in Denver is booked, and I will probably make it out to Thirsty Planet on Saturday for their event. I may even speak with a woman I do not know, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. I may just get wasted and look at my feet, making an occasional borderline/inside joke like always. I just don't have the energy for small talk anymore. It's not that I am not good at it, I just get bored with it. Ask my friends, I am totally full of crap and lie all the time. It's just difficult with someone I don't really know for some reason. I usually prefer to be quiet, and am quite comfortable being alone and quiet, so I must put a great deal of pressure on myself in a situation I perceive that I must be gregarious. I'm not sure if I am a misanthrope, a sociopath, or a nice mix of both.
I've had a couple great opportunities recently to share some great music with some friends. I always love doing that, and I usually get some good stuff in return. I'm still preaching the El Stew gospel 10 years later! Also, in case you are curious, I have indeed watched both seasons of the League 30 times, currently on lap 31. Currently about to watch Epitafios, recommended to me by Netflix. Also reading a book called The Fourth Man. I am trying to read at least a book a week this year, but I have some ground to make up. Goodreads.com is great for tracking this.
Lastly, I would like to thank Joe Rogan for inspiring me to write something. I tend to create elaborate, hard to read sentences, but there are some nuggets of funny in there. I have no comedic aspritations, but getting my thoughts down could never be a bad thing. Listening to his podcasts and how he makes himself write constantly write to stay mentally active and creative. Maybe my mote of creativity will respond positively. I'll try and post something every day.
