Bloggy Blog #91

  Hello, you may remember me from posts about my hockey journey, the Quad City DJ's, and tweets that received the fewest interactions ever. I'm here to let you know that after my very long and probably necessary hiatus here, that I am back! I am back because a lot of things have happened. Namely, people in my life passed, and other social media I've been using have gone to shit. And so, here we are. Let's compile a rundown of events lately, shall we?

THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED: Well, plenty! The last Bloggy Blog appears to be August 2021. Certainly feels like a long time ago. Perhaps in that time you got married, had a child, or won the lottery. Who knows! I certainly didn't do any of those things. Winning the lottery sure would have been nice, though. 

I had to relocate for a little while. Maybe permanently? Who the hell knows anymore. I'm fresh out of ideas and patience with my life anymore. 

I finally paid for professionals to cut my hair (see Bloggy Blog 90). Twice now, and maybe a third time soon. 

Fuck my parent's cars forever. 


THINGS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN: I didn't need to evacuate twice for hurricanes. 

 I didn't win the lottery. 

I didn't eat any ice cream at all this summer*


SOMETHING UNUSUAL YOU'RE DOING NOW THAT PERHAPS YOU WEREN'T DOING MUCH BEFORE: I've been to cemeteries more often than usual. 

I've been buying my father pizza. 

Putting quarters into a laundry machine.


SOMETHING NOT UNUSUAL YOU ARE STILL DOING: Bottling up things!

Mildly using vodka as a coping mechanism!

Writing?**


CAN WE HAVE A SILLY OLD PIC OF YOU SINCE WE LONG FORGOT ABOUT YOU: Sure. 



WHAT'S GOING ON THERE? It is 30 degrees with a light snow. I am wearing shorts. Tomorrow I will have a Muscle Milk for breakfast then call some places.


Anyway, here we are again. Welcome. I'll post more, honest. Good, wholesome content***


*this is very very false

**eh, sure?

***if you're nice

The first time I visited, I had to park across the street in the lot of an abandoned gas station. The lot itself went up a slight hill, and the station's sign would occasionally spin some slow turns whenever the town spirits wanted to have some fun.  She lived in a questionably constructed building on the second floor of this sleepy Revolutionary War town, adjacent to a craft store that was hardly ever open. In the basement sat a four-lane bowling alley and a small bar. It was by appointment only, which really meant the building's landlord had to be there to serve drinks and keep an eye on the action. I didn't get a chance to bowl down there, but seeing the construction of the building, this was probably a good thing. When she moved out of her place, part of the process involved placing a three-foot wide plank over the bowling alley basement stairs, in order to move big furniture out. Needless to say she left the heavy lifting to the moving experts.  The new plac...

     From 2001-03, I called the northwest corner of Louisiana my home. My initial foray into the real world was met with a trip halfway across the country - a trip that consisted of a thirty-six hour bus ride (with plenty of transfers in sketchy towns in between) and a friend in Little Rock who took me the rest of the way to the Pelican State. Prior to this, my only moment spent in the state was interviewing for the position. That was early June, where I hopped aboard a couple planes and was whisked away to campus for hours upon hours of interrogation. The interview process wasn't really that bad, but what was bad was my ill-fated idea to take a walk around campus shortly after the interview ended. I was drenched in sweat upon my return, completely oblivious that the humidity there stuck around much longer than it did back in upstate New York. Regardless, I was in love. I was in love with this idea of continuing (starting, maybe?) my life elsewhere. The first few weeks...

    I was, to put it mildly, an absolutely disgusting high school cross-country runner. No, disgusting is not slang for good. I mean bad. Real bad. A teammate - who wasn't a very proficient runner himself - often competed in what appeared to be casual street shoes or cross trainers. During some races I finished behind him. This happened for a variety of reasons, none of which have to do with him probably being a better runner than me. The most critical reason why I often found myself in the middle or close to the end of the pack of meet competitors is the fact that at some point during the races, I just stopped caring. I mentally shut down. Gave up. Waved a white flag. Why the hell am I even here? , I'd ask myself. Literally hundreds of runners have passed me already, and I'm barely halfway through. There may have been a race or two where I actually stopped running once we got into the woods and knew there was no chance of anyone seeing me. I'd walk a couple steps,...
