day 3 of vacation : part I

this morning started off with me waking up in a pool of sweat. it was so damn hot in my house, it made it hard for me to sleep. i ended up waking up to my cat biting my nose. i hate when he does this. so i shoved him away and he came back yest again to bite my nose. a gentle shove away again and back to sleep. 5 minutes later there he is grooming my head. Do you know how disgusting that feels?

I woke up, layed on the couch and watched the today show for a bit. I finally got up and decided to start cleaning my house. I started with the living room. i started cleaning off my couches, then wiping down and dusting everything. After that I decided that i didnt like where the television was. people cane see it through my front door. I did not like that fact at all. So I moved and rearranged my living room. While in the process I decided that I needed to get some of those zip ties, because looking at the back of my televison was/is a disaster. there were wires EVERYWHERE!

At this point I decided that I needed to get a few other things, so I would head up to Lowes. Instead of driving, I decided to ride my bike. So i gathered my bag and my ipod and hit the road. As I was riding down Bunts I hear someone honk at me. At first I thought it was some obnoxious idiot honking at me because I was riding on the road. You know how idiotic some people can get. Anyways, it turned out to be Erin T.

I got to Lowes picked up some things, and then headed over to target to grab a few other things I needed. Grabbed my goods and headed over to Robeks to get a smootie. Drank my smoothie and headed on home. On the way home, it started to rain. I wasn't complaining though because it actually felt really good.

Came home and finished cleaning the living room, so I started on the kitchen. Only thing left in the kitchen is to do the dishes.

I originally wanted to start to paint the hallway today, but I think that is going to have to wait until tomorrow. I am going to wash up and ride my bike to get something to eat.

After that, I think I will take a nap, play some video games, and head out to band practice....

day 2 of vacation

Again, last night, I fell asleep watching GENERATION KILL. I missed the ending to it yet again. Major fucking bummer. But I think this weekend we're going to have a get together and watch all 3 of them. Grabski's been wanting to catch up on this since he doesnt get HBO.

I got up this morning pretty early again. It's a force of habit with me. being up for work for the past 10 years at 5am will take it's toll on you. I think I have formed some internal time clock inside me. It's like clockwork when it comes to me waking up.

I headed out around 10:30am to meet up with my Mom, Dad, and brother. Got to the course after a 45 minute drive there. locked my bag intot he cart and we were off. The course was in phenominal shape. The greens were fast as all hell. I think my Dad said they were somewhere in between a 10 and 12 on the stimpmeter. * (The Stimpmeter is a device used to measure the speed of a golf course putting green by applying a known force to a golf ball and measuring the distance traveled in feet.) So with that being said,they were basically playing up to PGA Tour quality.

The rough was thick and the fairways were flush. The course look amazing. And it took a toll on me throughout the day. The first few holes were pretty rough on me. I couldnt place the ball where i wanted to. Putting was hard to gauge. and it made me a bit uneasy. Normally I drive the ball off the tee very well. The drive has been a strong spot for me in the past. Not so much today though. I dont know what it was. I kept trying to force myself to hit the ball and wouldnt finish my follow through. Which blew my mind, considering yesterday at the driving range i was hitting perfect drives. But, that is the game of golf. It is such a mental mind fuck.

I ended up playing a lot better on the back nine. I started hitting my irons well and finally got used to the greens. My brother had pretty much the same problems as me. We're pretty even when it comes to playing. We're not really all that competative, which is nice considering me and my dad usually are... well at least i am..lol.

By the time we finished up 18 holes, I was exausted. The course at me up alive. As did the sun. It was really hot and i started to get burnt out there. I headed on home to pick up Brianna.

Picked up Brianna from school and came home and made some dinner. I didn;t eat anything because i really havent had much of an apetite as of late. She sat and watched some television, as did I. Krissy came home and was kind of in a crummy mood from her meetings today. Actually chalk that up to both of them being in a crummy mood. I tried joking around with both of them, as i normally do, but they didnt find any humour in anything i did. ohh well.

I'm sitting here watching the Tribe game and wishing i was at the game. It's dollar hot dog night tonight, and not to mention i have been missing going to the ball park to catch a game. I mean, yes, the indians are in last place, but i'd still love to go down and support the tribe.

Tomorrow I might venture out to get Soul Caliber 4. but i doubt it. i have this feeling that i will play it for a hour or so and then get bored with it.

tomorrow i have no plans. i think i'll just lounge around the house and maybe do some cleaning. I'll probably end up writing some more lyrics for some new songs we've been writing.

toodles.

day 1 of vacation

today has been a good day. although i slept on the couch last night because i was butt ass tired from spending almost 8 hours at the zoo on sunday. i fell asleep watching Generation Kill, and never woke up. which is odd because i usually end up waking up throughout the middle of the night. I woke up at 6am. Felt refreshed and was ready to have a good day.

I stopped into work to drop off the computer to the guy who is running my route, and proceeded home. Got Brianna ready for school. Krissy and I took her, and then proceeded to drop off Krissy at work. Her car is "broke." Took her to work and ran some errands. Stopped by the bank= to deposit a check. Signed up for a savings account. Got a new debit card, because apparently i can earn points not. So that's pretty rad.

Left the bank and headed out to run some errands. One ended up being at Steelyard Commons. So after my errands i decided to go to the practice spot to clean up. It's the anal side of me. I think i have problems with having things being neat and organized. Last night at practice i felt disgusted to be in that room. things were all clusted about and things all over the floor. Not to mention i wanted to move the PA because last night i had a real problem hearing myself. It sucks being stuck in the middle of guitar amps. Joe is on my right and jeff is directly across from him on my left. It just got to be so loud last night that i couldnt even concentrate on what was going on. It made me zone out for a bit and not even realize what was going on. I also think i need to start wearing ear plugs.. So i cleaned up a bit at the spot, moved some stuff around to make it more acceptable for me to be in. lol. I want more things/posters on the walls. the one side is starting to fill up nicely.

After returning back from errands and the practice spot, Chris and I decided to go the driving range to wack around the little white ball. It was nice and refreshing. Although it was pretty damn hot out. But it is always a good outles for me and Chris to hangout and shoot the shit for a it.. Which is nice and something i miss. So, I'm glad we get out to do it every once in a while.

On my return home from the driving range, i had to take Krissy's car up to get fixed. The guy at the station was super nice. I dont have a mechanic on this side of town, so it's always skeptical going to a new one. You never know if your going to get a raw deal. But this guy was solid and did the job in just under 2 hours.

I picked Brianna up from school and we headed out to pick up Krissy from work. I hate driving to Parma. There is no easy way to get there, and when you do get there you immediately want to leave. Worst part about it, is the mall. It is the biggest WT mall of them all.

Weleft her work and ended up going to El Jalepenos for dinner. Niether of us wanted to cook, so it was an easy outlet. I love that place. Although i am now in a food coma. Here i sit at 8:30pm on Monday evening, finishing out my night by watching SHARK WEEK on the Discovery Channel.

Tomorrow I have a long day ahead of me. I am golfing at Quail Hollow with Mom, Dad, and my brother. Should be a good day....
