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.
