2. "im ready for the week to be over" In response to Reply # 1
lol
im super sleepy, my sleep schedule is off now due to the trip. didnt get back in until 2 am sunday morning. woke up after 10 am and couldnt fall asleep until midnight last night.
i was worried about two things for this show, the cold and the "hike" to get in. i over prepared for the cold and didnt think the hike could be too bad.
the hike is real. i had to take 3 breaks to get up there. im definitely out of shape lol i underestimated how hard this would be.
the cold was not as bad. it was a bit "warmer" than i was expecting when the show started. it definitely got colder as the night went on but i was prepared. i was sure i wouldnt be able to enjoy the show as much because i would be cold but it wasnt a factor.
as far as the actual show.....i am disappointed
that de la soul had to stop performing.
i enjoyed every second of de la soul but was seriously bummed out when they walked off stage. i was convinced they were going to come running back out. no way that was it. they really did do a good mix of big songs and songs that are just great. there were sooooooo many songs that i wish they did but obviously there is only so much time. i felt like if they just did two more songs i would have been happy. i definitely want to see them again, hopefully with them being the headliners.
atmosphere has a really good show. they definitely have been refining their show. i was pleasantly surprised by how many older songs they did. they seem to have performed every one of my favorite songs of theirs and that was only half their set (they did like 4 or 5 songs in the encore). it took me a while to warm up to their set because i was still salty the de la soul was over then two couples decided to stand in front of us in our row. once they started doing the older songs though i got back into it.
living legends also had a really good set but i am really not that familiar with their music. i think i need to check out more of it.
watsky was okay. not sure what people like so much.
dem atlas was good, i need to check out his music.
the lioness was okay.
all in all i would do it again but maybe fly instead of driving up there lol

lol. I took my Dad (from NJ) to a show there last summer and there was some epic grumbling and complaining. I thought I might have to have an EMT follow us up.
>then two couples decided to stand in front of us >in our row.
Seriously fuck these people. There's really not room for 2 people deep and its not just a big open GA pit. Theres rules to this shit.

we werent in a prime spot exactly. not sure what made them think this is a good spot to get in front of. luckily for us they eventually made their way further towards the center but it was weird.
most of the people were pretty cool but when we first got there a girl was like "my 8 friends are sitting there" i was like oh..sorry did i bump into them??? then left space for two people lol
it was kind of weird, people kept coming and going in that spot.
something else i was not prepared for was the mud. when the show was over my shoes got full of mud in the parking lot. i still need to clean that out of the car lol

...in stitches.
Can't repeat most of them here or anywhere else online tho. IRL > The Internet.
Work week is off to an okay start. Dipped-out and found somewhere quiet right away. Been getting in early so I can bounce early too. Day's over half done, and I haven't even gone to lunch yet.
trying to resurrect some ambitions these days... things that could lead to less to gripe about on a day to day basis... we'll see how it goes... gotta take the shot though.
I'm terrible for that... but I don't usually want them checking in on me either anyway.. just like it to be golden when we encounter each other and get the chance to share a laugh and some news... last time i saw my best friend all he talked about was work, career and retirement plans.. I seriously wasn't feeling the convo so I think it rubbed him the wrong way... then there is my other buddy, the lawyer, he just stresses the hell out of me worrying about him.. dude should have it made in the shade but he's probably the sketchiest least predictable person I know.

I bet they check as soon as you stop checking for them

an old colleague started a new business and asked that I do some consulting for him. Just got off the call and totally sold it. The brain is truly an amazing thing lol

ducking out early this afternoon for a Doc appointment... would that it were an appointment with Dr. Claw... alas nothing so excellent... just a 'scrip refill. Canadian health care at work.
finally finished that last book I was reading - Memory Serves
damn that book was awesome and challenging.. the concepts in it are incredibly powerful, evident and honestly at once so difficult and yet obvious if not simple to grasp or comprehend.. It comes from a culture that while I have long been curious/thirsty to understand and have read several books about, has such fundamentally different perceptions and foundations of knowledge and understanding the world and our relationships with the myriad of it's composition... man I can't even talk about this and come close to doing it justice.. I am not confident that much of it didn't go entirely over my head.
next up I'm reading The Autobiography Of Malcolm X As Told By Alex Haley
46. "honestly not sure.." In response to Reply # 45
heard of it.. think it may have been in something I've had before... wasn't memorable if I did though.. and maybe I didn't... lol.. is what it is...
why? are you planning to do something with it?
and yeah if you want to read it too that'd be great... after that last book I'm feeling like I need to have a venue for discussion on these things where I'm not having to lay out the context from the get go.
I just started it, almost finished the forward by his son and am already struck by how little I actually know about him... looking forward to this.
usually late by 5-15 mins sometimes early.. call in if it's going to be more than a half hour (stay late and/or work through lunch to accoodate)
do you take long >lunches? what is acceptable? is a long lunch every day of the >week acceptable?
on occasion I do. usually only about 10mins longer but somtimes a half hour longer. no not everyday. > >do you try to balance out 40 hours? meaning if you typically >have to come in earlier or stay later will you be more likely >to take long lunches?
yes 1st about ensuring the hours are in and 2nd about managing the perception of others that my hours are in > >how can we eliminate this phrase from work? "did you get my >email?" >
I say "As per my previous email" if I'm pissed... usually I just say "I wanted to follow up on this"
>construction traffic really gets me in a mood. just took close >to a 2 hr lunch partly because of this. got to work all >stressed out lol > I've come to the conclusion that no matter how bad traffic is I find it less miserable that public transit so I consciously choose to avoid annoyance or worse.
