I thought about reposting my entry on the mass shooting we had, but when I went to look for it, I couldn't find it, which means I must have deleted it. Oh well, it's probably for the best...
Guess I didn't talk about last Wednesday yet, did I? Another open mic, did the same songs, but in a different order, because it bothered me to do it exactly the same. Schleudacris played with me again, and it went a bit better, but I still fucked up a couple little things. I also brought my sound-hole pickup this time so I didn't have to have a mic near the guitar, which made things easier. He said he won't be available this week, so I'm not sure if I'll play or not. Might be a good opportunity to play a couple other songs, but 1) I don't know which to play, and 2) if I don't decide, there's no way I can practice enough to feel comfortable. Guess I'll have to work on it this week a bit.
Playing these couple times has been interesting because I've gotten to talk to more of the musicians than I usually do. Unfortunately, I still required drinks (only one before I played this time, though, which is good!). I really need to work on playing without drinks (or anything else, really!) because I really don't want to have to rely on it, nor do I even want to keep drinking, other than on occasion. Oh, I saw a picture the other day of a sign in front of a local bar, that read "I really don't drink very much, but when I do, I become another person, and that person drinks a lot!" Ha! Funny, but not, because in my case, it's absolutely true. :-( Anyway...
Strongman went well today, overall. Overhead pressing was weak, but I got up to a #335 raised deadlift (twice!), which I think is fantastic for being away from lifting for those few months (tried #385, but barely moved it, then almost passed out from being light-headed! lol). Regardless, it was good to get some work in. I may even go for a run here in a few - I need to get back to it, so I have to check my schedule & see where to fit it in. I'm changing my routine because the 5-3-1 just doesn't feel like enough work (and I'm getting fat again!). Planning for body part groups; Sun - off, Mon - Squats/Deads, Tues - Incline/Decline Bench/Triceps, Wed - off, Thurs - Pulldowns/Supported Rows/Curls, Fri - OHP/OH Dumbell Press/Lateral Raises/Shrugs, Sat - Strongman. We'll see how it goes. I should be able to run any day but Mon and Sat, just depends on how long each routine takes me each night (and whether I still have the energy after those workouts!)
I'm going to a singer/songwriter event tonight @ the Dog. Meg_D is playing, as well as a few others I know, so it should be pretty cool. Going to try to stay away from drinks tonight & stick with Diet soda, but we'll see!? Could really do with a Scotch Ale...
Not going to write about the whole dating thing I was considering last time, but I'll ask this... for someone who doesn't want anything to do with raising kids, what would your take be on dating someone who has them? I really don't want to, but it seems that literally, the only at least moderately interesting, fairly attractive women around here who are single, are the ones who have kids. I don't really want to get into 'short-term dating', I'm really interested in 'decades-long' or longer so I don't know if it would even be worth my time to try...
Thoughts? Opinions? Pro/Con lists?
