i’m too young to be this old***

Today is my 35th birthday. Can you believe that shit? Me, either. This seems like another one of those age milestones (you know like 30, 40, 50, etc.). Though to tell you the truth, every year seems like a milestone anymore.

Here’s one way to tell you’re getting old–buy a car with a sunroof. There’s nothing like the sun shining down on your head to show you just how many gray hairs you have. I knew I had a lot of gray hair, but this is just ridiculous. Some days I think I should bite the bullet and start dyeing my hair (but, it’s kind of hard to justify that since I don’t wear makeup. hell, I don’t even own any makeup. why start caring about my appearance now?). Other days, I wish it would just go all gray and get it over with.

The only good thing about growing old is that I’m taking everyone with me.

Happy Birthday to me.

another birthday celebration

We celebrated my birthday a day early and went to the City View Bar & Grill (I even got to open my presents!). I’ve been wanting to check it out, so the three of us did this evening. The food was good, the view was great, the new decor was awesome. It’s nice to see a restaurant operating there again. Hopefully they will have much success. Brian and I have a soft spot for that location because that’s where we got engaged.

All in all it was a pretty good day. I spent most of it gardening and doing yard work. Brian managed to wash all three vehicles and I cleaned the car and truck on the inside. Today was pretty busy, but in a good way.

Now, I’m going to go downstairs and chill out on the couch for a while before I hit the sack.

music

this is pathetic

Last night, we finally recorded the solo to (a)pathetic (you know, that rottenstone song we started recording about 9 months ago). We scrapped the crappy solo I worked on a while ago, Brian hummed something, and I played it. It sounds pretty cool, too. Not the best solo in the world, but it’ll do. So, that song wraps up our EP. We’re planning on recording a cover song for a bonus track. Hopefully that won’t take long because I just want this thing to be finished already.

like it or not?

I don’t think I do. I changed it to display one day’s worth of posts rather than just one post, but I don’t know if that’s going to do it for me either. I mean, I usually just post once in a day, anyway…

There are a few other formatting changes I want to make, but it’s going to have to wait–there’s a Margarita with my name on it that I have to attend to…

ch-ch-changes

I made some formatting changes today. I’m not sure if I like them or not. Let me know what you think–I’m not the one who has to read this blog. Basically, I’m only showing the most recent post and links to the last 10 posts are available in the sidebar. I even turned comments on so make your vote count!

I also put my archives in a drop-down menu. That change is staying for sure. The archives were starting to get a little lengthy.

I suppose this would look better if I had really long posts. I guess I’ll need to keep that in mind when I’m posting from now on.
