Late Night Hustle

     Heynow. It's 9:15AM and I'm at work. My boss isn't here yet. I hope he doesn't come in and I hope he calls in so I can leave early. When I woke up, my nose was running and it still is. My big toe on my right foot hurts too, I must have slept on it weird. I took some allergy medicine and it hasn't kicked in yet. After my morning shower and getting dressed, I was a bit late for work. Since I was late I didn't get breakfast and I'm really hungry. When I got to work I figured I'd drink some tea to fill my stomach but I had only one teabag. I drank that and now I'm drinking coffee. My boss came in with photo paper for me to print out some old photos that I scanned a few days ago, I got that done. My boss's girlfriend came in, the old photos are hers. I helped out to carry a package / present to her car and I'm guessing she's on her way home. My boss is looking over the specifications again for me to change. There's not a lot of changes but he's still here to my left, I don't think he can see me typing on my blog. My sinuses are cleared up and my big toe doesn't hurt which is great. The morning is becoming better.
     It's past lunch now. I've been working (some work related and some making my custom twitter background page, which is done). I need to work some more on a set of plans I'm working on now but I was going to review my night last night. My boss gave me a lot to do but it's almost the end of the day, so I'll do it tomorrow. Anyway, last night I got in the mood to paint. I got the idea to do a time lapse video again so I set it up and shot it for the first painting. A Painting in Six and a Half Minutes. I painted a total of two paintings that night. The (Spoiler alert) Slash first and then Angus Young for the second. My friend Nick wants to buy both. Now I have two paintings left to do. One for Allison and one for myself which I'll do last. While painting the second painting, my mom called just to check in and talk a while. Dad and her were doing fine. Also while doing the second painting, I uploaded the video. A lot of active activity going on at the same time. I actually painted some while talking to mom. I also told her the video idea I had. After painting, uploading and talking on the phone it was time for bed. Well, I guess I filled you in yet again, I gotta go. My life is exciting, later.

I use words that start with "Some" in front of it all the time. Sorry if that annoys you.

     Heynow. It's been yet another uneventful Saturday. Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't post anything on here because nothing really happened but I'm bored. Listening to my iTunes "Pearl Jam - Just Breathe". I need to learn that song, it's a good one. I have some cold earl grey tea to my left on an old wooden stool. The stool I used to play drums on. Now I use it to prop my feet (sometimes) or put my tea on. I do miss playing drums. It's gets all my anger out. Now I have one less outlet for anger. Sometimes that madness turns to sadness and my apartment is my blanket. I did goto Walgreen's to get some allergy medicine that I ran out of. Today was a cold, gray skied, slushy day. Not all that great. I'm thinking about vlogging again but I'd like to get a better camera. I looked up a few cameras and a really good one costs from $160 to $200. So I guess I won't be getting one soon. Using the camera around public places and everyone looking at me somehow makes me not have so much anxiety. It's weird but it sometimes works. I feel like I need to have something human watching me to make me feel human. I still need to get some ideas for the green screen stuff. Something that's never been done is hard to figure out. I'll think of something when I get into the grove of it. Sometimes when I watch something or see something creative, it'll make me think of different ideas. I just focus on one thing like song writing or painting. I feel like tonight won't be one of those times. It's 11:16PM on a Sat. night. I have send some messages on a dating website so that's something out of the ordinary. The two I send were interesting personally and were physically very cute to me. Hopefully something good will come out of it. I was productive today, I finally fixed this old office chair, one of the wooden legs were loose so I glued it and the chair squeaks so I used some WD-40 to make it lubricated. I just sipped some of my tea and for some reason, it tasted like fruity pebbles cereal. Quite weird, cold earl grey tea tastes like a fruity cereal. Okay, I'm getting sleepy and I'll stop now. My life is exciting, later.

Sipping Tea & Listening to Otis Redding and The Beatles

     Heynow. I actually took off work today. I'm a little sick and I needed some extra sleep. I'm having trouble sleeping lately. I've been eating toast and drinking tea today to make myself feel better and it's working. I think I'll fix me some tea now.....as I make some tea listen to "My Lovers Prayer" by Otis Redding because I'm listening to that song on vinyl, which is my dads record I borrowed.
     Okay, I'm back. I haven't really listened to my records in a while. So I might just do that whenever I'm at my apartment blogging here. The actual record now is "The Best of Otis Redding" 1972, disc 2, side 4, track "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay". It's been a very low key kinda day. Gloomy, damp, and uneventful. Now that I have changed records to Rubber Soul, I recently learned that the version I have (the U.S.) is different than the U.K. The U.K. version is the one everyone knows. The U.S. version has a few songs from the album Help! and some songs taken off the U.K. version. I think, at the time, the songs were controversial so the U.S. was nervous to put them on the record. "Drive My Car", "Nowhere Man", "What Goes On", and "If I Needed Someone" are missing and "I've Just Seen A Face" and "It's Only Love" in there place. Weird. I know some of this because last month Rolling Stone magazine came out with a Beatles Top 100 Songs list with how they wrote the songs in the magazine. It's very interesting and I'm going from 100 to 1. I'm at 10 right now. Plus from reading how they write songs, it's opening my mind on how to write songs better. After reading some of the stories made me feel like "That song is about nothing so I guess I can make up a song about something and it'll turn out good." Plus I can write about just about anything. You forget what all you can write about and turn it into poetry or a song. I don't have to talk about me, because I think I'm boring. I can talk about other people I know that might have problems in their life and in a way, I'm healing for them because I want them to feel okay. I had an idea to write a song with a ukulele and a harmonica in it. Like a mini Bob Dylan, lol. Maybe I'll write a song about sipping tea and having a day like this but being happy. I need to write happy songs. It's easy to write sad songs. I'm thinking about getting some bongos because I need some sort of percussion in my recordings. I can't exactly use drums at my apartment. I wonder if that fabric and foam store near my apartment sells acoustical foam? I might go someday. I have a lot of anxiety and I think I might need to be medicated (There's a song). I need to write down song ideas and then sit down and actual write them. So far, I've written down just two but I need to carry around this piece of paper to remind myself to write song ideas when they enter my brain. Now I'm listen to The Beatles White Album, a masterpiece.
     It's only 5:54PM and it's really dark outside. That sucks. I wish, on sunny days, I would just sit outside and play guitar. Now that I know how to play "Mother Natures Son", it would seem perfect. I just picture myself in the middle of a field of high grass, sitting Indian style playing this song all alone. I guess I can still play outside right now even though it's still raining and dark. Just turn on my outside light and sit on my floor mat under the 2 foot overhang outside my door.
     Oh yeah, I have been doing some art type stuff. I have these braces from the canvases I've bought and I made a structure using super glue and I pour melted candle wax over it. I dunno. I just wanted to pour melted wax over something. I think I might get a clear glass vase and pour all the candle wax and make different colored layers, then melt the glass vase and all the colors together. It'll happen someday. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing all these activities out of sexual frustration. I have no lover and I have no friend to talk to. I think I'll end my blogs with this phrase in sarcasm and at times of realism, "my life is exciting". Later
