No guitar yet but I found my guitar method cd! Happy Friday

It's Friday. You know what time it is? Time to work more! YAY! No guitar so far for me but I did take a break to try a free computer game called Alien Swarm. It's a squad-based top-down shooter available on Steam. Very fun game for the casual gamer. I also was digging through my desk drawers and found my Guitar Method software disc. That gets me a step closer to practicing. Going to install this weekend and at least get a couple practices in.

Happy Friday to all and have a great weekend!

This blog died right after the Dead weekend. What the hell happened?

Not quite sure what happened there. I went to a Dead show back in 2009 and all the sudden I have no hobbies. I started my own business. I had a baby. I am getting more into politics by listening to AM talk radio. I don't smoke my cigars. I bought a fishing license but haven't fished. I got my first IT certification and working on more. I put new strings on my guitar but haven't played. Good mixed with 'aww man' in a blender of life. Chill in 90-degree weather, slowly pour into my brain and enjoy!

I did actually want to use this for my guitar adventures but somewhere along the way the rest of life happened. All good things (and a few bumps in the road) of course but being a guy who needs to 'fire gaze', I need to get back to those hobbies from time to time. I am hoping this week can begin a turning point for that. I have all but given up on computer gaming which for anyone that knows me was a biggie. I still go in and play from time to time but I think I have mentally shut down from that aspect of my life. Chalk it up to getting older I guess and the fact that I have one amazing one-year old to come home and 'wrastle' with.

Karene is getting back to something that she loved to do so I should probably do the same. I'll see if I can begin tonight with a lesson. More to follow...
