Paul McCartney on eMusic? Weird. Dropkick Murphy’s on eMusic? Expected.

A guy at work yesterday gave me tickets to a Sum 41 concert. I got home and realized the concert had just ended and he was wrong about what day the show was on. So much for that idea.

Today I’m chilling out. I canceled my World of Warcraft account and am gonna demo another MMORPG instead. The good news is I can always go back to WoW and get my characters back. I just haven’t been playing lately because it got boring and my friends were never on at the same time I was.

My big goals for the day are buying a couple light bulbs and laundry detergent. Thrilling, neh?

I’ve been watching a lot of Deadliest Catch lately. There’s no way I’m ever getting on a fishing/crabbing boat. I would be a terrible greenhorn. It’s a lot of fun to watch though. Aside from that, my summer shows are going to consist of Mythbusters and So You Think You Can Dance. One of these things is not like the other ones… so I wish I could break dance.

Work’s been going okay. My April performance sucked and I got talked to about it, but the initial numbers for May look good and now my boss is asking me how I’d feel about becoming a coach somewhere down the line.

“If I don’t move to Japan first, sure.” See, it’s my freshest dream. I’ve gotta have somewhere new to go. Yesterday for a few moments I thought to myself, “wow, I almost like my job today.” But it’s the urge I have to constantly seek out new worlds. My brother Isaac is the same. Either Marines or the coast for him. Jesse’s a bit different, but he wants to move to either Vegas or San Diego. One [whatever I am], one military wannabe, and one rockstar wannabe. I guess [whatever I am] is some sort of wannabe just looking for my own place in the world, too.

And if I don’t get there, who cares? As long as I don’t stop moving, I’m okay with whatever comes my way.

This coming Wednesday my greatest joy will be finishing work so I can return home and spend the night alone playing World of Warcraft with a few thousand people, but I’d rather be on a date with someone who enjoys my company and notices that I’m around.

Addendum: This comic is a good description of how I feel. Minus the sexual aspect.

Work goes okay these days. My brain feels squished against the wall of the Unknown. So I work to tear down the wall and am continually amazed at the sheer height and breadth of said wall. If you’ve never encountered the wall, I would recommend not trying to conquer it.

World of Warcraft continues to drain my free time. I’m paying $15/mo for it so I might as well get my money’s worth from it. It’s a nice break from reality though and a seemingly lesser vice than other avenues I could pursue.

Seemingly. It’s not to the point where I’ve left my wife and abandoned my kids for the sake of my guild “The Righteous Alliance of Knights Who Be Holy and Awesome.” A better guild no man could have. **1**

I watched the first episode of Beauty and the Geek last night. Those geeks make me jealous. They’re true geeks. When asked what “booty” was several of them defined it as being “pirate’s treasure.” One described himself as being a huge hip-hop fan and when told the “ghetto” meaning of “booty” he stated “now the songs make a lot more sense.”

So this’ll be it for now. Have a good night.

**1** please note sarcasm and lack of serious. The guild I’m in is actually called “Knights of the Alliance,” has over 400 members, and sucks at killing horde. If you’re Alliance, you want to be good at killing horde. We’ve got a long way to go. (And it’s not “my” guild, just the guild I’m in.)
