~ While technological advances are certainly a positive quality of life change, it's number 1 ******** that you don't get a physical ticket for most concerts these days. It's also number 1 ******** that most people watch entire shows through their GD phone. Put that **** down and live for a few minutes Ainsley, you ****.
~ Speaking of concerts, the Ozzy farewell show was much better than I anticipated. I was terrified he was going to be a vegetable out there but you could tell the old man still had it. Tony Iommi is one of the coolest people to ever live and the lineup of bands that "opened" for them was basically a who's who in metal. Sharon did her best to ruin the fun in a multitude of ways, but it still turned out pretty well and ended up supporting a good cause.
~ Hawaii on Sunday for 10 days. Kids first time flying ever. One of the few trips where I don't at all have to worry about my wife over packing every damn item in our household. Real ID's made it in the mail today. Brother in law was talking about laying up most of the week, hella false. ATV excursion, zip lines, beaches, observatory, a few days at a Disney resort, luau, drunkenness and hopefully a fair share of incidental debauchery will fill those 10 days.
~ Anyone else just get burnt out existing, as in period? Not just work or kids, but just the tedium that is consciousness? I joke all the time that I would pay a pretty penny to essentially shut down for, say, a week at a time to reboot the batteries. These middle years seem even worse for the long day/short year adage and no amount of switching things up seems to break it. Maybe it'll get better when my kids are a bit older. (I'm not unstable or depressed, just feeling like groundhog day.)
~ I can't at all get excited for a football recruit coming here until I see something different from the coaching staff. I've said it before and I hope it actually happens, but this is probably the worst I've felt about UK football since hiring Stoops and we usually overestimate where they will end up so hopefully that trend stays true and we overperform. I'm not convinced a ****** 4-8 season gets anyone **** canned with Mitch at the helm, so hopefully we pull some upsets.
~ I used to think the titles Rivals listed based on your post count were corny (i.e. All-SEC, All-American, etc.) but now I find myself a little perturbed that there is no difference between Chad's 500k posts and my measly 10k vs someone who just joined. Lame.
Edit : Hell yeah, Irish Beck is dead!
