instant ='s yucky!

sometimes decaf just makes sense.

Right now is one of those times. I don't feel tired at all, have had two cups of coffee earlier in the day, and I'm hoping it's getting close to bedtime for me. Still, I want to write and often when writing, there is nothing like a cup of good coffee. Unfortunately for me, good coffee means brewing a pot, which means caffeinated coffee, cause really, who actually buys decaf beans?

I've been a grind and brew my own guy for awhile and the difference is not such that I can no longer enjoy “fast food coffee” but drinking shit, and paying to drink shit, just doesn't seem to make much cents to me... See what I did there? Of course you did, you're so smart!

tonight has been filled with nostalgia. I've been listening to music from the 90's, stuff I either heard to and from one of the awful fucking jobs I had or things that were either the soundtracks of dorm room conversations or even possibly bar room anthems. At any rate normally my nostalgia is accompanied by somewhat of a sense of sadness, loss or ennui.

Tonight there was none of that. I listened to music that reminded me of people and places who have helped make me who I am today. I've taken something from everyone I've met and all the places I've gone. I hope in most cases, I was able to give something back as well. You see, I like to think of myself as a giver.

Note to self: decaf coffee crystals are awful!

Lot of work coming up in the next few days. Can't say I'm looking forward to it either. Today is really my only day off this week and as far as accomplishing anything, I can't really say I got anything done. However, I have come back here, a place I've been neglecting, and to sit down and just bang out a post about what seems to be the boring minutia which makes up my life, just feels good and right. I did jack russell shit today. Watched Inglorious Bastards and oddly enough liked it. I don't normally care for Tarantino but found this film enjoyable.

Tomorrow, with my ipod being up and running again, it's time to head back to the gym in the am. Gotta get a good sweat & burn on early in the morning. Then it's shower, cook something and go to work. Hopefully there will not be time to run to home depot, staples and bed bath & beyond, as those are activities for people over 30, who enjoy being lame...oh wait, that could very well be me.

time to dump this dreck in the sink and go read a zombie book.

I hope you all are well.

Cheers,
JJ
