I’ve slacked on my hobby of playing guitar (can you slack on a hobby?)… and decided to spend some time this morning playing around with the digital loop pedal and drum machine… Put together a little jam, and then recorded it onto my phone. The sound quality is crappy, maybe I’ll find some software on the cheap that will let me put the tracks together properly and cut out all of the crappy notes.
Here’s the raw cut, no polish:
I bought a Harley a week or so ago and so far, I love it. It’s a 2008 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Low with a few custom add-ons: Vance & Hines slip on pipes, fairing, touring sundowner seat, and chrome crash bars. Rides great, feels great, sounds great, looks great.. etc. Definitely not going to be taking on any passengers for a while, as I’m not down with the responsibility, and I’m reminded by everyone (except my parents) that I’m going crazy for having bought it. I think I may have finally bought something that will convince my dad to come down and visit 🙂
I went rock-climbing last weekend at Vertical Edge… AWESOME. Definitely can’t wait to go back. It is awesome to be a situation where the only limitation is yourself.. You see other people doing an orange wall with ease, and you’re standing there on a green, clinging to the wall, feeling stuck, with no idea on which direction you should take… and then BAM! it hits you to try something a little bit differently, and it makes all the difference in the world. Can’t wait to get some gear and hit a real wall! The fortunate thing about Vertical Edge is that I can belay some kids for a few hours on the weekends, and then I get a free pass for a couple of days of climbing…. Guess what I’ll be doing this weekend ?
A buddy of mine (drummer in this video – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy4MEPJ7npo) sent me a video of this guy who does free climbing and when he gets to the top, he base jumps… definitely look forward to the day that I have the hutzpah to try it out.

Most insurance policies provide coverage for claims arising from a loss that occured during a policy period. When I say most insurance policies, I mean to say all that I can think of with the exception of health insurance.
For example. If you are in a car accident, but your policy lapses 2 days later. That accident is covered. They are responsible to pay for the damages, medical bills, etc.. (all within your limits of course!)…. but it doesn’t matter that you no longer have insurance with them. You paid for coverage during that period of time.
Liability insurance?… you betcha 🙂 They are responsible to for any claims stemming from incidents that occurred during your policy effective dates. If I have liability insurance for two years, and then I switch companies. If a claim comes up for something that happened during the time I had insurance with the first company (lets say someone waits a few years to sue me..) then the company I had coverage with at that time is responsible.

Enjoying the long weekend… I’ve been trying to update Facebook – if you want to connect, I added a friendfeed widget to my sidebar, set-up the new stereo.. and I went to a Conservatory.

I’m getting ready for my first day back at the office in a week… Vacation was awesome. I’m so happy that I got to spend time with my parents and some of the family. Most importantly, I had time to relax.
My back is feeling a lot better. Bought some Birkenstocks from Sole Sensations in Bloomington, In.. wow, that place is awesome. Buy a pair of shoes, and they have a specialist (the place is owned by a retired MD) that checks out your weight distribution, foot size/shape, and then custom builds an insole.. for free. I’ve always known that I had funny flat feet, but its nice to know that I can accommodate them without going to a great expense.
ttfn.. gotta go to work.
So I’ve decided to take an interest in blogging on this site.. I’m even thinking about importing my myspace blog from early college days.. would be funny. I’ve gone through the phases of write, enjoy it for a bit, get bored. I think the biggest difference this time is that to me, my life is pretty exciting. I truly enjoy life, the people I’m surrounded by, etc. etc…
It’s so easy to sit down and reflect on the day. Certainly I have my stuggling moments.. like today for instance, it’s my last day in the office for a week. Busted my ass to try and get everything done.. FAIL. So tomorrow I go in extra-early so I can get a few things wrapped up before my Dr. appt with the Osteopath…
So, I fell through my buddy’s ceiling on Sat. OUCH! Caught myself before I fell completely through, but did not avoid sizeable damage. How do you fall through a ceiling.. well.. Monday, I went to a 6am cycling class, and aftwards, my right leg was numb from the mid-thigh down.. feel slowly trickled down until now only my foot remains “asleep”.. (original reason for Dr. appt.). Now my everything minus my face is in pain.
I picked up a Bose Acoustimass surround sound system off of ebay for a good deal. Now I’m hooking everything up, and I’ve run into 2 1 problems.
Seriously though, I have no idea.. wtf?
Okay… so I thought it would be a good idea to give you an update on what I have done to solve these problems.
