2015 199

Went to the Dr to set up my next butt scope. Yay!

Listening to my favorite College football podcaster interview head coaches means it's getting closer to kickoff.

Two thirds of the faces the Pens put on the ice this season will be different from last. Eighteen games will be carried by NBC 12 of those exclusively. That sux as NBC hockey coverage is the pits.

Recording Comic Addiction tonite, Previews episode. Nope not tonite the fluid scheduling has hit again.

Excellent 3 days. Lotsa good cool food. Plenty of time with Chef Teri. Good times.

2015 197

Teri wants to put all the comics I don't want up on Ebay and she said she would take care of it. We put 3 listings up today so lets see how it goes.

Checking my messages haven't personally heard from Mike in over a month.

Recorded a Dance Fevre today 175 to be exact.

Finally getting to catch a UFC card live but still have plenty to catch up on.


2015 196

We apparently have been doing well with our working out as all measures were down for body and up for workout.

New couch is ok so far.

2015 195

Got our new couch today. Gonna take some getting used to but way comfy.

Work out, yuck.

Thursday, July 23, 2015

2015 194

Last work day until 7/30. Which is a good thing.

Comic book day.

New couch should arrive tomorrow, finally.

I miss Huntington. I wonder if it would be cost effective to move there when we retire of if we could even enjoy what they have to offer by then.

The internet everywhere in our area has been FUBAR'd paired with iTunes iPad app not downloading correctly has me bout to pull all my fucking hair our.

2015 193

It sure is cool to find out your underage son has tattoos, pierced ears and colored their hair all from social media pics. Rather insulting to know they don't have the respect, courage or what the fuck ever they need to say anything in person. That's ok in about five weeks, I'm fuckin done.

Both of them want to treat me and my feelings like shit they can make their way in the world like the adults they are so fucking bent on being. I now they will be in touch when they need something.

Just more and more being hammered home that a particular phase of my life is coming to an end despite any input from me. Millions before and many more after will journey the same so all I can do is ride the ride.

The logical conclusion of recent concerns of 'marginalized' creators and tapping into their particular sensibilities to create comics as described by the 'vocal minority' aka 'social media warriors' means that only white cishet middle aged males should create Captain America and no one is qualified to create a Vision comic. Does that about sum it up?

2015 192

Dang we missed the Glen Miller Orchestra yesterday afternoon. Chef Teri was majorly disappointed.

New week at work.

New workout routine.

SO You Think You Can Dance and comics for the rest of the day,

Monday, July 20, 2015

2015 191

Ditto

2015 190

Looks like it's a catch up on MMA and comics kinda weekend.

2015 189

Recorded Comic Addiction 126 last night, just Chris and I. Felt cool. Not really familiar with Peter yet so I'm still antsy with him on. I know It'll just take some time.

Workout today last time for the week, curious what Keith will want from us.

Day is majorly dragging by.

Chef Teri wants to eat out tonite...curious where we will end up.

2015 187

New comic book day.

It's funny to me with my desire for little to no human contact beyond a select few how much I enjoy getting podcast feedback. I get almost giddy from it.

As a corollary to the above I'm surprised by how unmoved I am by negative feedback.

I've been slacking on my Star Trek fiction sim. That's not cool considering I said I would participate/ It's just hard to motivate when others have as well and you need their input to advance the story.

Very disappointed that I have seen nothing on Social Media about the Top Cow Kickstarter but the Archie one was criticized into being pulled by Archie.

Bat Boy is going to be a youtube series. Filmed in WV like Mountain Monsters only with BAT BOY!!!

Managed to record a LoO about the new Dr Fate issue.

2015 186

Man I am feeling very down this morning and I truly am getting tired of feeling this way at all. Not sure why but I need to change up something.

Watching Twitter this morning I found three new comic book based podcasts. That's cool, one of which I want to listen to.

More family stuff tonite. Ugh. No end in site until next week. July is now officially my least favorite month of the year. Too much having to deal with what other people want.

2015 185

It was kinda fun yesterday watching Chef Teri check on something she had boasted about. She had made the comment to an acquaintance that visited us yesterday that she (Chef Teri) had all the Pepe LePew Hallmark Christmas ornaments. After checking she realized there were a couple she did not have and went in search of them. One was acquired and two others are pending. It's always fun using my Google Fu for good.

 Cool up to 79 podcasts recorded this year already. I believe that works out to be about two a week. Not bad for a hobby.

Got all canned shows edited and posted but realized that trying to do that while watching So You Think You Can Dance doesn't work out very well as my ire was well on the way to uncontrollable levels.


Sunday, July 12, 2015

2015 184

Finished up my Lords of Order set. Left room for two episodes for the two new issues that will come out next.

Thorcast in the can as well today.

Tripped to the mall and picked up the requisite Hallmark Christmas ornaments today.

Refreshing when one son detests your presence and the other does things you have expressly asked that they not do. Yeah the joys of being a fucking parent abound.

Visit from Nick and Destiny was cool.

Watched UFC 189 and finished the evening with episode one of Gerry Anderson's UFO.

2015 183

Yucky family thing is over all is as it was.

Got a few Lords of Order in the can, felt good.


2015 182

I think I'm too tired. Having a hard time keeping my mind at bay and am really focusing on some sad shit.

Monday after work had a kinda momentary breakdown and lamented not having the relationship with my oldest son that we used to have.

daddy rice
fish sticks
the dragonflys
capri sun
Ninja Warrior
Nickelodeon cartoons
Little Bear
Mike's bear with the tag
Huntington/Dr Fox/St Mary's Hospital
colic
Little League baseball
rec league basketball
Dudley primary playground
being double promoted at Melrose
Pokemon

Now the things I can't seem to remember are really bugging me. Used to be I could laugh it off but not lately. It's more than just leaving myself notes when I can't remember things about my sons.

I'm thinking about trying, once again, to do comic book reviews. I've tried in the past and I guess it just doesn't interest me enough to keep doing it, with that in mind not sure why I keep wanting to try.

2015 181

Tired, sleepy, sore...I'm glad we're working out 3 times a week. Yeah not.

I listen to many, many podcasts and with almost every episode at some point I wonder what motivated a host to say something they said.

So many young female dancers that are on Afterbuzz have speech patterns that annoy the piss out of me. Drawing out of syllables is the top pissed offer.

I think it's time to do away with the rebel flag. The racists overtones I don't agree with but I do agree that flying the flag of a rebellious defeated subset of the country makes no sense. You lost - deal with it. I live in WV south of the Mason Dixon by the way.

Recorded Comic Addiction tonite and then collapsed.

2015 180

Another workout day. Our new workout is between 90 and 105 minutes. Never figured I could stay focused that long but I guess I can for that.

Comic Book Day!!! and Comic Addiction recording tonite.

Dang missed the American Ninja replay last night because we wanted to watch a couple episodes of Castle, which were entertaining.

Curious. NYSE stopped trading and no one on social media said anything other than news outlets. I guess folks don't fully understand the worldwide economic impact of that happening.

Add to that United Airlines and China's market problems...wonder what is going on economically oh and Greece for that matter.

Wow lots of anti-Christian vitriol from a gay man on FB. Being older it bothers me not at all. Younger I would have pushed my point.

Looks like I'm gonna get picked up for the next season of fantasy MMA on Tapology.


2015 179

This week is stretching my good vibes. Chef Teri has some family obligations that are not cool for married people to play with. Nothing major just annoying.

45 seconds with my estranged oldest son. Been quite a while since a situation felt that awkward.

Tuesday, July 7, 2015

2015 178

New work week.

Gym day as well.

So You Think as fuel for Dance Fevre 175 tonite. Looking at stuff we may reach episode 200 by the end of the year.


Monday, July 6, 2015

2015 177

Lazy Sunday.

Ancient Aliens on the tube while reading Chariots of the Gods.

2015 176

Chef Teri's birthday today. Got some stuff but nothing really cool. Hope she digs it.

More BOOM!with Kaiju on the tube.

Excellent day, I hope Chef Teri's was as well.

Saturday, July 4, 2015

2015 175

After 10 years at Radio Shack and being a manager when I have A/V problems I feel like an utter moron.

New work out almost all arms, not sure what Keith is after but...ok.

Kaiju marathon on El Rey for the holiday weekend.

2015 174

The past week or so we have tuned into GI Joe, Transformers and Jem and the Holograms in the mornings. Much 80's nostalgia.

It's fundamentally difficult to not take something personally and wilt slightly when some aspect of your person or persona is made fun of repeatedly in group settings. Being proud of who you are and where you are from sounds good on paper but the execution is far more difficult. I think that ability is very much age related.

2015 173

Comic book day.

It's pretty sad that Monday (start of work week), Friday (end of work week) and Friday (payday) are the only work references in my lexicon.

Met with Nutritionist and it was pointless for the most part.

Wednesday, July 1, 2015

2015 172

Not sore after the new workout, not sure if that's good or bad.

Recording Comic Addiction tonite gotta get some thoughts together.

American Ninja warrior, Felice Herrig just flat out embarrassed herself on there sad. All she had to do was watch the folks that had gone through before to see how to get past the obstacle.

Bed time ciao.

2015 171

Two days off from work and working out and both are over the same day. I think I now understand why so many people hate Mondays.
