I skipped the gym this morning, deciding that sleep was far more important. So of course in my extra hour of slumber, I dreamed that i was keeping some sort of giant robot insect in a box in my apartment and that it had gotten loose and was now some where, free in my domicile. Now, normally this would not be an issue except that this guy was big and scary and deadly (so of course I was keeping him in a cardboard box...because I'm 7 and cardboard boxes are super sweet).
Needless to say, the sleep was good.
Strange things happen when I sleep- about a month ago I was woken up and could have sworn my home was being attacked by zombies. As it turns out, people were just throwing eggs at me.
Possibly one of the worst feelings in the world, stemming from a lack of sleep, is the inability to do something you know you're good at. Whether it's work, hobbies, exercise, cooking, whatever...having an off day absolutely sucks. And you know, it's like a slump..sometimes you just have to keep going up there and striking out in order to find your rhythm. Of course, you have no idea how long it could take you to get out of your funk, so sometimes it just seems endless, but in your head, you know things will even out.
Okay, off to work.

Musical recommendation: The Mighty Mighty Bosstones- "Live From the Middle east"

Holy shit!

I know I should post more, but I'm lazy.
Thoughts:
The MASH Unit Mets are going to be alright...it's a long season.
Why do weathermen treat Hurricane season like porn? Seriously, it's like they want to blow their wad on the Doppler. Seriously..people are dying, at least use a condom.
Music is still awesome.
Creepy vendors who show up unannounced and try to ambush your boss are not cool. Don't do this, it makes you a douche.

So We Are The Union...is like New Found Glory + Less Than Jake.
That's right, my favorite band from high school!
Except they're new and amazingly awesome.
They're a band that just makes me smile to the music but feel deep about the lyrics.
Top that with an energy that is just hard to beat, and well, you have a winner for the Alex:

Wow

Just...wow

I am exhausted.
There are some people in this world who need to learn that getting the last word isn't everything.

I love my job.
I don't love all the hours.
Sometimes I wish they had a nap scheduled into my day.
When I say sometimes, I mean all the time.

Don't laugh, I'm completely serious...part 8

I've been back home for four days, and never got to wrapping up my trip.
It was awesome. I think I need a vacation for a little bit though- I am knackered for real.
My car ride play list:
"Suiticide"- Pour Habit
"No Matter Where We Go...!"- Latterman
"Not Without a Fight"- New Found Glory
"Who We Are"- We Are the Union
"Losing Streak"- Less Than Jake
"Somewhere in the Between"- Streetlight Manifesto
"A Lesson in the Abuse of Information Technology"- The Menzingers
"Sink or Swim"- The Gaslight Anthem
"Sam"- The Sidekicks
"Hospitals"-Off With Their Heads
And then I went the the conference. Okay, I actually got lost and played the next two albums, but was so upset because I got lost that I didn't listen and considered them "unplayed."
"C I V I L W A R"- Dillinger Four
"Oh! Calcutta!"- The Lawrence Arms
"Little Brother"- Dead to Me
"Rebels, Rogues & Sworn Brothers"- Lucero
"Los Feliz"-Chuck Ragan

Good times.

It's opening day...let's go Mets!
