I am Bloggerman!

So I've been given grief that I don't post on this thing anymore, or at least not as much as I had promised I would. I guess I just haven't had much to say recently. I've been too busy to get absorbed in my own thoughts enough to justify a blog post, and the few spare, fleeting moments I do get to myself are spent reading, or watching one of the dozens of films I'm behind on. I hope to rectify some of this once my busy summer season ends and things return to boring, self-absorbed normalcy. Assuming I can get ahead of the curve on some of the things that need doing around the house, I would really like to take a weekend with a nice bottle of scotch and a full plate of movies to watch. That would be wonderful. Unfortunately we are far too broke to afford shitty beer right now, much less a nice bottle of scotch. I've actually cut way down on my drinking as a result of our finances. Black Santa lefft a case of beer in our fridge several weeks ago, and I haven't even touched it. I feel that it would be too tempting, because I do so like to drink, but I cannot afford to. Better, then, to abstain entirely than tempt myself. I could, and probably should, do the same thing for many elements in my life right now. I should eat less, or at least better, I should swear less around my son, I should be a more present friend, a more patient husband, and I should write fewer shitty songs (I wrote a totally tool-icious riff a few nights ago and I still haven't forgiven myself).

I'll be back later. If I dont manage to post again before then, Toy Devils is playing at sweet water bar in Duluth on 10/1 with FYN and the Sneaky Hand. Please come. It will make me smile.
