This Is The Latest I've Been Up Since...

...my bachelor party. Which was actually just me and my groomsmen at the apartment playing video games and drink a bunch of Mountain Dew.

So why so late tonight. If your mind has gone to the gutter, then you should you should be ashamed. My darling, beautiful, and pregnant wife has been in bed since we got home from dinner with our friends. It takes a lot out of you when you're grow another person. What was I doing?

Me and Jen have a spare room the houses, for the most part, the extra junk that we've brought with us to our home. My musical things live in the guest room, as does Jen's crafty (and other assorted) things.  Lately, and frequently that particular room is a particular mess. I pull things out and play around while Jen adds to her assortment. Other than more space, that room was in much need of some organization. Hopefully I accomplished some of that. I basically just separated our things. Musical things here, and crafty-ish things there. Jen will most likely hate it. Oh well, I tried. In addition to cleaning, I also worked on a guitar, rearranged my pedalboard, and wrote a lullaby for my soon-to-be born baby.

Night has come, look where we are

I just want to say that I love you

1000 times brighter than a star

and so close I can hug you

Go to Sleep my baby

Go to sleep my baby

Close your eyes and sleep tight

You are in good arms tonight

Go to sleep my baby

Go to sleep my baby

Everything is gonna be alright

When  you close your eyes and sleep tonight

Not ground breaking or anything, but I want to write some simple lullabies and record them. When we find out if we are having a girl or boy I want to use our baby's name in the songs. I want them to have some unique and personal. I can't wait for this little kid of ours.

Rockin Awesome Life...

...is now the name of this blog. I only thought it appropriate because it is the address of the blog. I actually started a web page with the same name, but have pause development on that. I barely have time it keep up this blog much like a website right now. The name came about because thats what I lead. I pretty Rockin Awesome Life. It also had a kind of hidden spiritual meaning. The word awesome actually means to be other worldly, to be not of this universe. So if something awesome is other worldly, maybe even 'holy other', then a awesome life would be life from this other world. I like to think of it as the life that we have given to us by God. It's kind of a stretch but work with me.

Today at work I kept thinking about blogging. I don't know why but it seems that I get into blogging sometimes more than other. Obviously I can get out of the habit and skip a month in between blogs. But I hope not to repeat that. But now there is a new twist. I think I've mentioned my second blog. The one that I intend to write a store in. I think the url is www.undeadlovestory.com if that link doesn't work i'll try to fix it later. Now there is a third blog. One that I hope to discus  musical things. I enjoy reading about music gear and what works and what doesn't. I would like to contribute to the conversation by making a place where I can voice my honest opinion about the tool of the trade that I use on a nearly daily basis. This url should be www.theuglyguitartruth.com check it out if you think you may have interest. I like to talk technical, or as technical as I can get. Hopefully I explain everything understandably well.

Can't wait for Saturday at 4pm. I'll be off work and head to Church. Oh, and I'll have a new pedal in my arsenal. Its just a volume pedal, but its something that i've wanted to add for some time. The pedal is a modtone. I have one of their wahs and a chorus by them. They haven't let me down yet and they are reasonably priced. I bought it over amazon. One of the best places to check prices. (shameless plug I know, but its the truth)

I think this is enough rambling for one blog. I'm slightly distracted because I have pizza sitting just a few feet from me and I can't eat and type. Let me remedy that.

Later...

Long Day

Today I got up a little earlier. Actually thats kind of a lie. I woke up at six, but I didn't get out of bed till 6:30. I did however go to work a full hour earlier. I punched the clock at 7:08. Do the math kids... I went from work to my folk's house. Saw the old room. It didn't look like mine anymore. It was pretty much to same as I left it, but I guess everything is switching over in my head. It's cool though. I like the place and I dig the independence. Work has been killer. Got a good ten hours in today. This next check ought to be massive.

My grandmother gave Jen, my fiance and I a little bit of money as a wedding gift. Honestly I felt a little guilty taking it, but if you've read the last blog then you know my situation with money. I'm rather sick of computers because I work them all day, but they are the only source of entertainment around here since the tv isn't hooked up. Even if it were we don't have much of the way of seating. Reminds me of an episode of the office were Mike mentions his tiny flat screen tv and says that he stands there and watches hours of tv. I think the best thing about watching tv is the fact that you are sitting and being a bum. Lately the best thing about watching tv is that I sit there and be a bum with my fiance.

I unpacked a box today. I like to feel like I'm doing my part around here. Jen has done so much, but sometimes, at the end of the day, I don't feel like being productive. I have to fight my lazy ways and help out around here... said the man typing on the computer while his fiance currently cleans. Oh well... Looks like she's done, gotta go
