ring

well back in town and things are just cruising along. All set for my trip next week to Tampa to a conference... thank you work for sending me to something interesting for once.

Last week was awesome, got to hang with old friends and my brother, his wife, and my nephew. Then went to one of the best concerts I have ever been to... Marilyn Manson in Atlanta at the Tabernacle. Such an awesome venue and amazing show. Rocked on like a champ, avoided the mosh pit that popped up in front of us, danced with hot women who decided to grope me, and gawked at the beautiful goth/punk chicks that were out in force. Now if the ears will stop ringing... it's been two days for crying out loud.

In other news... Trudging along the simple path right now and just picking little things to focus on. Also I've decided to eat a little better now that the tummy is getting a bit big. Nothing serious just more that what I'd like to be there. Should be able to get it off in a few months though if I'm good. Biggest thing is cutting soda out of the diet or at least reducing the intake. That seems to be one of the big triggers for me.

Still working on book ideas... suggestions welcome but I think I just need to sit down when it hits me and let it flow, worry about an actual train of thought later.

This week also was just shortened for me quite a bit because I am now attending suicide awareness training to learn to recognize the signs and get people help... hopefully something I will never have to actually use but the tool can't hurt. Plus I get to wear civies to work for two days!!!

Well time for chai tea latte and reading... mmmm, so good.
