Good Morning! I’ve recently woke up from hibernation and I’m pleased to be with you all again. If you didn’t know I generally hibernate from mid January through February. As a huge fucking bear I basically have no choice.
But seriously folks, here’s some things I’ve been doing:
I’ve been extremely interested in the game of Chess lately. I’ve been playing correspondence Chess with friends and family who are also intrested in Chess as a result. If you’d like to get a game of correspondence chess gong via email with me please contact me. I’m up for a game any time. Here is a photo of me studying up on my endgame strategy.
I went to Florida with my family to surprise my Grandma for her birthday. I thought she was going to be so surprised she peed her pants but It didn’t end up getting that extreme. I saw some dolphins swimming around in the gulf which was pretty amazing.
I’ve been listening to Frank Zappa almost exclusively. I’ve gained access to his discography (which includes a staggering 79 albums) and have fallen in love with his music. Do yourself a favor and pick up as many of his albums as you can get your hands on.
I got a new tattoo. Name Brand Tattoo offers ‘Grab Bag’ tattoos to the brave, broke, and willing. Basically you walk in, pay them $50, draw a tattoo out of a cigar box that’s full of crumpled up pieces of paper, then get the tattoo you drew out of the box. Melissa and I decided to hit it up. Bill Falsetta did the deed and did a fantastic job. I got a fortune telling gypsy woman’s face in profile which I requested a beard be added to. Overall I feel like I was super lucky with this whole experience (I was mentally prepared to get pretty much anything tattooed on my body). Melissa got a griffin with it’s talons digging into a huge slice of pizza, if you’re wondering.
I swear I’ve been up to more than that but it’s all that comes to mind at the moment. I’ve got tons of projects in the works so stay tuned.
