I’ve not been playing as much music lately as I normally do.  In fact, this time last year I was playing with Al and the guys.  I’ve got to tell you…there’s nothing like playing live if you’re prepared.  I’ve been listening to a lot of music lately and I was thinking about trying to put together something here in the near future. The reason I was thinking about trying to form it instead of just joining another group is because I’d finally like to have some say in what gets played.  2loud was all about the early late 60’s, early …

My day was productive despite the super long meeting so I need to burn off some energy…which I’m about to do. I’ve gone up 2 intensity levels and it’s been kicking my ass for the past two days and I’m hoping today is the day it becomes a bit easier due to familiarity.  I must sweat a gallon’s worth when I work out and while it’s that much sweat can be gross, it’s a nice barometer of how my work out went. I’ve got plenty of motivation to continue working out hard.  I’m not in the shape I want to be …

I think I’m starting to feel the effects fo the medication I’m taking.  I’m feeling somewhat run down, I’ve got some mild chest congestion and I’m getting what seems like excessive heartburn.  I occasionally get heartburn so I’m not sure if that’s due to the medication or exacerbated by the medication. It should be interesting to see how my workout goes.  I stepped it up yesterday significantly by going up 2 difficulty levels on the elliptical machine.  I’m going to keep trying to work out as long as I can because I’m so close to getting where I want to …

Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that stresses that the author be frugal and very selective in word choice. Traditionally western Haiku and Senryū consist of 3 lines of poetry made of syllabic counts of 5, 7, and 5. Traditional Japanese Haiku requires the use of a Kireji and a Kigo to be considered true to the form. Kireji is a form of verbalized punctuation and since I don’t know Japanese I can’t really give you an example and there is no equivalent in other languages. Kigo refers to a seasonal word which is meant to symbolize the season …

Ok…so I’m usually in my PJ’s by 7pm but last night was an exception. I met a group of friends from work first at The Field and then at Pheonix Landing to see our friend Ed DJ for the night.  We started at The Field around 10 where John joined us.  I’ve worked with John at Abuzz and he worked at Tabblo right before I got here so it was nice to see him again. Around 11 or so we mosey’d over the PL to check out Ed, but the Celtics game was still on TV and the DJ’s weren’t …
