Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
Long story short: I caught a team breaking the no phones rule during trivia night last Monday. I ended up DQ'ing them. Word of it got to the owner of the venue, who basically banned me from the place and requested the company send a new host or they were going with another company.
So I currently don't have a gig. My manager agrees with my decision, but the owner of that bar is a terrible person. Whatever comes along next, I'll probably get that.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when word gets around there about how I got ousted. Because I already told a few of the regulars I am FB friends with about what happened.
Does this mean Thunderdome fees just went way up? Seriously tho that is some bullshit. Hope you land in a better place real soon.

UGH my family gave me shit cholesterol genetics. I already exercise near-daily, don't really have weight to lose, I take my omega-3s, have maybe 3-4 beers a week at most, and don't eat like a total shmuck. The result? Triglyceride level of 253. Normal is 0-149. Like fuuuuck do I really have to become an herbivore just to not have a heart attack?

this is notttt me pushing The Vegan Agenda, but given the rest of your lifestyle being that healthy & yet your triglycerides are still that high… maybe try a vegan month (or even just veg but limited on dairy too) and see if they improve?? Some people have had reductions of like 50, 60, 70+ in mere weeks when they try out the veg life. Worth a try!

Big Vegetable‘s guerrilla marketing team is really something.

People who go on and on about wanting to help local small businesses then expect free service in exchange for "supporting" said businesses are just the worst.

"influencers"?
In this case it was just an old lady thinking she should get free stuff.

Sometimes, you’re just having a regular day and something comes along to smack you in the face. My brother posted a memory on Facebook today from four years ago when he had said that he was officially older than our dad ever was. I knew it was coming up for me because I’m turning 42 in a couple of months, but I stopped to figure it out. I’ll hit that milestone on January 2nd. It’s weird. He died 26 years ago, so it’s not news, and while it’s always sad, it mostly doesn’t weigh that hard on me after all this time. But then sometimes, it can still hit so hard, and it did today. Probably it’s the comparison and thinking about my own death, but it’s also just so much that we missed out on.

Hugs. I get this. My dad was 37 when he died. I had a lot of meltdowns as I approached that age. I surpassed it two years ago but it still makes me sad.

Very much relate with you both. I also had mini crises when both of the kids reached the age I was when my mom died.
This isn't 100% grr but posting in here for continuity and because I don't know where else it would go. As I mentioned a while back, I broke up with my gf of 5 years at the end of April. To give some backstory, we started dating in April 2016, and two months later we went to Bonnaroo together (well, we went separately because we were each already planning on going, but we spent most of the fest together). Dead & Co closed Sunday, which she was excited about because she's a huge GD fan. They weren't my thing at the time, but I really enjoyed their Roo set, and it was my entry point into exploring their music. It became something we'd bond over over the next several years, whether it was at concerts or dances with the dog or me playing Terrapin on the guitar while she cooked dinner.
A few weeks after our breakup, Dead & Co announced their fall tour, and I got a pit ticket since it was my first ticket bought since COVID hit. That show was tonight. I show up a bit early so I can see some of the lot scene and what not, and as I approach I see my ex. With her arm around the waist of another guy. Frankly I'm still pretty torn up about the split half the time and she's already seeing someone else. I walked by without making eye contact so idk if she saw me, but it definitely put me in my head for the start of the show.
So that's the grr. But there are sometimes in life when the mysterious poetry it's founded on reveals itself, and this was one of those times for me. It had been raining on and off throughout the evening, and three or four songs in a very well-formed rainbow (and a shadow of a second) appeared in the sky. I had a little bit of edible on the way to the stadium that had just started to kick in as well, and for a little bit I felt the rare feeling I've come to call divine presence wash over me and remind me that the beauty of the world is in its unfolding - and it's all happening as it's supposed to so maybe I might wanna relax a bit. It's cheesy but that rainbow helped reorient me to the present moment enough to enjoy Bobby's hippie gospel for most of the show, and I'm grateful for that.
I eventually ended up getting stuck back in my head on and off (as I often do), but not before they played Terrapin, which I have a really strong connection to and just openly wept during. It was pain and joy and hope and awe and sadness, and it felt good to be moved by music again. Music can be so much bigger than music sometimes.
Now I'm home and tired with tons of material for my therapy session this week, but mostly I just want to say that I'm extremely glad live music is back. I've missed it very, very much.

I’m sorry for the grrrr portion, Jaz. I’m sure you realize this by now but that’s a rebound. She’s more than likely in a messed place and it’s easier to not think about it than cope with those feelings. When I was way younger I remember reading a study that equated getting over someone in calendar days and was the equivalent of 3 weeks to every year you spent together. Obviously everyone is different but I’ve felt that holds true for me. Could also mean the study was full of shit and I’ll pretty gullible.
Just glad you had fun. It could have gone way way worse.
Jaz I'm sorry about the grrr, but I love your story after the rainbow. It's amazing how music can heal us.
3 weeks before thejeremy and I went to riot fest, I found out that my ex of 13 years was engaged to the girl after me. Every single one of my serious relationships married the girl after me. Needless to say had a meltdown, I ended up having to tell Jeremy about the rabbit hole that I went down it that was stalkery and super intense. Their wedding day was TV on the Radio's day to play at riot fest. I got front row in VIP and they sang Trouble, it felt like it was straight to me. It was so cathartic and it was the first time that I've been able to let it go in the weeks. Remember the reasons why we broke up, and that half my exes are divorced and finally wash my soul clean of him, to truly move forward.
I think it's very important to be able to do that. I love that you had that moment and that you have shit to actually work on at therapy. You can't change the past and everything happens for a reason. Now you can look forward with hope and find your path. 💜💜
I think I’m about to lose my friendship with a girl who asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding over this stupid fucking vaccination conspiracy theory bullshit
Jaz That is absolutely awful and i am so sorry. i can relate to that as well, i dated someone for 9 months and they broke up with me saying they needed to take time for themselves only to be dating someone new a month later. However, theres a good chance it was just a rebound, taking the time to heal, do things you enjoy, and waiting for love to come to you is def the best thing do to after a breakup

I'm not doing well today. Went to Costco and home Depot, got everything BUT ice and gas. Gas lines are impossible and barely any places are open. We're still without power. Sewage backed up into the dishwasher today. I'm hot, that doesn't normally happen. I'm aggravated, I'm tired of all the dogs and people in my house. I'm tired of the generator and having to throw away all the food that's going bad and we can't cook fast enough. Plus, we're supposed to be at Bonnaroo setting up camp with a bunch of you wonderful weirdos. I feel like every time I finally get into a good place, everything crashes down. I'm so over everything. I'm hiding from dogs and fans and family in my hot, non-generator connected room just to try and be ok.

That sounds really difficult. I hope you're able to get some peace soon. And some gas!
