Furry mosh pit!

OK GUYS FURRY MOSHPIT

READY SET GO

So yeah I'm working on getting music more involved in this blog. The above song's really good, and the video is very well executed on a technical level. It's an exciting song with an exciting video and people moshing in fursuits just makes me kind of giggle.

I'm still in the middle of a killer writer's block, but I want to overcome that this weekend! Because I have almost nothing planned. Maybe I'll just make a new account on purevolume or something to share my songs on this blog, or... I don't know. Does anyone have any ideas?

Anyway! Time for Monday Night Football. I predict it won't even be a game by halftime, but I have no idea at all who's going to be up four touchdowns.

Have a wonderful evening.

OH MY GOD YES

OMG OMG OMG OMG WE FINALLY FUCKING DID IT!

WHO DEY

Obligatory Sunday Football Blog Post.

Oh man, Bearcats. Heck yes. With all those top 10 teams losing yesterday... Oh it would only sweeten things if the Bengals could get off their Steeler Schneid at 4 today.

Good evening, readers.

I am in a pickle.

Apparently people in my skillset are in demand and also hard to find in Cincinnati right now. I'm stuck at a job I don't particularly like, but I've only been there for three months and I'm afraid if I leave it'll look like I job jump. I got an email from a recruiter listing out all these nice, flashy jobs, but they all say 'Senior' behind the job title and my less than three years of experience is making me question whether it's worth risking my current job interviewing for the others.

Also, there have been hints that I might be taking over my manager's position if he goes and accepts another position. While I don't know how likely this is seeing as my manager is a manipulative snake, I feel like I should at least wait until end of year reviews to see how things go... See if my career path even forks out of my current job, let alone if I should take the road out.

Or maybe there's not supposed to even be a road. Maybe I'm supposed to go off the road. But then again maybe I'm already off the damn thing.

Fuck this road metaphor. I could be letting a serious opportunity pass me up no matter which way I decide to go.

How the hell am I supposed to get more blog followers with posts like THIS

Ssssssthk!

That's the sound my brain just made, just now!

I worked an 11 hour day today and my brain is completely fried. My dad came in (Remember? I live with my parents!) and asked me to work on some dumb fucking wordpress website for something he does on the side and of course I said yes because I am a pushover for my parents. He bought me Skyline chili today, anyway, so okay whatever, right?

And now, inexplicably, I am wired. Still can't get over my songwriter's block though.

Musical Frustration

(Two posts in one day?! ALL ABOARD THE BLOGMENTUM TRAIN CHOO CHOO)

You know, I kind of wanted to make this blog partially about my music, but I'll be damned if I haven't had a terrible case of writer's block in terms of songwriting. It seems like I can throw together some pretty cool riffs here and there but I can never manage to make a full song out of them... And if I do it just happens to sound like early 90's Offspring and doesn't quite fit into the kind of music I want to make. My influences are showing wayyyyyy too much, in other words.

Also, since I'm trying to keep this blog fairly anonymous (beyond a shadow of doubt anyway), I am unsure how to share my music with you. So that's something I'm still gonna have to figure out.

Where are those 90's-era UNDER CONSTRUCTION animated gifs when you need them? My blog is in need of pizzaz. 

...Mm. Now I'm suddenly in need of pizzas.

I'll take it!

Okay, been clutching at my chest ever since the final gun. It's still beating. 31-24 Bengals! WHOOT.

Countdown to Cincinnati Football Disappointment... 7 days and counting!

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Wonder where UC will be ranked NOW.

Current Cincinnati Football Psyched Level: High

Countdown to Cincinnati Football Crushing Disappointment: T minus less than 13 hours and counting...

Blogmentum

Hey y'all. It's hump day at Blogging Is Still Honest, which means nothing at all so happy Wednesday.

Alright! So I figure on occasion I should put some culture in this here godless bloggerverse.

Everyone who reads this blog should listen to The Process of Belief, an album by Bad Religion. It'll change your life.

If you must skip most of the album, at least listen to the songs "Sorrow" and "The Defense."

Post your feelings in the comments section!!

S (s, s, s) A (a, a, a) F (f, f, f)...

E (e, e, e) T (t, t, t) Y (y, y, y) Safety (safe, safe, safe) Dance! (dance, dance, dance)

Okay so I was having an outrageously bad day, but on my way home I was listening to the radio and the mother fucking SAFETY DANCE came on. I have no idea how one is capable of having a bad day while listening to the Safety Dance. Take off your hats for the Men Without Hats!

So yeah. I've been at my job for nearly three months now and I already kind of hate it. I don't want to go into too many specifics because hey. You never know who else has caught on to this WWW thing. Could be my boss! I heard he has a Facetwitters.

In any event, I have reason to believe that I could move up the ladder relatively quickly at my company but at the same time I don't know if moving up the ladder will make me any happier, or what kind of things I'd have to do in order to do so. Now, I'm all for my career being boosted, but I'm not at the point where I'm ready to sacrifice my dignity to do so -- I've already been micromanaged on how I need to suck up more at this company (among other things), and that kind of makes me ill.

Whatever. There's a Metallica concert tomorrow and I'm super upset that I'm not going. But after you've seen Metallica twice from far away you need to see them up close and I am not ready to shell out that kind of cash for a concert right at this point in time.

Well, that's all for today. Monday Night Football starts soon, but I doubt I'll be up to see the finish of Chargers/Raiders. Let's just hope Philip Rivers explodes tonight; I think if he gets 25 points without throwing touchdowns to Gates I'm in the clear for my fantasy league.

Oh and P.S. Thanks to Gauss Jordan of Augmented Identity for linking to me. Hopefully y'all find me at least a little interesting. I'm just getting in to the momentum of blogging (which will henceforth be known in this blog as blogmentum) and can use any tips to help make me more readable.

Rather cathartic, this.

Bengals

Dudes, wtf.

Cincinnati Football

Whewt!

70-3 poundings of FCS schools make me a happy camper. I felt like I was a Florida fan for a second.

Also, both OSUs lost! Hooray! The Ohio State/USC one a good game, though. Definitely glad I got to catch the second half. I still can't believe Oklahoma State lost to fucking Houston. That cracks me right up. Ah well.

So yeah, between the Cincinnati high schools and the University of Cincinnati, I wonder if it's going to have a positive effect on the Bengals. I guess we'll find out tomorrow. Who-Dey! and good night.

A little background

Alright, as some of my readers (working on getting more of those. How?) probably already know, I live with my parents again.

Note the word 'again' in there. It's not like I still live with my parents. I moved out for college, and now that I've finished up I moved back in until I can save up enough money for a house of my own.

It's really not all that bad. Basically free room and board, free food, two full rooms of my own... All I've got to do is pay car insurance and not be a disturbance. If only I weren't, you know. Living with my parents.

Okay so the point here is I'm stuck living with my parents and that has obvious downfalls... e.g. I'm around all the time for them to nag and bug me all they want, which they couldn't do while I was in college. I've been living here since the first of the month and I'm already getting antsy to leave. Anyone who ever said once you move out from your parents', moving back in is near impossible was right. One of the reasons I have this blog is so I don't explode. I have to play the politics game with my own parents.

Next episode: Either music, hobbies, or work. I don't know. 

Dear Mother,

This is just survival.

Hey, everyone... Or no one, I guess, right now. This is my blog. I've never blogged before. I feel like I'm 9 years old again and getting on an AOL chat room for the first time, except this time I'm only talking to myself and my parents aren't watching over my shoulder to make sure I'm not talking about touching pee pees.

A little about the blog title I guess. It's from a song called Walking is Still Honest by Against Me!. The double punctuation isn't a mistake; there's actually an exclamation point at the end of the band name. Agh, this gives you some insight as to why I need a blog -- I'm practically overexplaining my punctuation before anyone's even complained or even read the fucking blog to have a reason to complain. This is my psyche. This is my life. In any case, it's a good song and everyone should give one of the versions of it a listen.

This'll probably be about anything I have on my mind that I consider worth telling the ether[net?] about. Er, about which I consider worth telling. Is grammar really that important in blogs? Someone let me know.

I won't tell you my life story, or even my current state. After all, I've got to have something to blog about in the next post, right?

So, potential readers! Your assignment for tonight is to teach me how to blog. Am I doing alright? Let me know. Seeya!
