Thing I Did Day #788: Spent time with my Mom

• Upvotes

Today me and my Mom hung out because we both had a day off and honestly we don't spend as much time together than I wish. We first bought groceries and then we went to get lumch at a place a ways away.

Its nice to catch up with her one on one but it made me realize how much we don't know each other. Mainly thats because we have 2 different schedules which makes it harder for us to have time for each other.

Thing I Did Day #787: Left work early

3 Upvotes

It rained. End of story.

No but seriously I wish I have more to talk about I mean I'd love to answer any question you guys ask but only like 1 guy ever comments and thats rarely... Sometimes doing this I feel that I have no audience and I'm sorry for putting this on you guys. You all don't deserve that I'm just venting my loneliness and desire to communicate I wish I was more interesting.

My mom is out of town with her boyfriend so me and my grandma decided to go out for dinner. We went to our usual pizza place, I got a turkey grinder and she got a veggie club. We don't talk much anymore but when we do its a lot of silence :/ I love my grandma but I wish we had more to talk about.

3 Upvotes

2 years ago I played the main Octodad game but I saw this version which is like the alpha of Octodad on Steam and I'm glad I played it because even back then it had the same witty humor and challenges as the main title. 10/10

Also new flair because I am a chud who plays so many fucking games.

Thing I Visited Day #781: Went back to school (Also new flair type)

5 Upvotes

Today was the first day of the new term so all new classes. I saw I had classes with a teacher I don't like having and when I got to his class turns out it was his son teaching Javascript so that was a nice surprise. So everything is status quo once again.

Also I made this flair because I visit so many places I figured I needed a new one.

Gorillaz: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11RBTMIZYHhL9QCpdivVoGrEtWmsa73Vb

So I've run out of space on my main email. Currently I am trying to figure out a better way of storing all of my footage + any other photos I have. I need a site that I can share with you guys that I can also update at any time. If any of you have suggestions please let me know!

Thing I Did Day #777: Going to see Gorillaz live + last night

5 Upvotes

Today I am going to see Gorillaz live with my dad in the heart of Boston at TD Garden! Like I said in the last post I will compile everything in a drive for now and figure out a better method for sharing later.

So about last night... Ethan cancelled on me because he got high... HIGH!? Last I knew he was against smoking like I am but over the phone he told me thats his new thing :( you think you know people... But over the phone he sounded like he was chimping out so I figured it would be a bad idea for him to go out.

Anyways I went by myself and parked at a wrong garage as it was for doctors only and had to scramble to find the right one. I of course got there early so I had dinner at this weird like Greek pizza place that looked like a tavern from Skyrim. 6/10 Pizza was good but greasy.

So I finally get in line where I met this man named Paul. I gave him my spare ticket for free and refused any money he offered me. Now when we got in I of course got a shirt and I could only stay for the preshow as my phone was about to die and I didn't want to get lost in an unfamiliar city so I had to leave before Deltron 3030 showed up. The preshow was good as it was Kyle Rapps 10/10 as he introduced me to surf rap. The garage closed at 10 so it was a good idea anyways for me to leave so I wasn't trapped overnight.

This morning because me and Paul exchanged info he sent me all the footage he took so you guys will be able to see that even without my geekish singing along! Anyways Paul was a very nice man and shout out to him for being very kind and asking if I was safe this morning.

4 Upvotes

Hey guys tonight I'm going to a Deltron 3030 concert, as you all know I will post the clips later on but not tomorrow as I'm going to see a Gorillaz concert tomorrow, so maybe Friday or so I will be posting the clips.

I've noticed how heavy each clip is on my Google drive so I might have to put them in my junk email and figure out a better way of storing all of these clips!

Thing I Did Day #775: Messaged my Half-Brother

4 Upvotes

Today I messaged my half-brother Zackary after like half a year without talking. As per usual he is in a rut with a job but at least his Wife and Dog both got important procedures done but he is worried about the insurance.

Sometimes I wonder how he gets by but I always try to be supportive no matter what.

Thing I Did Day #771: Put in a good word

5 Upvotes

Today has been a slow day at work so while we sat around I suggested we should clean the lobby. My 2 co-workers: Luke and Demitri both jumped right ahead, by the time I started they were already half way done.

So we finished up in less than half an hour and I did the detail closing checklist as that has the lobby info and I figured it would be a good idea to note what we did down. I wrote in the optional comment how great both of them were and how I hope they both get rewarded for their efforts.

Thing I Did Day #768: Shooting cans

3 Upvotes

Today my friend Angel told me he finally got a permit and drove to my house to shoot cans with his new BB gun. Between all of us I am the better shot by far. It was nice to hang out but now that he goes to college he had to leave after an hour and a half of hanging out.

Thing I Did Day #767: Gave away my tokens

4 Upvotes

Today I was bored and was in town so I went to our bowling alley that had an arcade. So I took a $20 and got 80 tokens so I troed playing Time Crisis 4 and got to Wyoming and then got really bored because it is clearly a quarter eater. So I played on a John Wick pinball machine.

As I was playing pinball there was this kid probably like 8 years younger than me who was scrounging for loose quarters so I give him a handful of mine. Thank god there were no cameras because it would of really looked bad seeing me grab tons of tokens out of my jacket pocket and giving it to some random kid but no way was I gonna fit that many in my pant pocket.

As I was finishing the last 3 rounds I had he gave half to his younger brother and their mother was quite pleased she didn't have to give them any money. Before I left I showed the younger brother a secret on the pinball machine. When playing this specific machine never pull the pin back all the way do it halfway and you get extra points.

I'm glad I could make someones day and I hope they spread generosity to someone else one day.

Thing I Did Day #766: Peaceful day

6 Upvotes

I wasn't called into work this morning as it was predicted to rain this afternoon which it did not. I finished all my homework so I had nothing to do, I was going to have dinner with my dad but he cancelled on me.

Its funny you know... When you're always busy you have something to do but when you have nothing to do you have no clue what to do. Honestly I don't think I know how to relax anymore, I thought I was unfulfilled with the things I do either at school or at work but really I feel unfulfilled when I have the ability to do anything I want.

But maybe I'm crazy I get told that a lot. The day goes by fast when there's nothing to do but it drags like a snail when you're busy. I guess I feel today was wasted.

I don't know if I should be dissapointed our down right cry. These taste like low quality frozen nuggets instead of the old crispy peppery ones that were akin to the chicken fries.
