11:10 PM
Hello. I was just watching Facebook reels. Until uh, the thing glitched out with the ad. With an ad and I just said, fuck it. Because that’s happened about 3 times tonight.
And I’m just fucking all off. It’s not like important.
I’m watching video game playthroughs Mega, Man. And uh, Some dude keeps popping up, he makes these top 10 lists. And when I found myself watching, like, I’ve watched a bunch of them but then it’s like he’s doing the Atari and the television games. In television.
Yeah, and television.
The int television gaming system. Sure. And it’s like,
Those games looked so stupid and they were I remember downloading an emulator because when I was a really little kid 1 of my cousins, had an Atari. And I thought when I was like 4 or 5 years old, I thought that was like the most awesome thing. I never got to play it enough to realize it sucked.
So when I was older, I got into emulation, thanks to my friend, Tom. In the mid 90s. Yeah. Like 96 97 when it was first starting to take off, um, they were still like They couldn’t it was like the big thing back. Then was trying to find trying to make an emulator for the NES that would run Dragon Warrior 4 You know and uh I think you couldn’t get 1 that would run Dragon Warrior 3 either for a long time. I can’t even remember when that first 90. 8, maybe 1998. When that first came out with an emulator that would run Dragon Warrior 3.
Uh, gosh, there was so much crap back then that I have forgotten.
And then I just remembered, you know, Um, But I downloaded some Atari emulators.
You know, different ones to try them out and all the games I was like dang these games suck ass especially for the fucking 2600 and then the in television games were a little bit better but
You know, really?
Video games like Home. Console video games, didn’t get good until, uh, The NES. I mean, people might argue with that there were actually some decent games I guess for the Atari, but
You know, the PC games were pretty good in the mid 80s, I think the KO vision. The not the KO Vision the fucking Comet or 64. Yeah. Really?
I guess it’s just not going to pick anything up. I don’t know why. I thought the KO vision. I don’t know, it’s not going to pick that word up.
Commodore. 64. Okay, It picked that up. Picked it up that time.
Um,
I had some better games but I never got into any of that shit. I had a Tandy 1,000
Back in those days and I played space Quest.
And that was my computer for a long time until
Shit like 1994. Maybe I got this. Uh, 486 it was an SX 40, which was not top of the line.
My friend, Tom had a 486 DX2 Uh, 66 MHz that would run Doom like at a really high frame rate, uh, resolution
A really high resolution with a good with a decent frame rate. Yeah, there we go. Um, and then I got another computer. I got a gosh in 1996. I think it was a Pentium 2.
Was it a Pentium 2? Or was it the Pentium? Uh, Maybe it was.
It was uh, 166 megahertz was that that computer though?
Yeah, it was and then I got another 1 in 1999 and that was I think
I forget, wow. I can’t believe I forget, I forgot that stuff but that was like all the computers back then though you know every year or 2 I don’t know if it’s I think it it’s not as crazy as it was in the 80s and 90s like something new and way better would come out about every year. You know, the in the 80s, you had the 80888
Uh, which the 10 do you 100,000? That’s handy. 1,000 used. The Tandy.
Yeah, I don’t know. I haven’t have they even updated this app like, since the last time I’ve used it regularly? I don’t know. What I’m trying to say. Um, Within, they had the 286. And I can’t remember when that came out sometime in the mid late 80s like 86 or 87 and then the 386 came out. And 486 came along and then the Pentium came out. And it had the penny to Pentium. Too. And then, Fucking.
I’m not really sure after that. Yeah, because I stopped keeping up with computers.
I, I lost interest in it. I got uh, got into music more. And got into like art and music and doing that stuff and I moved in with my ex-wife and I just completely, I forget, I forgot.
But I want to say, though, the jump there at the late 90s in the early 2000s was exponential, it was insane. Yak because it took some pretty powerful shit compared to like I built a couple of computers in the early 2000s that were H, I forget I’m afraid to say what they were because I’ll I’ll be wrong. I’ll have to like check
Oh gosh, I mean it’s not hard to build a computer.
But I did it because it was cheap. I don’t because I was like
Just so I could play like Battlefield. Uh 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam. I built a computer just so I could play Battlefield
Vietnam. Yeah. In 2004. And that computer carried me through until my ex-wife and I got married In 2006, and I think, We got a really good 1 then and I forgot what it was too.
I think it was a gigahertz though. Yeah. Something like that.
What was the pennium number then?
I don’t remember. Yeah, I just don’t fucking I plain ass. Damn, don’t remember because then I got into, um, music production and stuff. And I just, I lost interest in, keeping up with computers because I kept up with them, mostly like that with the hardware and shit because of games.
And I have sacrificed a lot of my brain capacity of like knowing and stuff like that for creativity.
It’s kind of funny. I’m like functionally retarded now but I can come up with some really like funny songs, you know, off the top of my head, And then I, I came up with so many songs this year. But um, I’ve been. Been playing music. Well, I did that once I’ve been Talking to my friend Peter about doing music stuff and I sent him a bunch of crap so he could practice it. And he thinks he found a drummer. So, and the drummer has a place to practice indicator. So maybe that’ll turn into something indicator, Alabama. Indicator. The town of Dakar. Dakar.
Decator Alabama. I guess so. Yeah. I don’t know what’s going on with this app since the last time I used it.
Which has been
On regularly, I guess, I haven’t.
Used this app, and About a month.
And Brittany’s still pecking on my other blog. Yeah, she doesn’t peck on this 1. She pecks on my other 1.
About once or twice a week, I don’t know.
I posted a video of me and Peter playing the demonita song and, uh, She pecked on my blog then.
I guess as if to say that she saw it, I don’t know.
Um, But it doesn’t.
It doesn’t mean shit to me, you know? So much But I know as soon as I get out and start playing and like stuff regularly, which I’m fixing to I got next week and then I’m off for a week and a half until the beginning of the year. And then I’m going to do a bunch of shit then. But um,
Trying to see what else.
Time I posted uh, regularly
See, I guess see on Monday last Monday, then I didn’t post. The one before that was Thanksgiving.
I think the post before Thanksgiving was the about a week.
Or so, before Thanksgiving that Monday, I posted and that was the last time I posted regularly. I was posting like pretty much every day.
Until then I just, I don’t know after that post. I made about helmet girl. I was just like, whatever. You know, I’m just blabbing about the same old crap. But um, Yeah, just watching all those reels and stuff today made all that crap fire off in my brains. Because when I was a kid, I didn’t know what I really wanted to do with my life. I was like, well either I want to do music. Or I want to get into like technology stuff like computers or something mostly computers. And I did, I was like a computer expert when I was a kid. And, uh,
Was funny. Yeah, I was like
Oh, that makes me want to look up like
Oh shit. I just I can’t remember. You know, it’s funny like I used to talk to my dad and stuff, you know, back in the day, when I was like a teenager and in my 20s and everything and he’s like, I just can’t plain ass. Fucking remember shit that happened, 30 years ago and then it hits me and it’s like, you know, all that crap was 30, you know, 25 30 fucking years ago, 20 years ago, My ex-wife and I got married 19 years ago. You know, almost 20 years ago and, uh,
Shit, like we would be together 25 years if we were still together.
Just trying to put that into perspective, you know, but it’s crazy how I had this like really normal life. It was it was the most normal shit. I mean I was weird you know but like
My life was so fucking normal until the divorce and then it was
The opposite of normal. And it still is, it’s stable, but it’s not normal by any means, but it wasn’t stable for a while either. This is the most stable, my life has been. Since the divorce.
Oh, my brains. Is this looking this shit up? I know I haven’t made like regular posts. This is probably going to be a long post.
But I’ve been converting, I converted a lot of my songs from C standard because I like the nylon string guitar. I love how it sounds and I love how it plays and I’ve been playing the shit out of it since I got it a month ago. And um, what’s so funny? Is the neck is so fat. And uh it’s just totally different type of instrument than I’m used to, I’m used to playing it now. So when I go back to my other guitars and stuff, the necks are so tiny.
They seem so tiny here and it’s funny.
I want to say, I had a pentium 3 in 1999, but let’s check.
Because they apparently they did away with pentiums in 2023 and I didn’t know that.
Oh yeah. Gosh, that was the internet.
Where did the penny in 3?
I guess it was a pentium 3 in 1999. Yeah. It was.
Dang, a Pentium, 3. I did have the Pentium 2. In uh, 1997.
Okay, so I was right about that and then I got a Pentium 3 and then what was the other 1?
I guess it was the dual core. I don’t know.
Fuck. I don’t even know what I got in my laptop now. But it works, you know, I don’t even know how much RAM I have. I think 8 gigabytes
But I don’t know. Yeah, probably should power my laptop up. I haven’t used it in about a month.
But I’m on night shifts and uh God this week just kicked my ass. That’s the 1 thing. Like the last
11:27 PM
Shit, really the whole time. I’ve had this job. I was going to say like the last couple of months seemed like it’s just kicked the shit out of me. But uh fuck I guess it has this whole time. But um, I got up earlier. I wanted to work on music, I wanted to go to my storage unit so I could be like Really loud and crazy and I was feeling. Antisocial, I guess and introverted. I mean like extra introverted. Earlier, uh, it’s all went out and I got food and stuff and then it just hit me. I was like, I just need to go back to sleep. Yeah.
I’m never getting enough, rest. Because I always want to do stuff like, uh, Yeah. Cuz I work so much.
That’s the hardest. Job I’ve ever had. Um when I worked at Honda like I would be tired and shit but not like I am. Working at this damn job. It’s like what the fuck?
I’m just so tired of like earlier when I got up and got around and Went out for food and shit I was like, why am I so tired? But I went back to sleep for a couple of hours and woke up and I feel okay. Now But I have a whole bunch of shit to do tomorrow. So I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to manage my time. Like do I want to go back to sleep? That’s not going to happen right now though because I’m awake but I could go out and play music in the garage. Probably get me some more food somewhere. But I do have a can of tamales and I really should save my money.
For tomorrow with the kids because I don’t have a lot.
I get paid this week, this coming week and uh, that’s going to Have to get me through until I get paid again at the end of the year.
But yeah, I don’t know, it’s really funny.
I guess I could stay up and play music for a while until I get tired and then come back up here and go to sleep up here to my room. It’s up. It’s upstairs and uh the garage, you know, it’s down the stairs and um
Hahaha
I don’t know. I’ve got to leave here about 8:00 a.m. in the morning and I’ve got so much shit to do.
God.
But it’s fun. It’s going to be fun. My daughter, I’m taking my daughter to see this band called June Henry. And it’s like some I talked about that in my last post. Did I talk about that?
I don’t remember.
But she’s going to get to meet him and stuff and hang out and it’s going to be funny since it’s this little coffee shop in Atlanta.
And that’s what we’re doing tomorrow.
Christmas is just around the corner and the new year is, Right after that.
And I can’t believe this year is already like almost over. I remember when it happening last year. I was, uh, working at Target
60 hours a week and then, um, well for a while I was also working for my house remodeling boss, but that stopped around the end of November.
But um, Gosh. Yeah, it’s been been a long time since I’ve done any work for him. I guess it’s been over a year, but uh, I don’t know. He don’t really do a lot of stuff, this time of year anyways, Or I would holler at him. Yeah. And be like, hey, you got anything going on, uh, the week of Christmas and New Year’s, and he probably does not. That’s usually like when I worked for him. I have worked for him in the past full time, that’s when everything’s slowed down. To the point of, uh, like, you know, it’s
That’s what I almost starved. I ran out of food for like a week. The first time that happened in 2018, that was a vivid, shitty memory. I’ve talked about that though. I think in this blog and my other Blog, the time I ran out of money and food and then he was like, yeah I don’t have anything going on for at least a couple weeks.
I think it was the middle. Maybe maybe the
Second the middle of the second week in January before, uh he had regular work, I think I ended up I don’t remember how exactly all that went.
But uh, It was rough. Oh my God 2018 was rough.
A rough year.
I get reminded of this stuff. Um, sometimes it’s like
Dang. With, you know, Facebook memories
With Facebook memories and shit. Yeah. It’s like gosh.
I think it was the 7th of this month, which it’s the goddamn 13th now. It’s been a week ago I noticed it was the 7 year anniversary of
When my ex fiance dumped me and she was just some crazy chick. I thought was my soulmate until I got to Really know her and realized that girl wasn’t anybody’s soulmate or anything. Okay, wow.
But I don’t know. I don’t want to talk about anything like that. Stop picking up things fucking stupid.
I’m trying not to be too loud also, I don’t know.
I don’t know how loud I am outside of this room. I get really self-conscious.
And I don’t feel like going off on a rant about why?
Yeah. Anyways.
Um, I don’t know what else to talk about. It’s just been work. That’s all I’ve done and Poke around with some music.
Trying to get my stuff. I’ve got a ton of songs that I’ve converted most of them, except when we were frogs, is the only song that doesn’t.
Convert well to standard tuning.
Which makes me sad. I’m gonna have to figure something out about that because it’s got an E flat in it. And E, flat is a stupid chord to play in standard tuning and especially if you’re when you’re used to like low.
Tuned things like I am. Um, it sounds beautiful. In the C standard But uh, in standard E standard, you know, it’s like well you know, it goes, It goes up and up and up, or down and down, I guess, rather up the neck. And then all of a sudden you have to hit the e flat, you have to go down to the E flat. Down the neck, you know? Up the notes, you have to go an octave up. From. Because it has a little walk down part and it’s just it sounds like shit. Yeah. It’s I mean it sounds really dinky. And stupid and wrong. So, uh,
Um, Honda plant Blues, sounds weird, but it sounds decent, you know, especially with a bass, it sounds pretty good with a bass, um, because the C is usually, The. Okay you know, it’s the open. Sea of the sea standard.
It’s you know where the E chord usually is my Brains. I don’t know why I’m explaining this but um
You know, because it’s only basically 3 Chords. It’s a f.
The C. Is the low C and then it has the B flat and the F and the B flat can be played in standard tuning. But the C has to be an octave up, it has to be like, you know, regular C like a c chord on a You know, on a guitar. And uh, it sounds a little weird because it usually it’s going up. Well, it’s going. Yeah, down in notes up in you know the on the I guess it really depends on your perspective but it does. It’s like down.
I don’t remember the, I think it’s a C3. Yeah, I don’t know if you’re, you know,
It just sounds weird but it still works. You know, I’m, I’m like over complicating my explanation of that.
Everything else though, I have a standard tuned version of Devil Woman, I thought about breaking that out, but I have to actually sing it. Transposed upwards. It’s the same, uh, chord, you know, fret positions. But it’s 2 steps.
Above from where I usually sing it and uh, I could pull it off. A few years ago. But then I got into a slump where I didn’t sing.
Or play music or anything from like 2021.
Until 2023. After I had that nervous breakdown. I didn’t. I’d hardly do anything. I started doing music regularly again two years ago. But I’m going to try to like break that back out because I had started a band in 2018 after right after the divorce. I put a band together for a minute.
With some guys that I really didn’t have any business even knowing But they were like, oh my gosh, you know, they just 1 of them was on drugs, really bad. It was really weird. He was like this karate guy and then he just kind of went crazy and fell off the map. And I don’t even remember his name, I think it was Daniel. Or something, you know?
But uh,
I played the standard. I played in standard tuning. Yeah. Then with that band. And um, it sounded great. I could pull the vocals off then. In standard tuning, I’m going to have to work at it now.
But that’s kind of good. I need to get my voice back in shape and they’re bringing karaoke back to work. Uh, I’m the last time I was going to do it and then something happened and we ended up not Even getting to do like we had like a machine go down and so they ran us through lunch and then let us go home. So I totally missed like An opportunity for my retarded ass karaoke performance. I had all planned out in my head, but I’m going to get a second opportunity uh, Thursday for it and oh my God. I’m going to go in there and I’m going to probably I have no idea what song I’m going to play, though. At work in the cafeteria. In front of all these people, um,
That I’ll work with every day which they hear me singing and being crazy. Anyways, so whatever
I don’t know. I’m tired of talking.
It’s going to take forever to edit this and that’s fine. Thank you. Please.
