In my experience there are two different kinds of drunks: One forgets all past transgressions and just wants to hug everyone and be happy. Two lets everything fester and gets angrier and angrier with every drink. At some point they want to punch everyone in the throat, even people that had nothing to do with their repressed anger.
Dude has some pretty serious gear in that little studio he has... probably $120k. Must be awesome to be able to play around like that and make a living at it.
I'm still chasing down the rabbit hole of his videos. Check out this video of the girl from his Sultans of Swing video: But yeah, the dude has some awesome gear and knows how to use it. He's the type of youtuber that deserves to be compensated for his content.
It's interesting that he considers himself to be more of a producer than a musician. He was saying that he's gotten together with some other great musicians in Norway and put together a gigging band... just local to his town. I'm thinking it'd be a fun trip to go and see them play.
Rewatching that video, damn do I want that Martin she's playing. I don't deserve to own it, but man do I want it. Not only is it gorgeous, but it sounds incredible. An instrument like that belongs in the hands of someone who can make it sing. I could probably make it burp.
This may have been the shittiest week of UFC ever. Khabib had his title fight changed 4 times (and props to him for being willing to fight whoever could make it happen). McGregor made a complete ass of himself, getting arrested in NY. And Rose defended her title (yay!) by decision (boo!). This was motherfucking ridiculous. I'm still trying to figure out why Holloway wasn't allowed to fight. Something about the weigh-in? From what I read, dude was around 175-180 and had to cut to 155 in like 4 days. Fucking scary.

Technology is fucking great. I've been sitting here streaming the featured groups in the Masters in HD from my phone and casting it to my 55" TV since 11 this morning. No lag, no shudder, just clear and awesome--and free. I spent yesterday in the yard and building a 30' long rock wall, so to sit here today with a beer watching golf is sublime. Add in that my daughter is napping and my wife is out shopping, and this might be the most perfect moment I've had in some time.
Unreal. Ohtani is on the mound today. He's perfect through 5 with 10 K's. The announcers just said the A's have swung 27 times today, 21 swing and misses. If you can find a feed, I'd suggest tuning in.
I really enjoy watching him pitch and hit. I just want to see him destroy some other team besides the A's. Now a nice no hitter against the Rangers or Mariners would make me smile.
In case you've been wondering how my dating life is going: OKCupid is my app of choice for online dating. A couple days ago, I matched with this guy who was very cute, seemed nice and sweet and drama-free and was interested in the same kinds of things as me and had his shit together, but also mentioned that he had a kink and was looking for someone GGG so he wasn't too clean-cut and boring, and there's nothing that intrigues me more than a guy with an unexpected edge. We start messaging, and he stresses right from the beginning how he values people being open and honest about themselves and asks me some big questions, which feels a little intense that early on, but at the same time it's kind of a nice break to just dive right into the thick of it. A couple very long messages in he makes another passing reference to his "kind of out there" kink, so I ask if he'll tell me what it is. Now, I have a pretty skewed reference of what's vanilla and what's kinky, and based on the hundreds of anonymous profiles I come across of guys acting like it's unique to call themselves a "dom" (i.e lightly spanking a girl now and then during doggy), I was fully expecting it to be something like, I don't know, golden showers at the CRAZIEST. So as part of that message, to make him feel as comfortable as possible, I talk about how I've been a sex health educator and I've worked in a sex shop and I write about sex and I'm generally very comfortable and open and knowledgeable about all of these things, and I like to think of myself as someone who, even if I'm not exactly into a fetish, can at least understand and sympathize with why people would be etc etc. And then I say "there are really only two kinks that make me deeply uncomfortable, and two that I know I wouldn't participate in because of squeamishness, so the odds are slim that yours is going to be one of those." The first two are anything that falls under the umbrella of "age play," and anything that involves a guy basically wanting me to be his mommy - I literally dry heaved when my friend was telling me about a guy who wanted her to "breastfeed" him - and the second two are anything that involves blood or poop. Of course He messages back telling me that NOT ONLY is he into age play but ALSO that he's a "little" slash adult baby which SOMEHOW COMBINES BOTH OF THOSE THINGS. So then I had to message him back telling him my phrasing was now biting me in the butt and that was indeed one of the things and pointed him in the direction of some other sites he might have luck with finding someone who'd be into that. There was a GIGANTIC REALM of kinks and fetishes where I would've been like "enh not really for me, but for the right guy I might be able to accommodate that," but he hit 2/4 of my no's? WHAT ARE THE ODDS.
