the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thread

I bought a Zoom H1 with my employee of the month gift card. It was only $70. I'm going to do a podcast with a friend of mine. I'm eager to record the pilot this weekend. Just a fun little dalliance with no expectations.

Had first rehearsal with new band today. Trio with me doing guitars(mostly baritone and Bass VI), trumpet going through octave and fuzz into huge amp and drums with contact mics.

Have a gig next week as well!!

Finally got my main PC working.
I had to reset it, which wiped out all my programs, but at least it starts now and I still have my files. I just need to re-download a ton of programs.

Also, on the plus side, it has a brand new power supply and graphics card. So, now I can run three monitors at once and have room to upgrade them to 4K monitors in the future.
All that's left to get it running back to 100% is to upgrade the RAM to 16GB.

Had second practice with my other band yesterday, we have a bassist now which really fills out the sound nicely. The dude is a little flashy, but I let it pass since he was just getting a feel for the songs. Plus dude has a massive pedalboard that I'll try and get pictures of next time.

So yea, really nice place rn schedule wise. I have time for both groups, my fiancee, my son and my friends while still being able to chill. Good vibes.

I got tickets to Monster Jam and I'm taking my boy.. So pumped. I justify it being fun for him.. but really it's fun for me too.

1000th post and I'm eating pizza at work thinking about how best to bring back Constantinople and be the sole person responsible for the downfall of Turkey and possibly Croatia, but Croatia will just be dessert.

yum

So the monster jam was fun as hell, my boy loved it and we did too. There were two women drivers as well so that was a nice chance for him to see what I've been trying to teach him.

I was playing guitar the other night and my girlfriend tells me that she thinks it sounds amazing and that I'm using all 8 strings well .. she's not a guitar player, but she is pretty rad at violin so I considered it a pretty righteous compliment

You're in the land of luxury now. I've been putting this off for years and still can't quite bring myself to do it. Maybe this is the day.

You won't regret it. it wasn't anything super expensive or really crazy for mine, but is a good weight and build that i found in a local shop somewhat near my home. Works well and will really expand what i can do in so many ways. Usually i am kind of depressed every time i have to put down any money towards purely 'functional' stuff like this. But honestly, this was the most excited i think i have ever been for a 'functional' piece of gear. No regrets or negative feelings whatsoever. Wife was excited too and helped me pick it out haha. Been thoroughly exploring and experimenting how to record my phin now with it every night, and she enjoys listening to that too
