the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thread

Upside to life being hell lately is that I've had a lot of extra time to hang out with my baby boy, and I've lost 5 lbs. So I've got that going for me.

Work has finally quietened down which means that I get my first Saturday off since Christmas.

Practice with my newest project is going great so far. It feels great to be in a band where everyone is hella experience. Theres less BSing when it comes to getting shit done.

We've got a photographer coming through next week to take band photos and individual band member shots. First time I've ever done that. Should be cool. YIP.

Also got the BC-1 pickup for my Billy Corgan Strat conversion in for valentines day. All I need now is the chopper and the guitar will be complete.

Got an email from Amazon saying they want to do a phone interview with me for a position in Tokyo. I'm about to explode in nervousness and excitement.

Sort of still in disbelief that this even happened in the first place. Can't think of the last time the universe didn't flip me the cosmic finger.

Good luck ST!

For real Strange Tales, thats fantastic! Good luck bro.

Last nights photo shoot went well. Was the first time I've ever done super professional photos for one of my music projects. We also filmed some promotional stuff.

Its been cool to see this project take off and grow so quickly after getting together. Satisfying. Its given me confidence I didnt even know I had. Enough to whip my other band into shape, get normally flaky dudes to not be flaky. Its also helped me come out of my shell while performing more, which is something I've wanted to be able to do for a long time. Just get over my anxiety and just let go, let the music take me.

Anyway, next step its planning shows with both bands, refining the setlist, get some studio time set up. That sort of thing. I've also got my metal album to put out. So its looking to be a productive year.

You WILL get that job god damn it, and you WILL move.
This is like 'Good Will Hunting'. I love my NJ Bro but I want you gone and happy.

Have been listening to Cha La Head Cha La on repeat for the past hour. No fucking idea why this is totally hitting the spot right now.

Forgot to post this a few days ago but I got a travel training position for my job which means I'll get to spend 3 and a half weeks in Florida starting in March!
Didn't necessarily think I was qualified since I've been working for the company for less than a year but I guess that didn't matter. It's gonna be a ton of work and lots of overtime but the money will be really nice and I need to get out of KY for a while.

Only downside will be missing my girlfriend. Good thing I'll have my OP-1 to keep me warm.

I found out on Ancestry.com that my Great-Great and Great Grandfather were both Druids. Fuck yeah.

I finally took a shower this morning. I will not be revealing when the last time I took a shower was.

I got my yearly bonus on Tuesday. Last year, it was taxed 36.8%. This year, thanks to Trump' s tax cuts, I was taxed 29.58% despite grossing more money. This puts me in a better position to achieve my longterm financial goals.
