I got my money's worth and then some.

On the suggestion from a good friend of mine, I picked up the Saints Row double pack from the might Best buy a while back. I have never really been a huge fan of the big box style games where you can free roam. Yes, you can do what you want.Yes, at your own pace and when you feel like it. I will have to say to anyone that challenges me on this that it is a linear game. There are things you have to do to get from point A to Z, and you do have to do them in order. You can't just walk in to the last mission of the game and finish it the second you start.

That being said....

I'm going off on a tangent about music in general.

We're going to start today off with a couple definitions from Dictionary.com

...I'm recapping last weekend.

So, this past weekend I had a lot going on. I turned 37. I went to a Packer's pre-season game and sat on the 50 yard line for it. Chicago was a blast, and Sunday was nice and lazy.

...I have completed level 36. On to level 37.

For all my geek friends out there, I have dinged level 37 this morning. Level 36 was complicated, tiring at times, and quite awesome as well. Here are the highlights, starting with the Level 36 ding itself.

August: I had a bunch of friends with me to celebrate while I at sushi and hibachi.

September: Back to school. I took a guitar class and learned quite a bit.

October: I learned that some people are REALLY in to Halloween. I also moved jobs from broadcast to corporate.

November: My first vegan thanksgiving. There is a turkey alternative, and it's fucking amazing (pardon my swearing please)

December: I saw a play for the first time in years, and I had a good time with it. Promotion at my job.

...I'm throwing away "at work" social media.

At work today, I realized I spend too much time on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Gchat, and many other "distractions". This blog is one of them.

Starting today, I will not be logging in to Facebook, personal Gmail, Twitter, Blogger, or any of the other time wasters I have while I am here at my desk. It's distracting and really causing me to not do what it is I need to do while I am here. Which is, help people, and make a living. I'm not paid to surf Facebook or Twitter. I'm paid to help people and manage people.

If I seem like I'm ignoring, or not answering, well... I'm not. I'm working.
