I have been on a "Boom Bap" music kick, lately. YouTube has at least 9 volumes of music entitled "Return of the Boom Bap". It's simple beats with drums and cymbals (usually on a drum machine), with samples from other, older songs. These tracks are mostly instrumentals, with a late-1990s/early-2000s vibe. I've had them playing … Continue reading ‘Night Walks’: Some Odds and Ends
‘Night Walks’: “Why?”
Using the title and similar format - minus the rhyming - of the song by rapper Jadakiss. Why have Tendonitis and Plantar Fasciitis had such a strong of a grip on my feet in the last 3 years?? Why do so many people still follow and defend Donald Trump? Why not the University of Louisville … Continue reading ‘Night Walks’: “Why?”
‘Night Walks’: “Long Days, Pleasant Nights”
On Saturday (6/7), I will perform with a small ensemble at the Southern Indiana Pride Festival. I am a Straight guy, so "why perform there?" My answer: "Why not?" I have quite a few friends that are part of the LGBTQ+ Community. I strongly believe in the notion that you can like/love/do whoever you want, … Continue reading ‘Night Walks’: “Long Days, Pleasant Nights”
‘Night Walks’: “Villain”
It's a weird thing with me: whether it's in a board game or a video game, I have a very hard time playing as the 'villain' or 'the bad guy'. In Betrayal at House on the Hill (and various versions of that game), you could end up being the villain strictly via the luck of … Continue reading ‘Night Walks’: “Villain”
“Night Walks”: Some Quick Hits
(No particular song list, this time) Beating a tricky puzzle puzzle, mini boss, or boss always has brought a high level mixture of satisfaction and relief. Finally beating a Boss in 'Elden Ring' multiplies that level by 5. FINALLY beat Godrick in Stormveil Castle with my Paladin-esque character! Now, to get through Raya Lucaria Academy.... … Continue reading “Night Walks”: Some Quick Hits
‘Night Walks’: 2025 is a Milestone Year
As I plan on how I am going to spend my $1 combined Federal and State tax return, I think about how 2025 is off to a... start... and how there are a lot of 'milestone dates' for me, this year. Those dates include: February 22nd: the 15th anniversary of my heart valves replacement surgery. … Continue reading ‘Night Walks’: 2025 is a Milestone Year
Night Walks: “Good or Nice?”
"Night Walks" were posts that I wrote... at night: I couldn't sleep, I was working 3rd Shift, I got home late, etc. They usually weren't too in-depth; just writing down random thoughts, as if I was strolling around the neighborhood, thinking to myself. I'll have to double-check but I think it's been 4 years since … Continue reading Night Walks: “Good or Nice?”
“Night Walks”: Now That School’s Out….
It's been a long time since I've made a late-night post, a mental "Night Walk". But I woke up just before 1 AM, it's 2 AM (at the start of this), and I can't fall back asleep. School is finished for the summer, the year, and probably for a few years. So... what's next? I … Continue reading “Night Walks”: Now That School’s Out….
“Night Walk”: ‘Info Dump’
Saturday July 25th, 1:26 AM I saw a post on Facebook where, instead of 'Drunk History', you had 'Drunk Special Interests': you posted what you would be drinking and what special interest you'd talk about while drunk. I am not a big drinker but if I chose a drink, it would be Rum (or Bourbon) … Continue reading “Night Walk”: ‘Info Dump’
“Night Walks”: January 10th
So I took a look at Facebook's "On This Date" feature, where they show you what you posted in the past, on a certain date. Apparently, January 10th was a pretty eventful day in my past. 2012: I was evicted from my apartment, 2 days after getting back in town from a Drum and Bugle … Continue reading “Night Walks”: January 10th
