Tomorrow and Friday are probably going to be boring days for me personally.

The bicycle shop had the tools to fix my bicycle's handle bar. Said i had a cracked back break. But still functional. Still decided to get a tune up and a new back brake. Just won't be ready for about a week. Kinda thinking about canceling and just get it back. Riding is happy.

There are two places and different groups of people i do with open mics with in person and locally. And I think neither knows about the DAW recordings I have done over the years. They just know my music from live performances I think. Just never had a chance to play it to them.

3 weeks from this Saturday flying from Cleveland to Long Beach. Just hope I am rested/alert for the trip.

Never been into recreational drug or alcohol use. But always liked this song. And it's theme holiday is today.

Making jingles and video promos for politicians may have been cringe and weird back in 2018-2022. And tho Ai is wiping out a lot of it now. It was fun and cool to learn on my own the skills to content create.

I think the bolts are keeping the handle on. But seems like I need to sod the gap back together. Bicycle shop may charge more than what the bike is worth. And even used/box top store bicycles are kinda expensive. Might just have to deal with it. Riding has been making me happy.

Just getting a cream soda at the local night club. I usually get non intoxicating items and cheaper items when I regular night clubs, coffee shops and restaurants. More important to interact with people. So not at home all day. Or too much online, being a recluse again.

Idk why. But for the past week I have been bicycle riding. Really been making me feel a lot better. Better than walking a lot or walking with weights. I mean, still sedate and other meds side effects. But for sure a vibe change. Even on chilly and rainy days.

Sometimes I don't tweet/post potential banger tweets/posts. Just because I don't want notifications all day or week long. Not that positive engagement or trolls is as good or bad as things happening offline. Just trying to not be as online anymore.

Went out a lot and saw a lot of friends and family these past few weeks. Needed after a pretty long and harsh winter. But I am cool staying in and saving money tonight. Just don't want to become a recluse again. Takes a toll on you.

Got until at least January until i can possibly get on newer, cheaper and better meds. (next medication injection is in July. Last injection was back in this past January. Every 6 months). My doctor is really cautious about a switch. But I hate being too sedate. I know triggers.

Open mic night had some technical difficulties. So not playing tonight. But glad I got out and meet some new people

Thanks for taking the photo @atilano.bsky.social !

If you can see me haha. With another buddy taking me out for my birthday. So guess now a 4 day celebration?

Hyped. Tho I didn't get a full 8 hours of sleep last night. I did get some sleep. And may be rested and alert (it's like a roller coaster of energy on my meds) enough today. To help set up an open mic, do a soundcheck, get food with a friend and perform tonight!

"The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them"-maybe Lenin said it. Maybe he didn't. And I am not even for captiol punishment. But statements like this is why I think at least unregulated captialism will ultimately fail. I am more for good direct democracy.

Not saying it won't happen tomorrow or the coming weeks. And tho they have jumped by a dollar since March. Gas prices in my area so far I might still be able to afford. So planning on helping set up an open mic tomorrow. A friend is taking me out for food for my birthday as well.

From May 16th-June 13th. Will be staying with my aunt, uncle, their family and friends of the family in Long Beach, California. Tho they only want me there a month at a time. There's a couple of other places I may be able to stay longer. If Ohio getting expensive. Go big i guess

I have most of my life lived in a rural small town. By the time i was 23 or 24, a lot of women my age already had kids. Some with their high school sweethearts. I did date a bit in high school and away in a college town. But been stuck with few options for a while. I want out ha.

If Ai gets well regulated. I will start posting original music/songs/general content again.

If things get really expensive tomorrow or eventually. For sure now planning on getting back into astrophotography. Took a break for a bit. But a great hobby if not too much light pollution. And clear night skies.

No RSVPs so far. May get really cloudy. Buildings or trees may be in the way. Or things may get too expensive for people to show up even locally. But this Sunday and Monday. Supposed to be a really visible comet. Trying to get another star party together. Like back in November.

'Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss'. Exactly why we need well checked and balanced direct democracy in my opinion.

I never really been addicted to drugs of alcohol. Just wanted to clarify i wasn't drinking. But I get how it may have read. Yeah. Even when i am out with friends. I am always looking at my phone. But I started walking and bicycling a lot to reduce screen time..

Since 2024, been a sober regular at a night club. Mom and pop coffee shop. A Dunkin and a few other places. Just to get out and interact with people. But others and myself usually are on our phones. Haven't really had conversations lately either. Want to save money, too.
