Am I Going Insane?

Last night I walk away from my computer.

It’s 10:59.

I walk into my bedroom. The alarm clock reads 11:19.

I check my wristwatch – it’s 11:00.

Clearly, my alarm clock is messed up. This is the SECOND time this week where the time is messed up. I have no idea why.

I change the clock time. I set my alarm for 6:25.

I wake up at 6:25, do the usual stuff and then when I reach for my cell phone and watch, I discover that the time is…6:25.

As in, I just spent fifteen minutes in the shower, and it is now only the time where I woke up.

What the heck?

I believe I am going insane… I had a migraine headache the other week and ever since then, weird, silly things have been happening like the inability to type a sentence, or my clock times changing randomly.

In terms of the clock time changing last night, logic would dictate that it really was 11:19 when I went to bed and both my computer and wristwatch were off…but that doesn’t really make any sense.

So…I’m going insane I think. Or my alarm clock has a glitch.

Speaking about bettering oneself, I’m finally going to go to a doctor to get a physical. I’ve never been to a doctor since I was a kid, and I met a Doctor while in Europe who was saying how I should think about getting checked out before I’m 30.

I’m not worried about something, but it’s good to go to a doctor to get checked out just in case they can prevent something.

So, word of advice for the day – Go see a doctor! They are there to help. Contrary to popular belief, they are still accepting new patients. At least the one I found is.

Concert Reviews

(random) + Review of The Jeff Healey Band at Lonestar Texas Grill

  • I’ve been trying to upload another Morning Show file to ihud. Ain’t working. Will have to try from another computer. I love technology, but not as much as you and me.
  • Weekend was a bust – read all my books and studied. Do I feel smarter? No. Do I feel scared for the test? Heck yeah. The Prof doesn’t use class notes…he wings it. Maybe he’s a super-genius who remembers things. That’s right…I’m going to expose the University for what it really is. A breeding ground for higher level intelligence. Wait a second. That’s what University is all about anyhow.
  • Still chugging away at organizing the slew of MP3s that Tobias passed onto me when I was in Paris. Man, there’s a lot of stuff there.
  • Starting to learn a new song with Mike – Landing in London by 3 Doors Down. A decent tune. Although I think Mike and I realizing that the way to rock is not to learn another ballad. Ha!

I am amending this entry because I forgot the coolest event of the weekend happened on Friday when Joe, Trish, Mike and I went to see the Jeff Healey Band at Lonestar!

Had some dinner beforehand which was delic and then headed on upstairs to see the opening act Roadhouse who were decent at amping up the crowd.

Lonestar is a strange venue to see a band…the stage is at the same level as the dance floor (well, half of it at least) so when it came to the band coming on stage, I must admit it wasn’t the greatest experience because with a man who sits down to play, only the first row of people can see him! 3/4 of the way through the set we had a chance to push our way up to the front and catch the awe-inspiring playing of Mr. Healey. What can I say? I don’t think anyone in the world plays guitar the way he does…and he’s no hack. He’s an amazing guitarist. The night was filled with a bunch of blues tunes and they even brought on a girl from the Ottawa area to sing a few tunes. Trish thought that her voice was good, but she was moving her body too sexy for that young of a girl and should be punished. Here’s my word to Trish – when you rock, you gotta move.

My only gripe about the night is when these crazy cougars in the front row were reaching out to touch Jeff Healey’s hands while he was setting up to play. He even pulled away at one point and made a comment about it. Alright…I don’t see a big deal about touching someone’s hand…but then during a song one lady rubbed his leg while he was playing! That’s just rude. He’s a man, not an object for you to bewilder. Just because the man is blind doesn’t mean that you have to touch him like that. Did anyone rub the other band members legs? No. Why not? If she were to answer, she would probably say something like “Because they’re not special.”

Anyhow…I was hoping to see her later on so I could rub her leg and see how she liked it. 😉 Moron.

All in all…2 thumbs up for performance, no thumbs up for stage setup. We were saying how when we hit up Toronto next time, we should stop into his bar seeing him play. I’m sure they have a better setup.
