Summer of disappointment

If you know me, yiu know that I love our lake trips. Since my family after moving out of my parents has been lower middle class upper poor... going to the lake with at my uncle's lake house is our chance to live and vacation outside of our means. It was always a reminder of childhood when everything was easy and we all lived in the same house and I loved including my wife and kids in that since I couldn't provide that for them otherwise. Well that may he coming to an end. As the last post was before our 2018 lake trip and I haven't posted in nearly 2 months I thought I'd relay that here. There was a kid i played with named Timothy I didn't really see him once I entered high school much and didn't know why he never came around or went to the lake when we weren't there. Well it's because he is gay, I just found out he was this year and honestly I wasn't surprised, he was always into things like art and plays and stuff and not the manliest kids so it's what it is. But my uncle and his grandfather wasn't so accepting as me and after his grandfather died he came when everyone was there with his partner and my uncle lost his shit and is now most likely selling the lake house... It's so fucked and I don't know how to feel. Also I need better pay and everywhere I look for bettering myself and my family i just come to a dead in and I'm losing steam. Time for some bright eyes and some beer.

Back on the grid

Well the internet is back and that feels good. It has been so long since I've had to go without a utility for s couple of weeks I mean at least it was one that isn't a living necessity but still it made it hard on the kids and the games these days even single player games need internet to some extent to work properly. I haven't went back in me2 yet since I did do my steam sale game thing so I was trying some of those out, I tried endless space which is kinda a space opera colonization game which seems relaxing and fun. I got 2 360 era games I never finished that I rented way back when which is lost planet and vanquish (vanquish plays great on pc)

Today we are also getting our plumbing redone since after max and colleen were here on memorial day our toilets and drains have been acting up. We had the septic tank drained and the plumbing worked on and nothing worked so now they are completely redoing it so maybe now our toilets will flush properly!

Tonight is podcast night so finally I can do it on the pc instead of the phone and we have major Linux joining us. Should be a good time. I still need to do my p4g charity streams for June but I'm thinking I'll just do June and July in july... I mean we had alot of stuff going on since my last one...in the last episode i couldn't even have the mic on for coughing then was the funeral and then we didn't have internet... So June has been one busy clusterfuck.

One more day

Uh I typed a book and then it went away... I'll try again in a few... fingers are tired

Okay, one more day until we get internet, it's been harder than I thought.  It will be nice to get back to mass effect 2 and 3 with all the dlc since I need internet to verify the dlc even though it's installed but I launched the gsme after I bought and installed the dlc but after the internet was out. I also have some games in mind to get during the steam sale as well so that should be fun but after all the bills are paid

Well max and I went to see yob and bell witch last night with Netherlands which was very fun. I had my first sour beer which I liked alot. It was high wire goze out of Asheville. I downloaded an app called bands in town so I can keep better track of bands we want to see live so we can make our resolution to see more local shows most doom metal since it's so chill yet still heavy. We are too old to be moshing and stage diving... That's why I turned down the knocked loose and terror show even though u do wanna see converge again sometime. Next show we wanna see would be deafheaven with drab majesty and uniform... So shoegaze/black metal with dreamy new wave and noise rock. Hell yeah

But this weekend is the family lake trip so that should be good to get away for a bit and enjoy some lake water off the grid

Injection

I think I should keep the blogs separate. And keep my brand up even if I change the brand name and look I still need to keep it going and focus on more life of life type posts here because I am sure once I dismantle a.h. I would miss having s brand outside of YouTube even if I keep the posts.

Not having internet still sucks but I get paid in less than a week so let's do this! Haha I just wanna play my mass effect 2 and 3 dlc but for now I'll just play borderlands on steam since steam doesn't have this online hand holding issues if I have bought and installed stuff. I could see if it's am online gsme but it's a strictly single player game that came out 9 years ago. But oh well.

I got to take my dad to get his injection today which I have had to for the past year now which sucks because I have to leave work early but maybe he'll buy me some vape juice haha

Xanga out

Identity

I'm not really sure what I want to do with the awakenedheathen blog. I'm starting to like this one how I'm using my old xanga handle and just kinda talking about nothing rather than trying to start a brand. I wanted my blog to be a hub for everything I did but the few peiple that watch my videos or follow me on Twitter never went to the blog rather than just find me on YouTube or whatever so what's the point really... so maybe I should archive those posts on my archive blog on WordPress and then just continue to do my pre internet nostalgia here. Not sure what I want to do. Because if I post here I don't really want to post there and nothing is read there anyway like I said and anything really related to my YouTube is so organized through playlists and live events. I probably should archive all posts prior to later 2016 but import the ones on there after I made this one here so if things are sorta repeated then that's why. Plus that would be cool since I did a pretty long post over there explaining my absence of blogging in 2017. Man I ramble about nothing... but that's how pre internet blogs are

No net

Why do I keep having to make posts like this year after year that we had to push the internet bill back... I'd hope after 10 to 15 years of blogging that id be at a point if not having to sacrifice bills like internet and Xbox gold. I guess I do make alot more money now but I do have a car payment now and higher insurance and higher rent. I should be done paying off my car next year though since I've had it 5 years now and it's a 6 year loan and after that my insurance will go down so hopefully then we will have more disposable income. Well of course I'll have like 350 more a month so that should be amazing. I'll pay the internet bill next Wednesday so until then I'll have to reschedule my persona 4 streams and the Alan Wake stream with Aiden which sucks but we'll manage because we have plenty of dvds and blurays as well as single player games. In fact I've been replaying the mass effect trilogy so I'm covered

Back to normal

Back at work after the funeral and memorial day. The service was good and the viewing had alot of family coming together. I'm going to miss grandma and pa Langdon alot, they meant alot to me going up.

Max and colleen came over on memorial day and that was a nice change of pace. I made some good fall-off-the-bone ribs with a custom mix of sauces and a beee that came out really well. I did corn on the cob grilled in aluminum foil on my new oven grill plate and that came out amazing. Max had an incident with with his his esophagus and didn't get to eat much or drink any beer, I felt bad for him.

Podcast guests

Well mike and I did and episode of scarcasm last night that I almost forgot about haha. I started playing some va11-hal-a and Amber said "you getting ready to podcast? And I was like oh shit that's right it is a bit past 9 haha. So we got that going and Amber wanted to join in so she was a guest for the night and the convo for the episode turned into to sex talk LOL. It was a good time though it would be cool to have her on the podcast more often though.

Well the main reason I forgot is because they were at my dad's house for a bit after I got off work and I met them there and we hung out there for a bit. Aiden ate dinner there..oh and Aiden is 10 years old now! Crazy huh he had a birthday party at lacocina the Mexican restaurant and also we had visited hendersonville earlier in the month and he had a party there too with the kids as well as a couple of gaming tournaments for fun.

And a year passes

Well i always do this. Think I'm going to blog about personal stuff like how we used to via fangs then i completely forget about it. The biggest reason is that my laptop got stolen last year and this year I finally got me a new pc (that's 10 times better than my laptop) and the blogger app is pretty limited and likes to freeze up if uploading pics and stuff. I also got really into persona even more than before with since I finally finished p4g and getting persona 5. So I thought I'd talk a bit. Well sad news that grandma Langdon died yesterday So we got a funeral to plan and all. She was pretty sick so she won't have to live in that nursing home anymore. She died almost 6 years after pa Langdon died in 2012. Anber got pregnant with our new son Riley who was born November 13th of last year and that has been amazing. Also we moved into a new place which we love. We moved last year to a temporary house after the robbery that we lost our laptop Xbox one and other electronics. So now we are finally settled and have most of the things replaced so that's good. Stay good people. Xanga forever!
