Conversations With Myself: The Past......

The past. Something that is over. Done and buried. Yet sometimes the past can come back and haunt you. The past can be a series of memories that are happy that you'll always cherish, and sometimes the past can be an absolute nightmare. Reminding you of hurt and pain that you suffered. Stuff that you just want to forgot ever happened. If only the plot devices in movies like "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind" were real. Sadly, you can't just have stuff wiped from your mind. You have to face the good and the bad that came from your past. Deal with things, become stronger, and hopefully a better person. Consider it a learning process. Usually, I do ok with this. That is until stuff begins to throw itself in your face, in the most painful ways. Reminding me of the pain put onto me by others in the past.

Just a Scrobblin'......

Back in 2007, I started a Last.FM account (MvM-E), and loved scrobbling my music. Was a lot of fun, and something me and my friend Mandy did together. By 2013, the account had laid dormant for quite sometime, and my music interests had changed a little bit. So I created a brand new Last.FM account (MvM42). I scrobbled for a year, (my last scrobble was " Metallica - Through the Never" on 12/16/14 and was scrobble #4,991) then forgot about the account. Now, I am dusting the account off and getting back to scrobbling my music. It's fun! And also could be a little embarrassing at times lol.

Plus, you can sign up and do it all for free. It's a great way to see what songs and artist's you play the most, how many times, when, and also can see what your friends are listening to!

The link to my profile is below. And if anyone uses this site, or wants to, feel free to follow me, and I'll follow you. Happy music listening!

Pints and Ponders #1, 3/22/16: The End Is Near

Hop Grandslam, Courtesy Of Bell's Brewery

One of the many perks of my job (and there are many), is the ability to stop downtown to the pub after a long hard days work, and enjoy what's called a "shifty". Basically, what that means, is a free beer (any choice and any size) after the end of my shift. And I don't know if anyone reading this has been to Bell's beer garden, but it's beautiful! So here I sit outside alone in the sun, enjoying my brew, and I suddenly get the urge to write. Plus let's be honest... "Pints and Ponders"? Yeah, that was too clever to not use, so I'm going to just go with it!

With Bell's On......

Sometimes, when you try hard enough, dreams can really come true. And yesterday was a prime example of this......

The 7 Day Stretch

Sorry I got behind a few days on my posts. So I thought I'd just do a 7 day wrap up to catch up lol! Time to cover kids, a birthday, car problems, gaming exploits, and friends. Let's get started with today's post!

MvM's Music Bit's! - 11/11/14

Every once in awhile, I may come across a song that I really like, and may feel like sharing. Today is one of those days. :)

Today ushered in the release of a new Queen album. Yes, Queen. Ok though to be fair, the album only has 3 new songs on it, and the rest are remasters. But for any Queen fan like myself, getting to hear something new from the late great master, Freddie Mercury, is a real treat!  This time though, Freddie brought a friend along......

Enter, Michael Jackson.
