Boski's Blogopoluza!

I realized over the past year or so that I have been giving things up. I still have a long list of other things to give up, most give up kicking my own ass about everything, but that a story for another day. Last night at the concert I made a mental list of things I had given up.




1. Caffeine - thanks to the medication I am on I would be Jumpy McJupperty if I still drank caffeinated beverages. I still take a taste every once in a while so I can get back that feeling of riding the dragon. Even as much as miss being able to drink Coke I will say it has helped in losing weight so I am cool with it.

2. Being cool - I took Devo's advice and I am just through being cool

3. Being 5-10 - And I will never be 5-10. I am 5-9 1/2 and that is the way it is.

4. Playing Madden - Something I though unimaginable since 1993, but I just have not played a game of Ol' Madden since February.

5. Being young - Last night at the Pysch Furs/Yaz concert I noticed that I may have been one of the youngest ones there, at age 36. I should have known the moment I asked the Better Half, "When did our parents start going to our shows?” that my youth had "gone daddy gone". Well I knew this day was coming, now excuse me I have to pull my pants up to my arm pits, chase kids off the lawn and get to the early bird special at Denny’s.


Post script to this post - The concert was good, sure Richard Butler looked like the child of Johnny Rotten and James Spader but sounded great. Yaz surprised me I was entertained.
