Hard to believe Kurt Colbain was just a few months older than us. I guess he will always symbolize my youth to me. Eternally 27
Yes, the 90's version of Jim Morrison.
I preferred Jim (even though he was dead before I was born) though I have come to appreciate Nirvana more lo these many years later than I did when they first came out even though that was high school for me.

Morrison was a rock god, the Lizard King who could anything. A pioneer of the post-war dream where everything seemed possible, and youth would lead the way.
Colbain was the broken heart of a forgotten generation, screaming at the hypocrisy suffocating him. The poster child of the forgotten children promised so much and finding so little.
Both facets of their culture and time. Both slain by same.

Yeah, but I still don't like them. I'll turn off the radio rather than search for another station if one of their songs pops up. Another reason I no longer listen to so called "Classic Rock radio".

Well, unpacking is taking a bit longer than I expected. Pulled a lat muscle along the way.
Yeah, I moved in December and still haven't unpacked everything. Of course, that's all stuff I rarely or never use (old toys from when I was a kid that I have no idea why I still have them, old White Dwarf and KoDT magazines that I don't reread, my brother's NERF guns, things like that). Plus, I'm still debating if I should move into the other bedroom and see about eventually turning my current bedroom into a game room.

[On a whim, I stopped by the store on the way home from work, and found a full set of all 20 books in Time Life's The Emergence Of Man for $2 per book, and in pristine condition. The cheapest I've ever seen the set before is around $80-$100, and in good condition, up to $200. Still, that was $40 I really shouldn't be spending on anything other than bills right now.]

Wow Patrick don't have any room for any of that stuff in the new place or not a lot time now for it? How are things in DC my friend? Everything treating you well down there? When you come back up next time drop me a line okay.
Hey Gruumash!!
Good seeing you.
I have decided I am tired of being shackled to my collection.
Attachment is pain
Anything I really need I can get on PDF. It's a lot easier to carry
Plus I am BROKE AS FNCK!!!
Moving takes a lot of cash.

I have decided to try to keep a campaign journal of the current RL pathfinder campaign that I am playing in if anyone is interested in checking it out. So far I’ve covered the events of sessions 1 and 2 and we’re actually up to session 18 – we’ll see how long I’ll keep at it!

Here's hoping my check is fairly decent.
If not, time to put more stuff up for auction!
That may be the second happiest song I've ever heard.
