@ourladyofomega posted this several days back and I thought I would toss my answers out there as well for it.
A game of First, Last, Next, and Favorite.
First concert: Rush, 3/29/1983, Signals Tour. I was in my teens, met up with some class mates that were going with me. They decided they wanted to go drink, chase girls and/or smoke. I was already a music geek, music nerd or music snob... any of those titles fit me... so I went in and sat down. John Butcher Axis was the opening band. I seem to remember they had one song that was pretty decent. I can’t describe how good Rush was. I really believe this was them at the top of their game. They opened with The Spirit of Radio and it just got better from there. Stuff like Tom Sawyer, La Villa Strangiato and YYZ and the incredible Neil Peart drum solo. They had a huge video screen in the background. When they played the song Countdown they had the Space Shuttle launch film playing in sync with the song. Truly amazing to see so much talent on one stage. And THAT was my first ever concert. I never did see my so-called friends during the show, and to be honest, I didn’t care once the music started.
Last concert: It’s been a while since I saw a show (mid 2000′s maybe?) and I can not remember which one of these shows was my last... but I saw a group of bands all one one record label. ALL, Someday I, Wretch Like Me and I thought another band, but I can’t remember who (Armstrong? Maybe?). The other possible last show was the bands From Ashes Rise, Breather Resist, Challenger and I think Strike Anywhere. 2004 I think? Damn I need to start going back to shows. Kids, marriage, work, life... all sort of got in the way for a while I guess. That and the lack of anyone to go with me back then. From those shows Someday I, From Ashes Rise and Challenger stood out to me as being really good. Most people probably haven’t heard of most of these bands.
Next concert: No idea at all, but it needs to happen!
Favorite concert: This depends on when you ask me. The first time I saw Fugazi was an amazing experience. Second time was awesome as well. Rush was fantastic (see above). Iron Maiden frickin’ ruled, especially when Eddie came out on stage. Ramones were super cool and fun to see. Lallapalooza 92 was great with Lush, Ice Cube, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Ministry and RHCP. I got hit by a flying cheeseburger during the Ministry’s set. Still wrapped and everything. No, I did not eat it. I have seen some amazing bands and some great shows.
I would ask @zelphafrost, @deliberatecontrarian, @pyretic-perfect-storm and really anyone else to do this too, but only if they wanted to and had the time.
1. Are you named after anyone? Funnily enough, on my father's side, we had this tradition where all our initials are identical. But no, I wasn't named after anyone in particular.
2. When was the last time you cried? It's been a while tbh. Think it was a month or two back? Life be hittin sometimes.
3. Do you have kids? No I don't and I never really planned on it.
4. What sports do you/have you played? I used to stay after school and play basketball with my friends but I was so bad. I did do Muay Thai as well but only for a short while and I'd love to get back into that.
5. Do you use sarcasm? Oh most definitely. Love sarcasm.
6. What's the first thing you notice about somebody? Energy, energy, energy.
7. Eye color? A very dark brown.
8. Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings for sure. I really like neutral endings too.
9. Any talents? I'd say my creativity. I pour a lot out and love to express myself through EVERYTHING. Safe to say I'm kind of a perfectionist because of it.
10. Where were you born? Good ol' Virginia, USA.
11. Hobbies? Words, music, art, that kind of thing. There's a guy on youtube named ghowste who makes the best beats to freestyle to.
12. Any pets? Not anymore. Never had my own pet, just pets that were always passed down to me because their owner didn't want them anymore.
13. Height? I'm 5'7ish.
14. Favorite subject? English. Psychology was fun too.
15. Dream job? Honestly this changes for me a lot. I really wanted to be a Banquet Chef at the Smithsonian in DC but I gave up my cooking career. I did make it to the Fine Arts Museum here in Virginia before I quit which was amazing. If I had to pick a new one though it'd probably have something to do with communication and therapy. I'm bad as hell at communicating but I've been told I give great advice.

Maybe neurodivergents are not that at all, maybe we are amnesic old gods stuffed in human suits. That's why we rarely ever feel comfortable in this skin.
The joy that flowers bring without any intention at all. The only agenda is to stretch toward the sun and hope to reproduce. Quiet, simple joy. This is everyday sunshine.
So this morning I started taking pictures of the clouds after I got out of my car because they looked so cool on my drive to work. I was standing behind the trunk of my car, with the parking lot behind me, and no one else around. As I was looking at my photos, I noticed what looks like a turquoise bubble in the sky. It has to be some kind of reflection I guess, but I'm not sure what.
