if I had two hands....

Skipped church yesterday.  Was thinking I'd read some of His word, but I haven't.  Not then.  Not today.  It's 10:30 here in Missouri.
I bought a boatload of stuff at Hastings with my debit card yesterday.  Total debited from my bank was $106.10.  I only had $17.  I didn't need anything from Hastings, I didn't even really badly want anything...$28 of the $106 was a flat out waste.  The rest was stuff that I could easily live w/o.  I just wanted to shop.  So I did.  It'll be paid in September when I get money and I'll be able to pay for groceries and such like a sheltered U.S. citizen would think I should, although my gift to God that month will be a little short the requested 10%.
I felt so damn hypocritical yesterday, I didn't ask God for forgiveness.  Thankfully I've lived another day.  Praise be to Him.  I woke up at 11am so not much telling when I'll go to bed.
Not sure why I woke so late.  I went to bed a little after midnight.  Seriously, woah...


THE SMALLEST LIGHT (2015)

2013 brought emo-revival band Daisyhead's debut recording, titled I COULDN'T FACE YOU.  Two years later, earlier this year, their debut LP THE SMALLEST LIGHT was released and as was the case with Too Close To Touch's NERVE ENDINGS and Wind At Sails' MORNING LIGHT, I didn't find out about it until several months after the fact (in this case today).
Times like this make me glad I signed up for ad free Rdio.  Sorta.  I'm not sure the ads would bog it down that much if at all...although they are annoying, especially since it's mostly advertisements for their own service, beckoning me to upgrade to a paid plan.
I had some gift cards on Swagbucks, a whopping $19 worth, so I bought Lotte Kestner's THE BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS and now I'm awaiting a bank transfer so I can bu THE SMALLEST LIGHT.  I still have $6+ in GC bal.  The CD is a little under $12 w/ S&H factored in.
BOOM!

Albert Hammond Jr..........know any more than you did????

Stupid fucking shit.
My mom's loudddd chewing prompted me to pump up the volume and click on the closest thing to non-shit I could hope to enjoy....tried Mayday Parade's 2013 album MONSTERS IN THE CLOSET b/c it was on my "most recently played" list-thingy.......then despite the misgivings about clicking on a CD with some random dude's name plastered on it, I clicked on Albert Hammond Jr.'s MOMENTARY MASTERS...track 1 over, damn it, Ok, now track 2 has started, I don't know if Mom finished her food or if she picked up any of the damn hints I dropped, admittedly subtle as they were.......
Albert Dickjack Jr.'s name still means practically nothing.  Track 1 and two have sonic pleasantness, but unless you're doing some Hawaiian style dancing and want music to give the appearance of having a reason just in case someone might be staring at you through the window or you happen to be in public, this CD is a total void in terms of anything that matters.  Maybe the lyrics pertain to some self righteous political thinking...idk...
'bout damn time.  Track 3 has livened things up.  It's still ugly and stupid sounding, but whatever...
