9/6/18

Before we begin, let us have a moment of silence for my headphones, which perished while around my neck after the muscles in my neck harmlessly (or so I thought) flexed while tossing my bag in the backseat of the car after my disappointing night at the gym.

...

Okay that was boring as hell. Anyway, moving on.

All in all, today was pretty "Meh". I'm still not fully recovered from whatever the hell Bug it was that I caught...but it had already been 4 days since I went in. I felt like enough of a bitch for not heading in earlier.
As such...my heart would not shut up the entire time. And almost everything made me really light headed. But I got through. And the fact that I got through is promising to me. A little. I guess.

Tonight's musics are part of the Reign in Blood album from Slayer. A bonus track, actually. "Aggressive Perfector". It was one of the tracks that got my attention while I was vegging to the full album and doing truck. The energy put into the vocals and how it blended with what I was picking up on from the instrumentals was what really caught my attention, and proved addictive for me, literally from the beginning.
