(March 2025) These are the things that I am doing, watching, reading, listening to, and thinking about in no particular order.
Doing
I'm still studying for my CISM certification.
My middle kid is about to turn 20 and is a junior in college (slated to graduate in December 2025). 2005 does not seem like it was so long ago. I’m excited for what the future has in store.
My oldest has been accepted into law school at the University of South Carolina and is slated to graduate college in May. I’m so proud of him.
My daughter is in two theater productions at the moment, and I’m very excited to finally see these plays that she has been putting in so many hours of hard work on.
Watching
I’m watching a lot of NBA basketball and as many Golden State Warriors games as I can. My family and I eagerly await each new episode of The Pitt. If you have not seen this show yet, you’re really missing out. It’s hands down the best show on TV right now. It’s intense though.
Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters is currently streaming on Tubi. Having grown up playing Tetris (and as someone who still plays Tetris just about every day), this movie is phenomenal.
Reading
I’m still reading Jurassic Park on Google Play Books.
Listening
I’ve been listening to a lot of 80’s hair bands and New Wave music as of late, and I have been streaming a lot of First Wave and Lithium on Sirius XM. I’ve been listening to a lot of Jazz while I work.
Thinking About
I've been thinking about finally upgrading to a new phone because Verizon has been sending me at least one offer per day, both via text and email, as of late. Sometimes those offers are decent, but sometimes they're crap. Most usually they are for an iPhone. The latest offer I received was for a “free” iPhone 16, if I traded in my current phone, while allowing me to stay on my current plan. However, my phone is technically still just fine, and I don't want to have to pay Verizon's made up fees or be locked into Verizon for another 36 months for an iPhone 16. I think I'm just going to hold out for a deal on something with a bigger screen for now.
