 This week was okay I guess.  My dad did end up coming home last Wednesday, and he's going to be having his surgery in a month or so.  It's not as soon as he wanted, but the surgeon is on vacation so that's why they couldn't do it sooner.  He's been doing good, and has been off work so he's had a chance to rest, and recover.  

As for me I've been good.  I had a coworker that annoyed the hell out of me the other day.  The creepy guy that won't leave me alone he an insufferable personality, and apparently he can't enjoy things that take him outside his comfort zone.  He's also super competitive, and immature.  I've actually considered avoiding him altogether because I feel like it's a waste of time talking to someone like him.  Even though we both like video games that's honestly the only thing we have in common, and we have completely different taste in everything else.  Plus he creeps me out, and he legit wears the same clothes everyday.  I usually don't care about stuff like that, but it's like dude you have a job you can afford to care about how you look.  I'm starting to wish I would have never talked to him in the first place.  I even gave him a sort of *hint*, and told him I seem to attract "strange people", and he goes "I'm not that strange", and my response was "If you say so...".  

An old coworker texted me this morning, and mentioned we should have lunch one day.  I was really glad to hear from her because we ended up getting along really well when she worked here, and I'd been wondering what she was up to.  She told me I'd been on her mind which was nice to hear. :)

As for other things I've been reading a new manga I just started called "Black Clover", and I'm really digging it.  I love all the characters, and it's about magic so of course I'm all in.  

As for music I've been listening to all sorts of different stuff.  I honestly couldn't pin point it to one specific genre or specific artists since my tastes has been all over the place lately.  I've been listening to The Fin's newest album, and I've been digging it.  Here's a song from one of their previous albums that I really like called "Till Dawn"

In other news I'm really excited about the new Tomb Raider game coming out this year "Shadow of the Tomb Raider."  I wasn't too excited at first, but after seeing this video it made my hype level go up quite a bit.  I know a lot of people don't care for the TR reboots, but I honestly love them.  I do not miss the old Tomb Raider games at all, and I grew up on them.  The new games are a breath of fresh air tbh.

 This past week was good.  The weekend seemed a bit exhausting, and long, but I got through it.  I was having issues with my blood pressure over the weekend, but I realized it was because I slipped up and ate pizza.  Pizza is really my weakness when it comes to unhealthy food.  Needless to say after I did my blood pressure was up pretty high.  After that initial scare I ate very light the next day, and I managed to get it down significantly.  

As for other things I've been reading a lot lately.  I've been reading manga, and regular books.  I finished Parasyte vol 1, Haikyuu vol 1, and I've started Black Cat vol 1 as I've heard it was pretty good.  I have few more manga I need to finish, but I've been reading a lot in general lately.  I've been reading some philosophy books mainly HegelPlato, Nietzsche, and just books on metaphysics.  Despite me not being very religious I am interested in many different types of philosophy weather they be religious based or not.  I think many of them are different interpretations on how to live one's life.  I don't agree with all of them, but I think you can gain a lot by taking different ideas from each, and form your own opinions on which ones apply to your life.  It helps make me remain open-minded when talking to people about their own beliefs as well.  On a side note I think reading Hegel is essential if you want to understand the plot of Neon Genesis Evangelion.  The creator of that series said that the philosophy of the series is based off of this book. 

For anime I've been currently finishing up Dragonball.  I'm obsessed with Dragonball apparently, and I can't get enough of the show.  I just really enjoy all the characters, and the story I guess.  Either way I bought this really cool DBZ jersey from amazon.  Since I'm not a sports fan, but can appreciate the appeal of jerseys I figured a DBZ jersey would be awesome to have.  And despite it being bright orange I really like it.  I don't usually do bright colors, but I can make an exception for Dragonball I suppose. :)

I also ordered a remastered copy of Prince's "1999" album.  It has some of my favorite songs from him, and it's a gatefold LP so that should be awesome.  I grew up listening to Prince because of my dad.  He had some of his records, but gave them away to people.  He feels sort of bad about that now that I have a record player. 

Some good news, I'm finally getting paid for my injuries, and loss wages for that accident by my insurance company.  The other lady's insurance company however is being annoying, and they keep trying to avoid paying out.  I'm getting tired of dealing with her insurance company.  I'm getting tired of dealing with any of them tbh. 

As for music here are few songs I've been digging lately.  The one's without links I couldn't find on youtube, but by all means check them out if you're interested.  I should just make spotify playlists tbh.  Maybe I will one day.
