Wouldn't Be Caught Alive at this Show
Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal, and Harm's Way are playing at Wooly's in Des Moines, IA, on a Sunday night in November. There's no way I will ever be caught alive at that show! I hate Cannibal Corpse, the embedded Hate Eternal tune below sucks, and while Harm's Way seemed a little bit better than the other two, they play first and would likely only get a 30 minute set. No thank you!

Claiming 4:00 You Cannot Retrieve
Wow.
I wouldn't walk a step to hear this band - Aborted - in concert. This is nasty & ugly & I hate it. I heard about this band from this article - “Squalor Opera”: Aborted Debut New Song + Video - and regret I spent 4:01 listening to it that I cannot retrieve in my life.

This is Why I Don't Listen to New Music
I received an email from a publicist about a death metal band called "Art of Deception" which included 3 options regarding their new single "Lysjakt" (and no, I do not know how to pronounce that word). I could watch a video, listen to the tune, or download the single. Their forthcoming album - called Path of Trees - is being released on June 22, 2018. Feeling slightly adventurous, I clicked the link that says "Video of 'Lysjakt':
Then I saw this:
Thus, when I tried to listen to new music, I was turned away. I don't need this rejection in my life! <grin> I did enter "Lysjakt" into the Youtube.com search field. I was greeted with "About 5 results," which humors me because results are as close to a concrete thing in our digital world. I am smirking because people say "around 2 or 3 <whatever>" or "close to 2 or 3 <whatever>" when math - which I still hate - is cut and dry. I searched for a word and there are 5 results, as shown below:
There's NOTHING fuzzy about math. Or this:
That's insane drumming!!

Every 8 Days
I keep a hard copy journal. It is a 10 year project that began on 1/1/2012 and ends on 12/31/2021. Its duration is 120 months. I divided up the 120 months into 24 5 subject 200 page spiral notebooks. Each section of each notebook is assigned a month/year combination. For example, I am currently writing in volume 21, section 4. This volume has the following month/year combinations:
The reason I am writing about this project on this blog is that yesterday, I was talking to a co-worker, Jay. He and I were looking at examples of technical documentation and we happened to come to a math website where you could enter equations and have the website give you the answer. I said, "I wonder if it could figure out every 8 days from a starting date to an end date." Jay looked at me with a puzzled look and said, "Every 8 days?"
That led into a description of the second element of this 10 year project. I have a separate spiral notebook that has a page for each month of each year in the project. At the end of the 12 pages for a year, there are empty pages for me to write a summary of that year. I wanted to have a set schedule for when I would write in this volume so I came up with the idea of every 8 days. In this way, I am not writing in it the same day of every week. I started with Monday, January 2, 2012, and most recently wrote in this volume on Sunday, June 8. The next scheduled entries are
All of this windy prose is leading to a point. Jay mentioned Google Calendar and wondered if setting up a recurring event that is scheduled for every 8 days would get what I wanted. I opened it, created a new event, scheduled it for every 8 days and set an end date of 12/31/2021. I now have what I want and can enter each month's dates in my summary volume.
When I write about having a lot of projects going on in my busy life, this journal project is one of them. It doesn't mean I am not stopping / continuing with my other projects. For example, I just finished another spindle of CDs. One of them, from the death metal band Hypnos, has a track called "I am the Wind" buried as track 8 of 9. I have always loved this song. It has such an awesome tempo and structure. The drumming is interesting, especially at the 3:57 mark when the growly vocals kick in, followed by the guitar solo that isn't trying to cram a bunch of notes down the ear - it's quite melodic.
As for a count of how many music files I now have as a result of the conversion, I don't have that number. I have been dismayed by the number of duplicate files that exist from the effort to consolidate my files from multiple directories into a single directory. In some directories, like for Metallica's Black album, there are 72 files when there should be 12. I know that the number of these files is artificially inflating the count of files in my music directory. Additionally, I have also noticed that I have a lot of files with @(random numbers) appended to the end of the file. Those files are a result of copying from the other directories into the main music directory. I also want to eliminate those files as well to avoid inflating my progress.
I wrote some DOS commands to locate these files similar to these next lines.
Dir *(2)*.mp3 /s >2s.txt
Dir *(3)*.mp3 /s >3s.txt
Dir *(4)*.mp3 /s >4s.txt
Dir *(5)*.mp3 /s >5s.txt
Dir *(6)*.mp3 /s >6s.txt
Dir *@*.mp3 /s >at_files.txt
After I review the list from these commands, I will use more DOS commands to delete them. I don't want to blindly do that now because I don't really know whether I will be deleting files that legitimately have those characters in the file name. I suspect most of them are legitimately duplicate files, but I don't know that for sure.
There is a lot going on in my life that I hope to address in future posts. None of the things I want to write about are awful / bad news. Life is pretty damn good, especially after a conversation last night about a former employer with a parent of one of Alex's teammates. The parent I spoke with still works there and the more we talked, the more I felt that God truly does make things work out for me.
- Section 1: 9/13
- Section 2: 9/20
- Section 3: 8/20
- Section 4: 6/14
- Section 5: 7/18

Copyrights and Legalities
According to http://tinyurl.com/2w9xf5, one of the best Youtube.com videos has been removed due to a copyright claim. . It was an animated Neil Peart playing drums to the Rush classic "YYZ."
Instead, I'll give you death metal office drumming.
Sigh...
