Happy (belated) Thanksgiving everyone! This year I have quite a bit to be thankful for. For example, I could be on a ship having terrible vegetarian food for Thanksgiving. I could also be very far away from Lor this year and not even in the same state. In consideration to these few, but important reasons, I'm thankful to just be home with a normal life.
This year was more different than last year. We've been vegetarians for the better part of this year. For example, we didn't do much with chicken/turkey.... However, we did enjoy sweet potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, fish, and other vegetarian stuff. Needless to say, it was great!
Now on to the other BIG subject that's been hanging over my shoulder like a monkey. True to form, Lor and I got to experience a Bridal Shower. Guys, wake up! (Clap, clap) This is information for you! Apparently, as girly as a Bridal Shower sounds. We all know it's a party which is all about the bride; however, it's also about you too. Which means the ONLY part you have to figure out, thanks to the Brides Maid and Best Man, is decorations and making sure people show up. After an early morning of prepping decorations and making sure everything was staged for everyone. I personally sat on the couch waiting for people to just show up. Needless to say, no one from Team G showed up. This is to be expected because everyone in my camp is either from the West Coast or Michigan.... OR the guys are on leave and not... REPEAT, not in town for the party. Which is what it is... I wouldn't have been if it was Thanksgiving Leave time. I totally understand. Otherwise, nearly everyone from Lor's Bride Maid camp made it to the party. Even the Officiant (our friend Bruce) came to the party. Everything was fun. We played games. Laughed and had a lot of fun.
In other news, I became good friends with one of Lor's friends. Here name is Anna. One night, when she came over for dinner and hanging out. She mentioned she had never seen any of the Rocky movies. Being American and feeling like I needed to help a friend in need. Well, Rocky night was a go. I had pop corn, beer, and chips with dip. Before starting our Rocky marathon Anna had mentioned her college project with a music video. Then I gave her a few songs to listen to and she heard ONE song which I had been meaning to get vocals for. Over the course of two nights she and I recorded vocals into the song and finished.
I'll say it was really fun to get back to plugging in the mic, making the make-shift studio and having fun again with the craft I love. I think the best is the fact the motivation for creating lyrics, or song structure was purely based pure innovation and non-contrived. I always feel the music works best when there's not rhyme or reason to collaborations. They just happen. So, Talios Wing (Anna's stage name) will be feat. on the new PostOmnis album. Specifically on the song "Vanished."

The next day, all the decorations came down. Then Thanksgiving was a go. Literally the next day all the Christmas decorations came up!
