15.8.15 00:39		So I KNEW that there were almost 400 RSVP'd to the Bad Bad Hats/The Awful Truth show, according to their Facebook Event page. I also knew that it was over 3.7 miles on foot, according to Google Maps. Finally, I knew that it was almost 80º and almost 70%!h(MISSING)umidity, according to The Weather Channel. Even knowing ALL this, I decided, what the hell, it's an 11PM show, let's walk to Icehouse. How bad could it be? As I waited in an incredibly long line, trying not to be really obvious about how badly I was sweating, it almost came as a relief when, single digits of people from reaching to the threshold, a voice announced "WE ARE AT CAPACITY: IF YOU DID NOT BUY A TICKET, WE ARE SOLD OUT." I could have left the house 10 minutes earlier, or I could have walked faster, or I could have taken the car and probably found a parking spot that would have still required a good amount of exercise, and I could have been inside, but I didn't do any of that. I took a different path home instead. That's actually not the point of this story, although it does get us closer to it - mostly I wanted to make sure I got out that I walked over 7½ miles - or is it more impressive to say 12 kilometres? - but beyond that, the fact that I was seriously questioning my sanity about three miles into my walk TO Icehouse ended up swiftly erased as the universe, as it often does, dropped a huge sign that I was doing the right thing with the placement of a $20 bill on th sidewalk of Franklin Ave between Clinton and 3rd with no other human beings within a block of me as I collected it. So, the point! NOW I have this $20. What was the intent of this good fortune? • Should I have taken it as a sign that I should have paid for a cab home instead of walking back? (This was the mostly likely message, but I have ignored it.) • Should I have offered one of the people who paid $8 + inconvenience fee the twenty bucks to take their place inside? (I barely wanted to pay ten bucks of my own money at the door for this show. By the way, let me tell you all about inconvenience fees and what a scam they are--I'm digressing) • Should I buy all the Domino's I can eat, and balance out the caloric deficit I'm currently running from all this exercise? (I'm not hungry, so I guess not.) • Should I remind myself I have already incurred a $15 late fee paying my car insurance so perhaps this is just a balancing out of thst? (I don't feel like reminding myself I was three days late on a payment I should have made weeks ago, so let's forget it and move on) I don't know, but it DID give me this story to tell you about why I ended up at home at midnight on a Friday night instead of subjecting you to two more barely legible Instagrams. Everything DOES happen for a reason; it just takes me a while to figure it out sometimes. Balance!
30.6.15 14:02		So I made one of these yesterday. RT @crz_ebooks: That sound you're hearing is my birthday!

3.12.14 10:10		Check out my rogue eyebrow hairs (and eye appt-dilated pupils)
26.6.14 15:34		Segue to #tbt; me in Philly at the r.s.p-w Con (1995) during my brief reign as one half of the ECW tag team champions http://pic.twitter.com/vmpWNk8mDv
5.6.14 02:09		Doin' my small part: I gave NameCheap $1.99 to hook me up with a Comodo PositiveSSL certificate for a year, so now you can visit https://CRZ.net/ with an "s" and everything! #ResetTheNet (Sure hope I did everything correctly)

6.1.14 14:17		I don't do Facebook during work, but Mom (who is NOT on Facebook, so I have to tag Dad: Attn Gary Zimmerman) asked me for photographic proof (1) I defied the governor and went to work (2) I'd shaved. I have no idea what's up with my collar. Also, I doubt Gov. Dayton REALLY told me to stay home...if he did, he was probably engaging in hyperbole. (photo)
4.7.13 21:39		Got my hair cut
6.6.13 15:53		#tbt Seven years ago tonight - birthday Staraoke (also, I believe this was my first MySpace profile photo): http://pic.twitter.com/6kC8gmoWsk

11.4.13 18:03		CRZ HERE: Currently not dead at the moment - but the day ain't over yet
2.3.13 16:52		Whoa! I'm up to 700 followers! THANK YOU SPAM BOTS AND RANDOM MIDDLE EAST FOLKS WHO NEVER ENGAGE ME!
31.12.12 18:02		Past few years I've tried to share a Grooveshark playlist of stuff I listened to from the previous year but in 2012 I was really awful about listening to stuff from 2012, so sorry I have nothin' to share this time. We'll see if this is an aberration or a trend - or if I finally hit that age where I give up on playing "future DJ" and just listen to mostly 1970s and 1980s stuff for the rest of my natural life.
13.10.12 04:05		It's one of those things I always feel like I should say every time I come home from a fantastic night out with brilliant, fascinating people (and I'm PRETTY sure that's not the alcohol talking) but...well, I'm privileged to know a lot of super cool, interesting, amazing people - who, in turn, know ANOTHER group of super cool, interesting, amazing people - and I'm lucky to get the occasional chance to leave the house and spend some quality time with all of them. Thanks dudes.

2.12.11 14:53		Wow, I can "shorten" http://CRZ.net to http://CRZ.se/1314 - only 4 chars more! (Of course, Twitter will further munge both of 'em)
