20TB Drive Almost Full (and more musings on obsessions and changing circumstances)

My 20TB drive is getting near the limit. As the toil of managing an increasing amount of data is taking it's toll I am going to start deleting stuff soon. Just because Mike Millard recorded Yes 142 times doesn't mean I will ever listen to one.

I've actually listened to a Yes 6 show times. Saw them twice with free tickets, and transferred the recordings but once I brought 2 devices like WTF would I do that. Both were with the scab singer. I donated blood to KLOS for that ticket too. Not only was I bedridden for a few days missing shows I wanted to see I had to stop making not jokes about slitting my wrists.
 
Now if anyone wants to me digitize my DVD collection to hard drives I am down but I am going to need an office and a salary with benefits. As if dicking around with concert video all day isn't benefit enough.

I may be down for copying the whole thing under certain conditions, like US only, you must make yourself an additional copy, you must share at least a few shows on torrent sites or public forums, and whole drive or whole collections / folders. No profiteering but if I am picking and packing you are paying me by the hour.

As it is I find myself forgoing the nightly concert DVD in lieu of watching history videos on YouTube. The stuff kids are coming up with in their basements far surpasses even the best offerings of the Hitler channel a quarter century ago.  

Last night Pulp tickets crashed all the way to $11 until Tickpick pulled the event. However I opted for a late afternoon hike and then watched The Somme (2006) on Amazon. I should have gone to see Pulp instead. It would already be in the rearview mirror almost forgotten, instead this movie has been haunting me all night and will continue to do so for awhile.

Nicki Minaj at Staples was a serious option but I am in the midst of a THC reset and the most appealing thing about those shows is smoking myself into a stupor and enjoying the people around me enjoying the show.

Also I have always preferred wired earbuds to wireless though I might have to give them a shot. Not only am I replacing them almost monthly, now it appears the problem is the jack in my almost obsolete $50 phone and I don't feel the least bit inclined to go look for another one.

Turns out what I like the most about going to shows now is sitting on the bus or in line for a few hours listening to my podcasts with fewer distractions. What a crazy screwy backward brain I have.

Free tickets to the Led Zeppelin reunion? I think I will sit in the bed tent and listen to John Paul Jones bass tech's assistant on Rick Beato or fascinated with the one dude who's name I never wanted to know because I would change the station the second heard the first note deep diving on Lefsetz.

Or maybe I just getting really anxious around election time. I have always followed them closely, more for the entertainment value than any personal physical or emotional investment. However it sure feels different this time. But I am also easily adaptable and don't really care that much about the actual outcome, I just can't filter out all the people telling me I should care. When things really pop off I might just do it Afghani style and make sure I am on the winning side.
