## Picking up the guitar for the first time in a while again...

...has got my fingers getting pretty sore. I forgot how much it takes to get my fingers back into dealing with those tough metal strings.

I've definitely been enjoying it -- and it's been a nice little break from hunching over my computer and working on my RunBurgundy project all night long.

Taking some breaks to get groovy and learn / relearn songs like:
* Weezer - Island in the Sun;
* Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You Into the Dark;
* Modest Mouse - Float On;
* Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?;
* Foo Fighters - Everlong; Learning to Fly; End Over End; Skin & Bones; The Pretender; Stranger Things Have Happened;

You might notice that I'm a big fan of the Foo Fighters.... They tickle my rock-bone (gross) bigtime.

Anyone have some suggestions for cool songs to learn? I like funk, rock, ska, classics (know a couple Beatles songs) -- all sorts of stuff!

Just needed to take a break and vent a little bit -- learning how to toss together charts in Django w/ [Chart.JS](https://www.chartjs.org/) has me almost pulling my GOD DAMN hair out...

BUT! I've managed to get a couple things sorted out... Shouldn't be too long until myself and others are bombarding STEEM with split times, run paces, elevation gains, and personal bests.
