I took a walk

23, Jan 2009

Today is extraordinarily beautiful. Clear, sunny, somewhere in the Fahrenheit upper-fifties, which is approaching what we know as “perfect” on the Sims temperature scale.
I feel happier than I have felt in weeks.
I feel human.
It was about two miles of absolute wonder. The wind blew my hair (which is about 50% longer than it has been [...]

I’m back

20, Oct 2008

Yes, I am.
My time at the University of Kentucky ended and my self-discovery by personal definition by occupation journey faked to fake completion, I am a college-degreed waiter.
My emotions surrounding this situation vary by the day, if not the hour. It’s a job. It’s only rarely a bad job. Last Saturday (10/11), a double [...]

Unsettled

3, Mar 2008

Everything is strange today.
I don’t know what happened. My stomach is turning over and my mind is racing. I’m worried.
It was a beautiful day, now it’s a beautiful night and the only way I can put it is that I’m unsettled.
Kind of Blue is helping some.

Eclipse

21, Feb 2008

It was unbelievably cold and only three came out any good at all, but the sight was truly incredible and it was a beautiful distraction from paper-writing.

Someone tell me how to be rational about what’s happening right now.
School isn’t working for me anymore. Finance isn’t right for me, I’ve known this. I’m confused about [...]

So this is Christmas?

21, Dec 2007

I guess I didn’t get the memo.
What an unusual year it’s been. Sometimes extraordinary, other times remarkably underwhelming.
I am recommending Pearl Jam’s Live on Two Legs. Dig it.
Go see live music.
Happy holidays, everyone.

Well,

I can’t seem to get what I want to say into concise lyrics right now. And I have a lot I want to say.
And then there’s the fact that I’m writing better guitar parts than I may have ever written. It’s almost certain that I’m trying too hard. This tends to happen. A great deal [...]

Writing

9, Nov 2007

It initially seems redundant (and perhaps pretentious) for me to write about my writing.
But maybe it isn’t when I write about my lack of writing.
The band Widespread Panic just bores me to fountains of tears, but John Bell had it right when he penned the line:
Inspiration
Oh she barely waits a moment
I’ve had a [...]

Forward?

8, Oct 2007

So I’m in a really strange spot right now. I don’t know how to articulate it. Lots of nerves, lots of excitement, lots of regret.
Ever since I’ve been back from Europe, I’ve been mostly bored to tears. There’s so much interesting about not knowing. Not knowing where to go or really how to get [...]

And I’m really confused what I’m doing here. Europe (flickr) was unreal. Like I’m really still not to terms with the fact it happened. And it was so positive. Literally amazing. But I’m startled by how the same everything here has been. I don’t know what I exactly expected, but whatever it was turned out [...]

I leave this afternoon

27, Jul 2007

Let’s mark the time here: 4:33 AM. Too excited to sleep for the first time since my very first blog post–apropos.
I don’t really know what to say about it. Now is the time my pangs of self-doubt and apprehension would generally hit, but they are instead replaced by quiet confidences and [...]
