What have I been up to since Insubordination Fest? I'll recap briefly and then try to some up with something to talk about. I don't know how successful I'm going to be in doing this, but I'll give it a shot.
Work hasn't been exactly spectacular, but I've got my motivations and know what I need to be better at. I had some thoughts today about work, and how things could unfold, and I'm a little creeped out by the thought of it. I'm going to do my best to make an impact in the next week and prove that the only dead part of my brain is the little distinguished gray patch up front. The other 98% works just fine, and I need to find a way to prove this. I'm not sure what this is as of right now, but I'll be damned if I don't figure it out.
I've been writing almost too much again lately. Trying to keep a couple of journals on my computer to empty my brain into and slow down the whirlwind of thought that is taking place in my 10% active brain. Topics are all over the place, but after I get finished I feel a strong sense of relief for at least a couple of hours. I feel like I'm typing the same shit over and over again but figuring out different ways of saying it. I've also started writing somewhat "creatively" or at least as "creative" as I can. I'd like to write short stories someday, but right now it's turning out to be hacked up poetry crap and stuff that would flow well in song form. I wrote a short poem about spiders that I'm sort of fond of. I won't post it here because it's embarrassing. No one will ever read that one. But anyhow, it's nice to write, it's an awesome outlet.
The 4th of July weekend was awesome. Good drinks with a great friend on Friday, a kickass sandwich, Twilight Zone putting me to bed and the following morning was spent with another 6 hours of the Twilight Zone. I left the next afternoon for the city and spent some time with Drew, Joe, Mick, Jesse, Laura, Danielle, and Sarah. We BBQ'd and drank some beers, then piled in some sober cars and drove to Glenside to watch some fireworks. I'm a fan. I like shitty fireworks better than crazy elaborate fireworks. I'm a pretty simple guy, believe it or not. Ha. I sat up late talking to Jesse (Blatz, Criminals, runs Alternative Tentacles records) about what the hell "Summer Casual" means. He got me all figured out, and it should be a pretty interested wardrobe for the wedding. I'm very excited for Saturday to see Zeke and Dawn "tie the knot" and spend the evening with friends having some dinner, drinks, watching some dancing and sharing the night with some wonderful people. I'm nervous, but I think that's probably more than normal.
Today was Brian's birthday. That son of a bitch turned 28 and I gave him a few records for his gift. He seemed happy. He went out to dinner with his parents and came back in pretty good spirits. That dude doesn't seem like he's having all that much fun sometimes, but he was in a good mood today and that goes a long way with me.
I don't think I've got much else to say right now. I slept for 3 hours in the middle of the day and it's going to totally ruin sleeping tonight. I'm pissed. Another night of no sleep. Oh well. I'll get back on a schedule tomorrow provided I don't fall asleep in the middle of the late afternoon again.
I need to do three things: (in no certain order)
Be brutally honest about everything
Be confident in everything I do
Never forget that my life is going to be lived for me
That's all kids! Have a blast. You're running out of time to make this year the best year of your life, and if you fuck it all up you've only got yourself to blame.
