I hate packing. If I had a lot of money, I wold just buy all new stuff when I got to where I was going.
It's 72 degrees outside. Gorgeous. Good 'last day' temperature.
For a good time: open up windows, eat PBJ's and listen to The Kinks.
For a bad time: have one too many white russians. |

The edge stares dead into my face; challenging me to take even the smallest of steps forward, but I can't. I just can't. My feet won't move, or my head won't tell my feet to move or something...I am stuck in the middle ground. The sky above me shifts slowly past. Everything around me is changing somehow, except the ground beneath me. I know my part in all of this, but can't play it. Or won't. |

I have two whole days of nada! NADA! I'm going into the city and when I return, I shall have some kind of decorative piece for my room! So let it be written, so let it be done! |

One year. I kept it for one year. Granted, I damaged it in the eighth month, but it still kept going after that. All the way to today, when it broke on the floor of the Best Buy that's next door to my new job. And so I was caught with the ever-so-popular dilemma of having to replace the CD player that I so religiously worshipped. I spent twenty-five bucks to replace it and realized that twenty-five bucks is cheap for a CD player. I hate my new one. It's awful. I'm sure there's something good about it, but I haven't found it yet. I'm returning it and getting a new one the next time I'm there.
I'm glad that with all that's happening in the world, I can find room in my small heart to lament over a ridiculous piece of plastic. Hooray for humility! |

| A whole lot of meaningful nothing |
[May. 15th, 2005|01:44 am] |
I had absolutely nothing to do today. Really. Nothing. And it was perfect. No expectations, nowhere to be and no one to meet. My first perfectly open day in a long while. I took a real walk around my neighborhood today and surprised myself when I realized that I lived in a real neighborhood. There were people outside talking to each other, just talking, and kids running around with each other. I found a library and a park on the corner where kids swung like monkeys from trees and played basketball and soccer and drenched themselves in a big fountain. I remembered then what I loved so much about the Northeast. Of course, this kind of thing happens in Florida as well, but my memories of it place me in the Northeast. It's alive, it really is. It put me in such peace today. I felt one with everything, like I acted as just another cell in this great big fucking organism.
I bought some sandwich materials and made a monster of a ham sandwich, boy, let me tell you. I drank two cups worth of milkshakes and stuffed my underfed belly like tomorrow was an impossiblity.
I spent the day on guitar and getting drunk with my roommates. I met a neighbor of mine! Someone ELSE that lived in my building besides my roommates and I. She kept pleasant conversation and I saw her dog pee right on her leg, to which she just laughed in response.
The sun wouldn't let you stay in. Everyone just had to be out today, letting the world open up to them, letting everyone else open up, too. Maybe I'm romanticizing all of this. Maybe the day averaged out at five like most days. To me, though, it got up there, the nines somewhere. Of course, this would all have been made better by the appearance of those that I miss terribly. But man, New York in the Spring: nothing fucking like it. Nothing fucking like it at all.
May the fates keep you all in good health and good company. And may the night give you a peaceful sleep. |

| lazing on a sunny afternoon |
[May. 11th, 2005|05:13 pm] |
the afternoon is my favorite part of the day, so there's something really nice about waking up in it. then again, i'm only seeing a few hours of it, rather than getting a full afternoon in. So there's good and bad in everything.
in high school, when classes finished, everyone hung out in the courtyard at school and talked. i remember the stupidest things happening; the most ridiculous things, things that i cherish in memory. this would all take place in the afternoons, when the sun's light hits perfection and gives everything a gold tint. to be back there, man, y'know? shit.
I have an interview for another job tomorrow and will hopefully snag a new position at B&N. It's time to leave that graveyard shift. It's time to get a full afternoon. |

[May. 10th, 2005|08:29 am] |
Every morning, my Grandmother sits at her kitchen table, drinking coffee and eating rolls. When we lived with her a few years ago, we would join her for this morning ritual and I remember tidbits of conversations that we had about family, life, death, etc. So, having remembered all of that, I cut a slice of bread from this loaf I bought yesterday and poured myself a chocolate milk. For a few moments, I sat at the kitchen table again, reliving past conversations that we had.
I hope we get to do that again before the possibility disappears forever. |

Students at MIT are gathering together for a "time-traveler's" convention, where they will wait for people from the future to show up and talk to them. They figure that it'll work because they could time-travel from any point in the future, thus creating an unlimited number of potential guests. They ask that everyone who comes from the future bring something that will fix today's problems, like cures for diseases or new laws or things of that nature.
When I come back, I'm bringing chips and dip for the party. |

I work too damn much. At one job, I work around 40 hours and at the other I work 12. That's over fifty hours a week. That's stupid. So, I'm chaning my availability tonight, kids. Daddy's tired of being tired. Now daddy's gonna go to sleep with Mommy. We'll see you in the morning. |

The sky looks like it's being covered by a big, white sheet of paper, which always gives the leaves a strangely appealing tint. I've just gotten into my pj's and had a bowl of Cap'n Crunch Berries, which always makes me feel seven years old again. Van Morrison provides the perfect soundtrack for this perfectly quiet little morning that I'm having. Pretty soon, I'll be getting some much needed rest and will most likely spend more time in bed than I need to. I've got things to do, sure, but I am not above resistance to entangled bed sheets. If lovin' that is wrong, man, I don't wanna be right.
It's mornings like this that I really miss her. |

this entry is brought to you by my very first laptop! that's right, kiddies, i've gone and scored myself a pc for all my home computer needs! of course i'm giddy as a school child and felt that i should let you all know right away. Anyway, some things.
i saw the shins in concert. it was only the second concert i'd ever been to and it rocked, man! they sound so great live and i discovered that the lead singer is not the frontman, which is different but, okay, i can dig that. i wanted to get a shirt but they were 25 bucks, which is a little pricy. but hey, it was a concert, it was a good concert and it was my second concert, so i had a bad ass time!
i've put in some applications at a couple of barnes and noble, because it's time to stop working the overnight shift at old navy. i think i've been scared all these months about not having money, but i realized that there's no point in me being here if i'm not doing what i came here to do. i mean, i could fucking work at old navy in o-town, with my family.
frankie comes next week for his showcase. hooray for frankie!
and the new ben folds is awesome. |

i've worked both jobs in the last three days. i catch my sleep in the afternoon, which only comes out to about four to five hours, anyway. i'm running on fumes, right now, as one of my fellow tour guides has commented. tomorrow, it's back to tallahassee, where i will spend five glorious days con mi novia and will also watch my buddy play Romeo for the first of what will probably be many times in his life.
i've heard that dolphins mate for pleasure. mmmm.....dolphins.
for any 80's fans, madison square garden is currently being set for tonight's Duran Duran concert. expect to be hungry like the wolf on the rio grande. |

I just finished my first official "show" in New York (even though it was only two nights and I didn't get paid for it) and I feel pretty good. It gave me a little bit more confidence to go out there and do what I want to do. I forgot how much fun it all is. |

smart girls are sooo sexy, which brings new meaning to the term "smarty pants". i have a smart girl of my own but I'm nowhere near her smarty pants, which is quite unfortunate. ah, well, yeah. |

| | the shins - caring is creepy | ] |
It's early in the morning on St. Patty's Day. I'm in my underwear, listening to the Shins and thinking about this book I just read called The Time Traveler's Wife. It makes me think about my girl and how she truly is the love of my life. It's cold in New York, but the melting snow tells of an oncoming Spring. I can't wait to wear a t-shirt in this place. I'm leaving my job soon and am looking forward to sleeping at night instead of working. I think about being up here, about theater and graduating and leaving home and being away from everyone I truly love, about how I'm taking care of myself and money's good and everything right now just feels...good. And I smile. |

I'm getting my ass whomped on by 13 year olds in online chess. It's embarrassing. I'm leaving the country and moving to Lam in Indonesia, where I'll never be heard from again. Except on Christmas, because I want presents.
I love presents. |

Crystal and Frankie are coming up for Spring Break! I expect long hours of laughing, drinking, and mabye a threesome...okay, we probably won't be drinking.
I've started rehearsals for this farce I'm in. So far, it's going pretty well. I'm excited to just be doing something again. |
