the delicate sound of thunder...

im waiting for my dad in palo alto. hes got a dr. appointment this morning. i havent hung out around here in a while. so i decided to take a walk. but then it started raining. and i decided that i should find some place dry and a paper to read.

i feel out of place... all i have is an ipod and a blackjack... everyone else has an iphone.

4 months ago i was still cool.

at least my boots are cooler than anyone elses.

i have to go to san jose after this. and then dublin. i'm taking the weekend off. first one in i dont know how long. of course by saturday afternoon i'll be wishing i was on the road. and by monday morning i'll be dreading the first.

still i find enjoyment in not having to answer to an employer. i make my own schedual... even if that schedual tends to border on 7 - 10-12 hour days.

i still have yet to finish transcribing my great northern interview. im hoping that i find time for that this weekend.

news flash: im happy... for the most part.

i missed the pink floyd show this weekend. kinda bummed about that. im planning on getting tickets for the bridge school show next weekend. well see if i can swing that one.

i also missed metric @ the download festival this month due to my sisters wedding in vegas. not to mention trentemoller, justice and digitalism... all within days of each other. thats it. no more weddings little sisters. no more missing shows on account of you all deciding that youre madly in love :)

i just got a text (literally right now) from a friend that i was supposed to go to panama with. i cant make it. im to busy with work. i seem to remember this being the slow time of the year...

my dads dr. just told him to buy a book called the "mind that changes itself". its really interesting. it deals with the concept that pain is a learned reaction from the time that we are born. from the first time we, as children slip and fall, and our parents freak out. based on this concept... understanding it... you can retrain your mind to block pain. apparently it works. im looking forward to reading it.

my fingers are cramping up from punching little buttons on this blackjack. so with that... i say adeiu.
