starting nowhere and ending up somewhere...

Well, I'll try my best to make this as vague as possible because I really would hate to be too personal. I will use some wonderful lyrics from a wonderful song to organize this blog although it will most likely not appear to be so organized.

"This may never start. We could fall apart"


I am sitting here drinking a Red Stripe and eating a large slab of cranberry crunch bread that I recently purchased from the farmer's market this weekend. Yeah, it's been a pretty good night so far.

Sweeney Todd was even better than expected. I have decided that I enjoy going to plays.

Dinner at an unnamed italian restaurant was interestingly awkward for a number of reasons. The booth and the chair were so disproportionate (dude, that's my new favorite word) that I ate most of my dinner with my elbow bent upwards at a funny angle. I also had to resist the urge to begin coloring a not so pleasant picture on the weird paper thing that they put on the table and then I had to try to decide if it was my date or maybe myself that the waitress had it in for. Seeing as how I was thirsty when we left, I have now decided it was me. I still tipped decently and was able enjoy the company and the food, so I don't think it was a total loss. No nothing was lost.

So anyway it was a good weekend. And by good I mean great...

"This may never start. I'll tear us apart"

Disappointment followed by strong relief are both necessary feelings at this time. I love moving forward.

Conflict is created by our own self-imposed views.

It's been a conflicting weekend, but I tend to make things more complicated than necessary. I am generally easy-going and simple, but when it comes to important things I over analyze and over complicate. I think I made the right decision. I know I made the right decision.

Once a decision is made, I don't go back. Stubbornness is one of those traits that I am unable and unwilling to modify. Sorry...

"This may never start. Tearing out my heart. Can I be your memory?"

I knew that change was coming and now that it is here, I am thrilled. It is surprising that I used to resist it so much.

I am trying to become a nicer person. I am nice already.

Despite the fact that I have worn long-sleeved shirts all week, Fall weather still seems far away.

The trip to Memphis is now a certainty. Yay for direct flights, civil rights museums, Beale Street, my friend's new place, and new traditions. Too bad the Jesus college people decided to take away my much-anticipated fall break at the last minute. I was looking forward to having that week off, but I suppose I can't have everything...

I don't have the time to think and reflect on everything anymore. I will have to trust myself on this one...

"...For a moment I know that I live..."

Night,
