08:55 pm - damn
Shit. Here I am again. A break-up...a little over a year later than the last. And I was feeling GOOD about this one...really whole and smart and safe. Like me. Proud of my own strength and really seeing things clearly. And then...
See kids, sex clouds everything. And I'm nearly 29 and I haven't learned these lessons yet. Not at all. So I go against my intuition and then, shockingly (!), am feeling like crap. Hhmmm..I did stuff against my better judgement..wonder why that doesn't infuse me with joy and inspiration. Jesus.
This is a very simple lesson...something feels like the right path...stay the hell on it!

08:45 pm - NPR saved me today...
I was not having a great day. Between recently losing a client, comps and general money issues, it was just not that great. I spent 5 hours working on campus, thinking of my friends among the cherry blossoms downtown...and I got in my car to go to a summer job interview. Let's just say I wasn't thrilled. I flipped the radio stations and through my CD's...nothing was doing it for me. I landed on NPR and this great story about "Improv Anywhere"...it was AMAZING. It made me laugh and think...it was wonderful and perfect and it renewed my faith in my own intelligence and what lies ahead of me. I rocked the interview and got a little bit of work done later. Now I'm off to the airport to pick up a lady friend...and now I can spend the night at her place laughing at the story I heard today and how we're all vulnerable, to many things, all the time.
(If I was more techno saavy, this is where I'd insert a link to the story. But I'm not.)

02:08 pm - worn in
So, how long should it take for somewhat expensive shoes to become worn in and comfortable. Because I bought this pair 2-3 years ago, have worn them twice and both times they completely hurt. My friend had this whole metaphor going for me that at this time in my life, I'm "trying on new shoes" and trying to find ones that fit better, allow me room to grow, blah blah. It was a really good metaphor at the time, even though we were both walking around with serious blisters. And so, these shoes I've got are cute (I think) and are supposed to be super comfortable once your feet are used to them but for right now...there is just pain.
Another metaphor? I seriously hope not.
P.S. I wish I could send friends songs over the internet. Like, we'll be having a conversation about something, and I just want to be able to send them a song in response...I need to check that out.

08:36 pm - first timer here...
Hi,
So, yeah. Let's try this on for size. I've archived opinion columns online before, but that was under a different name and was a different time in my life. This time, I'm gonna be me, and the me of right here, right now.
Am I gonna tell people about this? I'm not quite sure. I mean, if it is just me, writing to myself, it really becomes a diary/journal. Which I have kept in the past and which people have been giving me like crazy (apparently Emily Post says a leather journal is the "sorry about the break-up/you are awesome" gift these days...and I'm not complaining!). So, why write on here instead of into handstitched pages lined with organic ink? I haven't decided.
Ok, enough.
