this... is exciting?
big move coming up - new house, new room, new lack of anything to do. i don't know if people read these anymore. i don't care. i'm far too involved to keep trying when every message i send is graciously returned with the proverbial, "not now." there were months of this; i should have just ducked and ran. if we were missed, there'd still be a glimmer of effort. and instead, there's a new interest. you'd think that when your search was done you'd know right away, and the truth is, you might.
the last few days have made me think about visiting old friends. i promised a trip to boston two years ago, and still haven't made the trek (i hope the family is doing well). california, and my biggest fan, deserve a stop, and i have a friend in missouri that i've been meaning to visit for some time now (and recent news might make that trip more worth while). i guess not having a job has the benefit of being able to leave whenever you want, but i'm sure that luxury will leave soon - better get some travel in now.
my eyes hurt from staring at the computer. but every second of the last three days has been more than worth the burden. i've started designing again and the distraction i've found is more perfect than any sort of ADD cure i've ever come up with. and i enjoy it. four a.m. with hardly a care, a cheap microphone and a beer - i couldn't ask for a better night. well, that's not true. if i could viably skip the microphone and the computer altogether, we might see a new set of sparks.
but it's all in the new book. it may prove to be interesting yet, but the conversation it helps spur is far more motivation to continue than the story at hand. a story of growing up, against the odds of persistently cruel, and unintended situations. a simple battle between youth and responsibility exploded out tenfold. i guess it all brings me here. a new chapter, if you will, both literally and metaphorically.
for now,
