Music: Now It's Overhead
I found out today that a close family friend died last night. Mike Pool was one of the kindest people alive and I'm glad that he finally found peace. He was fighting the results of a stroke from a year or so back, his son had recently committed suicide, and I guess it was just his time to throw in the towel. I can feel a piece of my heart drip away.
Haven't been in a writing mood lately... maybe its because I've been so happy, that combined with all the hours I've been working. I like the Beanery job just fine and Sean and I are great. I went camping near Cottage Grove this past Monday night. I got to swim in a lake for the first time in years making me feel like a kid again. I basically am looking forward to what this summer will bring me. I can't see much farther into the future than that and this is pleasing in a new and odd way.
Nearly done painting my room. Some may wonder what the point of painting over purple with purple is...I attest they are very different shades! Besides it gives me something to do in this big house.
My parents are going to visit me for sure this summer and I will be very glad to see them. I wonder if they will look older? I guess it has only been 7 months, but nothing shows the passage of time like wrinkles and grey hairs. Is it funny to deny the passing of time?
I hate it when an album ends too soon. I'm left hanging, the silence heavy, and I think that if I wait long enough it will somehow manifest just one more song...
I will always miss you...
