I slept way too much last night, and now I'm groggy AND wired. Go fig. I have a distinct craving for large quantities of coffee, preferably laced with mocha. I wonder if Riverside in Ellicott City is still in business? I haven't been up there in for-ever. I know most people hit Mad City, but there was just something about going to Riverside, bumping into Bob the wandering artist, and just sitting back with a hunk of cheesecake and a huge mug of fresh coffee that was relaxing. I still have the black and white sketch that he did for me of a witch and her familiar. Hangs on my wall next to my portrait of Marvin the Martian.
Uh oh, I'm getting nostalgic (sp?). I can hardly believe that was almost 10 years ago. Where has time gone? It seems like I was 18 just the other day. Hell, it seems to me like I still AM 18. But no. I'm 26. Crap job. No degree. Life going pretty much nowhere at break neck speeds. Not terribly upset by all that. I think I'm more upset that I don't have the energy to go on long walks in Patapsco State Park at 11 at night anymore. I'm more upset that I'm too chicken to climb up on top of the train tunnel and throw nickels into passing coal/gravel cars on the train going through. I guess I just want things to be the way the used to be when I was just out of high school.
Oh well. At least I've got a good man, a cute kid, and friends willing to get me hammered at a moments notice. So, I guess things aren't so bad. Just different. Stupid growing up. :P
