Mixed Bag
-Tommorrow is a long time may have the most beautiful lyrics ever. Thanks to Bob Dylan.
I'm busy, working at apple, rehearsing "Green Eyes" and playing shows, which are now done until august. But I really took a chance and took a stand at work, and really got smacked down for it. I'm still a little pissy about it, but that's all I can type due to secret issues. But I'm glad that I took a stand, because I can be proud of myself.
I feel like I'm taking some good steps in my life. I'm still very homesick, and unsure of my life path. I've got theatre, I've got music, and I've got apple, all wanting my full attention, and some days, I want to give one or the other everything. Especially days like this, where I'm so damn tired. I used to really freak out about it, but I'm starting to get a better perspective on the whole thing. (speaking of freaking out, I spanked steph at monopoly, and she geeked. soooo funny.) But I just have to resist the desire to commit to one or the other in a time of weakness. Although, I'm going to make a strong run at music after green eyes closes. I may get the album finally recorded. But I really want todo a play too. I love doing green eyes, but I want to really fucking act in some obsucre absurdist text. and then I also don't want to be poor any more and make boatloads of money working for apple.
So, as you can probably see, I haven't comepletly come to peace with the problem, but I'm making headway.
-Patsy Cline is my favorite female voice - ever. I always think about riding out to the horse stables, when I was young, and my great aunt would always listen to patsy cline in the tape player, and I would ride horses, and I would sing patsy cline to the horses because I couldn't get those haunting melodies out of my head. I hope I can ride to a horse when I come home. That would be great.
speaking of coming home, I THINK that I'll be coming home Aug 20 - 27th. That is, vacation is approved at work. If so, people of home, we should hang out. I'll spend a day or so in abingdon, but mostly in BSG. Then who knows when I'll be back again. I'll definately post a blog when it's definate.
the itenerary is; go home, head up to abingdon, go up a mountain and put myself together again, meet the family's new dogs, play some music, and maybe figure out what to do with the next couple of years. Oh, and hanging out, and drinking, the usual.
And if there are any places to play music back home, I would love to do a homecoming show. I have alot of new stuff, and I want people to hear it before I lay it on wax.
Ok, I'm going to step back before I drone on for waaay to long.
Peace.
