Just two quick things...
or maybe more.
1. i'm glad i'm not in love right now. and that i really haven't been in a long, long time. in seeing joey deal with it, with the uncertainty and such, it reminds me how lucky i am, in a way, to not be in that kind of position to be torn apart by anything or anyone else other than myself right now. and i can at least handle myself, i know i've gotten decades of experience there by now.
2. in spontaneously somehow deciding to work on organizing my digital pictures from the past 8 or so years, i've realized that that is quite the mission i have set out for me. so many pictures just scattered across hard drives and folders with names and no dates and dates with no names, and sometimes just one picture for a day.. it would probably take me a good 10-12 hours straight to get them all in the order and organization i would like to get them to.
but it is nice to go back and look at some of the time frames, see the changes i have made over the years, and see all the changes my friends have made too.
i know i've come a long way in certain terms, and i'm proud of that... but there's some ways in which i feel i have digressed or depressed or condensed myself into being somewhat less than what i know i could be or what i thought i wanted to be in the past.
things are a bit rough right now for me, though, at least in my relative sense of it.
i'm lucky if i get paid once a month for a week's work..
i crashed my car through a fence while driving drunk without my glasses on..
i got a flat tire on the way to thanksgiving in naples to meet with my parents..
my folks aren't leaving as originally planned, so there's at least another year with them around the house..
but it's all things that can work out with patience and care. and i know i have plenty of things to look forward to, still.
