Today is such a complete turnaround from one week ago, it's hard to believe.
Last week, tree branches were bowed with ice. Cherry blossoms were encased in the freezing rain, the skies were featureless gray... Today, the sun shines down, dappled green and gold showering through the windows.
Things are so different from one day to the next, and I don't mean the weather. I heard about a possible job lead in Antarctica that turned out to be bogus... A friend of my uncle moved in, and turns out to be one of the best guitar players I've ever heard, not to mention being amazingly laid back. I find the depths of the internet and look on unfazed, but Grindhouse leaves me slackjawed. Loneliness is followed with sudden kinship the like of which I haven't had since high school. I go from nigh broke to hardly being able to close my wallet, to having no cash. I really listen to bluegrass for the first time; not the bullshit country (haw! Pun unintended, but it should have been) you hear on the radio (I just can't get into Johnny Cash, though). I'm growing more and more tired with video games, and wanting a good, solid book to sink my teeth into. Work goes from boring retail crap to moving shit (hooray new warehouse). I sit here with a bottle of wine in hand, under california skies and utah mountains, restless, tired, and generally ill at ease, because in one week, one month, things have already changed to a mindblowing degree. There's money here, and I'm growing more and more aware of how little I want it and how much I need it.
This isn't a tenth of what I want to say, but if I don't log off now, I won't make it to the tequila bar with everyone.
