Today I live in a house with two close friends and a black cat. Things have mostly petered out since I returned from Hawaii. Although I had a feeling this would happen come winter, it's still vaguely disappointing. There are 168 hours in a week, and I spent 60 of them working at a burrito restaurant, another 60 or so sleeping, and roughly 10 hours recording a new LP with my band. I'm not fully sure what I do with the other 38 hours. They're spaced too oddly throughout the week. Mostly I either read or watch documentaries. Every so often I have company, which I like. Kosta and Brenna, Kate, or occasionally Steve and/or Mary. I always eat sushi on my day off, and I always eat burritos when I work. That's mostly all I've eaten. My efforts at learning new instruments have hit speed-bumps. I bought a piano, but need to learn how to tune it. I bought a violin but need to reset the sound post and replace the bridge. I was given a motor scooter, but New England winters are far too harsh to dare attempt putting it on the road just yet. A friend of mine painted portraits of me and my band which I love. They hang above my bed as I lay in it. Recording is going swell; I'm most fond of one song we're doing as a tribute to a friend who had passed away. It's one of his, and I just feel compelled to share it with others. That is if others end up listening to our album as I hope. Many of my friends have moved away. A few years back Norm left to Korea, Mark and Steen to Hawaii. Recently Julian went to Seattle, and Steve to New York. I always remember my high-school age as having been involved in a web of friends/associates that was quite vast, though now I feel it's narrowed to only a handful. It only worries me because I am too in-my-head to 'make friends', especially at this age. I think maybe I'd like to, though. I made one new friend recently who's a lovely human being. We have long talks, which I feel like I haven't done in years with anybody. That was always my favorite part about new friendships. Well, enough rambles from me.
