It snowed.

What. The. Balls.

Last time I checked its October 10th and thinking back over the last few years, I don't remember it snowing this early. It only snowed a couple of inches, but it was enough to cover the streets and ground. Its a bitter 30 degrees right now, and I'm thinking about busting out the hot cocoa. I suppose I should get as much out of my Iowa winter now over the next three weeks before I go. That's right, you heard me 3 WEEKS.

I think its slowly starting to catch up with me. The fear, I mean. I say this because my insomnia is kicking my ass. It's like a bully at school that just gave me a wedgy and stuffed me in my own locker. Not so fun.

But yeah, I try to go to bed around midnight-ish but lay awake for at least two to three hours. I try to read and see if that helps but as soon as the book hits the night stand and my head hits the pillow, my goddamn neurons are firing. Can't stop thinking about the days ahead. My father thinks I'm a worrier and needs to relax, but I suppose after all the shit that has happened I do indeed worry.

I'm starting to kick off the "Marcus Farewell Tour" this week by going to see some friends for the last time before I depart. It's bittersweet. Sad to leave some good people behind, but at the same time there is a whole sea of people out there that I could meet.

Time for that cocoa

Edit:

Ps. If you guys haven't checked out the new Muse cd that came out recently.. you probably should. Here's a sampling
