HOLY FUCKING SHIT I just discovered Opeth. Love it!
I'm going to see Secret Chiefs Three with Les Claypool in March. That will be amazing.
Things with the folks are good, my mom was really understanding and my dad just wanted to squash it. I wish he weren't so quick to put his blinders back on, but oh well. I can't change him, he can't change me, but as long as there is love I think we can deal with that. I think that's all I wanted to know, if they would still love me with all of my exposed "flaws." And they do, of course.
I'm going to start bellydance lessons next week. I really love to dance, my god. I was watching this video with Bill Moyers interviewing Joseph Cambell, and Joe was talking about finding your "bliss." He was saying that if you go in the direction of your bliss, you'll be happy and fulfilled, basically. I've been thinking about that a lot. I feel so alive when I'm either dancing or singing at the top of my lungs. I also feel pretty amazing when I do yoga, but more of a lightness, a clarity. I'm thinking these things need to take on more of a central role in my life. Which makes me wonder if I should be studying graphic design or not....it's cool and all, but definitely not blissful. Not even close.
Hmmm....I'm always changing my mind. I wonder if I'll ever commit to anything. I think I was a gypsy in a past life, because I always find myself in a state of transition. I don't actually go anywhere physically, but my mind is very transient.
Anyway, enough about me. How is everyone else?
