Just when you have hit gold it turns out to be nothing but a painted rock.
Well not that bad at all. Just thinking about stuff. I must really come across as being very depressed, but really I am not. Most of the time I a really happy and upbeat. Someone once said, "Reality is what keeps me different from you." To some creating their own little world and shutting out reality is the only way they can function. For me reality is a must live situation. Hopefully it is for you also. How can you truly feel emotions and live life without facing reality? There are a lot of people that can't or don't have the ability to deal with day to day living. So what am I getting at? Just face it and deal with it. One of my favorite t-shirts of all time that I own has the words Deal With It on the front. I try to face problems as they come down the pipeline and also try to foresee them. Sometimes that is hard and I am far from perfect, but you can't run or hide from your problems. You can paint over them and then one day the paint fades are they are still there. It is way too easy to focus on the "bad" and negative things in life. Try looking towards the fun and exciting aspects of life no matter how bad it gets. If you don't like the way your life is, change it. Don't be afraid to take risks and get out there to change what makes you unhappy. It is good. Believe me.
False sense of reality and getting revenge for what others have done to you isn't the way to live. You can spend all your life chasing revenge and then to realize that it isn't as fulfilling as what you thought. Where did that get you? Nowhere.
Just remember the above when you are done wrong or when you feel trapped. There is always a way out that still leaves you breathing and happy in the end.
The above was just some stuff on my mind lately. Thought writing about it would make me feel better. Guess what? It did!
Leaving in T-minis six hours and counting. Got the iPod and laptop already for the trip. Don't get me wrong I love to drive, but flying offers a whole new experience. Since I first touched foot in Maryland almost nine years ago, flying has opened my eyes. Where else can you observe so many different people from all over the world in one place other than a airport? I can sit with a book/iPod and just watch people. They are so damn interesting. All the anxieties and emotions involved in flight and vacations are amazing. I know when I wake up at 5 a.m. that my stomach will be turning. Smile for me.
By the way.....the roommate stuff is something I am really thinking about lately. Is it really worth living with someone who is always down in the dumps because his married girlfriend is fuckin with his mind? I know it isn't my problem and he repeats this over and over. May not be a married chick, but she always has major emotional/mental baggage with her. He seems like he wants a girl that doesn't have a mind of her own, needs him other than for love and makes him feel like he has to fix things for her. C and I have sat down with him and talked to him about it. He doesn't get it. How can you love someone else when you don't love/know yourself? Ya Can't Dude!!
Will be updating on the road for the next week. Bringing my most prized guitar on the road with me, the 1982 Gibson Les Paul Custom Silverburst (see my pictures). She is really really freakin heavy, but she is also perfect. I usually play my strat in the house because it is very light and easy. Plus I have been writing songs on it since I was eighteen. So the Down and Out Without Love Tour '05 begins tomorrow morning. Got your tickets yet???
I leave you with a Warren Zevon song that he wrote right before he died of cancer:
Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for awhile
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for awhile
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for awhile
There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sometimes when you're doing simple things
around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile
You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on
your blouse
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you
Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for awhile
These wheels keep turning but they're running out
of steam
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
