the best laid Plans

i recommend that you pick up the new Death Cab for Cutie when it is released on the 30th. i idly speculate that it is, uh, i mean will be, great.

life lesson this week: you sometimes can't have what you really want, and sometimes you are blindsided by what you never expected. a map would be handy right now.

once and future king

it is a beautiful day. the sun shines, a cool breeze hints that change is coming.

and change is inherently good, right? this is the consolation of a kaleidoscopic life - how the subtlest change in persepctive presents a new view that is both chaotic and novel, unfamiliar and engaging.

so here i am, 10 pounds lighter and, maybe, 10 pounds wiser. i wouldn't want to always measure my experience so tangibly. the weight i can't afford, the education i couldn't live without. do you ever feel like you're not living your life, rather, it's just a sequence of events that happen to you? and doesn't it feel good when you're ready to take the wheel again?

wake up. open your eyes. life begins again, and we're burning daylight.
