Currently listening to:
�Quasimodo� by Lifehouse
You could be right and I'll be real
Honesty won't be a pain you'll have to feel
'Cause I dont' need your approval to find my worth
I've been trapped inside of my own mind
Afraid to open my eyes to what I'd find
I don't want to live like this anymore

Now listen, I thought it over last night. And it struck me. What have I got to feel threatened about? Next to nothing, I broke up with my wife, I plan to quit my job today, my apartment is rented, and I have no furnishings worth worrying about. By way of holdings, I�ve got maybe two million yen in savings, a used car, and a cat who�s getting on in years. My clothes are all out of fashion, and my records are ancient. I�ve made no name for myself, have no social credibility, no sex appeal, no talent. I�m not so young anymore, and I�m always saying dumb things that I later regret. In a word, to borrow your turn of phrase, I am an utterly mediocre person. What have I got to lose? If you can think of anything, clue me in, why don�t you?
-from A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami

Why is it that I can relate to this character so much? I think this quote expresses what I've been feeling lately. I would elaborate but then I�d start rambling endlessly. And then none of it would make any logical sense whatsoever. You�d be confused. I�d be confused. The animal cracker I'm holding in my hand would even give me an odd look before I bit its head off.
Yes. I said animal cracker. I even think it's a sheep. No, wait. It's got udders. Never mind.
Umm . . . I better get off the computer now. I may come back later (when the crack I'm obviously smoking wears off) and try to explain myself. Or maybe not.
Later . . .
Ok. So instead of writing anything really thought provoking, I thought I'd just fill you in on some mundane details.
My friend Khiem (hi Khiem) is helping me kick my butt into gear by getting me on the courts. I suck though. Big time. Even with a handicap. Even with a HUGE handicap. But thanks for the pointers on and off the court, Khiem. He's like the older brother I never had. And I mean decrepit, fossilized old, but he still kicked my butt in basketball. I suck.
Well, I got a jam-packed exciting week ahead of me. Got interviews this week. Gonna try and book gigs in D.C. Picking up Aionna from the airport on Wednesday evening (yay!). Picking up Joann from Baltimore on Friday evening (yipee yipee yay!!). Going to Richmond for the weekend for Joann's bridal shower and seeing all the crazy W&M girls again (woohoo!). And then I have to head back into D.C. on Sunday to celebrate my brother's birthday. And of course, I'll be working on my game. =)
Oh and before I forget, I just want to say hello to Grace and Annie. My two most avid readers (and probably only two). Can't wait to see you guys this weekend!
