A Word A Day Keeps the Dr. Away: am I the only one wearing shorts?

am I the only one wearing shorts?

"am I the only one wearing shorts?": said the mc at a recent concert I went to...it was cold and raining

jen took me to see Daws, She & Him, and Band of Horses this weekend in Bend, OR for my birthday. it was fan-friken-tastic. there was ice cream to be eaten, fireworks to be seen, $100 to be accidentally drawn out of the ATM (the $100 button was so darn close to the other amount button), and so much more. I've said before and I'll say again that lighting really is the cherry on top of the sundae at any show and whoever conducted the lighting for the Band of Horses set did a mighty fine job. as for my actual b-day...meh. not so great. but that was to be expected. birthdays seem to be always be crummy (more so when it's your 21st and you're straight edge...so no 21 run for me).

Eat My Words

I was once prescribed to keep a journal. I was told, write anything down- mundane occurrences, incoherent thoughts, complete nonsense- ramble on and on if I must. I did such and quickly found "what a power there is in words; later for those who hear them, but first for the one who finds them; a healing power, a solution, like the breaking of a barrier" [ayn rand]. I learned that "it helps to write it down even if you then cross it out" [nada surf]. I mean, think about it...most great authors wrote from a place of pain, their words laden with suffering, but through this inked art form I would like to think that a shred of health and sanity was salvaged just by sharing their words. and to that I dedicate this blog.
