It's strange how the old mood cycles go. I wanted to be here everyday, updating the progress of this or that. Keeping tabs. Keeping in check. But then there is the part of you that just wants to shut up, not say a thing, hide, disappear, etc etc. I'm digging my way out of that at the moment... I am thankful today, you know why? I have a job. It's only temporary but it's just what i need. Something to occupy / inspire and not to mention generate some monkeys to keep the nagging bills at bay. It's at
Threadless.com and i'm pretty psyched on it. Thanks to my friend Rani for hooking me up. It's an amazing atmosphere, my co-workers are cool, and I have a lot of time to think... There are drawbacks, though. For instance, during my 2 year employment stint at an office which not only spawned the
Are You Wearing A Wire site but also about 90% of the lyrics for the first two Hey Mercedes releases, i found myself in constant funks. Since I had to get up so early, I was utterly exhausted once I returned home to my apartment. When I found the energy to get out there and do something, I was even more exhausted the next morning. In fact, many nights were completely wasted by sleep that began less than an hour after I got home from work... These feelings are back. I slept in this morning, but had to hurry out the door once I awoke to catch Whole Foods before they closed and good fucking thing that i did because I was able to nab the
last two Tofurkys in the freezer. But now i'm just tired and babbling. I have really great friends and they are all clutch players. Thanks for putting up with me... So anyway, today is no holiday. Tomorrow is the holiday. Tomorrow, we gather together to celebrate the little known anniversary of Shanksgiving whereupon a group of humane pilgrims and native americans stole and set free 101 turkeys before they were slaughtered and cooked. Thus, Thanksgiving was postponed a day and the good folk of the colonies were forced to concoct a turkey-shaped feast out of soy, wheat, and bark. Today, the Tofurky company has replaced the bark with wonderful spices and we cook chow the hell down. I'm cooking it up tomorrow along with some garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. Amen... So yeah, i'll get out of this. We just have to sit and wait for the upswing. Wait for it...
