122: Spiraling

I hate it when this happens, but it always does. LIke clockwork. And usually after tour. You succumb to that urge to hide to avoid any kind of contact. That includes avoiding email / phone calls... and once the spell lifts, it's catch up time. You learn to play the game that you've been dealt. You ride that wave out and swim back. You just keep throwing out endless analogies to amuse only yourself. Ahh, i'm only slightly amused.

It's early, but 13+God is pumping and it's working. I have a crazy two weeks coming up. I leave work early tomorrow for a show in Iowa City. I leave work early on Friday for a show in St. Louis. I will be part of the "Win a Date With Threadless" extravaganza on Saturday night. Sunday night I will eat the greatest dinner of my life. Monday, i will be fed anesthetics through an iv while highly qualified physicians poke needles around my right eye. Tuesday, I recover. I lay in bed with nothing to do but complain to my girlfriend and play Ape Escape 3. Wednesday, I work. Thursday, an early post-op appointment and then I hightail it to Cleveland for the first of 4 shows. Only 13+God knows how awful i'll look that weekend.

Coffee.
