So I was trying to figure out what I wanted to write about today.
















In the midst of weekend adventures, traveling around, exotic places that hold the unknown and unfamiliar




























– lots of things going on.
I suppose I could talk about why I’ve been feeling so great recently.
Nah, no one is interested in the cheesy things I have to say.
I think my state of mind has something to do with the future and the present.




























Ive been thinking about both quite a bit.
(not to get too transcendental or anything)
I keep talking about how 2007 is gonna be a banner year.
“the year of the rocket – everything’s just gonna take off!”
But I realized that for the past few years I’ve watched my friends and loved ones achieve things that just keep getting better and better.
















And me too. Things just seem to keep going up and up. One could have never imagined.
















I just feel like its been a good ride so far.




























Theres something in here about the weight of time
















and how we’re slipping through it
















and maybe that’s not a bad thing.
but im not sure how to put my finger on that thought, how exactly to articulate it.











So, in order to end this without leaving you lacking, Id like to quote the band Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young:
“do dodo dodo, DO do dodo dodo”
(speaking of, does anyone have any information about where Stills is nowadays? Somehow he has become lost in the popular vernacular, present but unknown. Thanks - )

you know that thing where everything just sort of seems to have that glow?
















where everything, even inanimate objects, seem to be feeling really "happy"?












(this is just an eggplant. but it stopped the checkout line at the co-op.)









where you see people who seem to be in that state and you think to yourself "god, cant they just be quiet? im trying to work here."
and you look around
















and you realize its you thats laughing. youre the obnoxious person who is so friggin happy that they find themselves giggling over nothing.

whoo hoo. 2007.

Went to see family for the holiday.













Its funny how the place where you grew up can look like somewhere else sometimes.













Or vice versa.













I saw my family, talked with them about some things. They’re great.













My granddad came into town as well, it was really nice to talk to him about things, the places he’s been, things he’s done. I hope when I get to be his age I can be happy about the memories of the life I’ve lived.













Eh, things look good now, so I suppose I’ll worry about collecting those memories later.














Maybe enlist someone else to help with their upkeep.
Yeah, it was nice to see family, but it’s also nice to come home again.
