so the day started off pretty shitty. well, of course it did, cause i had to get up early. and we know marcus loves mornings like a nice wave of the plague. but yeah, besides that, there's the whole wine thing. not happy about that. at all. but i've got to get up and go to work. i walk out the door and throw my headphones on, per usual, hit 'random' on the cd player. the first song comes on, and i'm thinking about some of the lyrics i'm hearing. two little bits stick out to me:
Be otherworldly
Count your blessings
Seduce a stranger
What's so wrong
With being happy?
She woke in the morning
She knew that her life
Had passed her by
She called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by
i start thinking... you know, i really ought to take some time and make more of an effort to enjoy some things. make the best out of life and blah-blah blah. so i started coming up with plans and schemes on my way to work.
~spreading the good word about jj. battle style.
~getting more into music. especially local / live music.
~getting more into the spoken word scene.
~going to cons. having a kickass time.
~stressing less over crushes / girls.
i might elaborate more on this later. but yeah, i think it'll be good times. taking control of the situation is good, right? gotta make the best of things and all that? that's what i'm thinking. not necessarily just with the wine, more of a whole worldly sort of thing. and anyway... yeah, that wine did have some sentimental value attached to it. so that has me feeling down. but in the grand scheme of things, it's not hugely important. it is a material thing, after all, and i try to not get too caught up in stuff like that. and considering how much these people have done for me, and how much they've given to me, this is pretty small. hope they enjoyed it.
nice to know, though, that people care so much. thanks kids.
