It's Concert Day. Something about these days, the anticipation, the fact that I don't want to be sitting here. Tonight is the sold outTrain concert at the HOB with Bob Schneider opening. Today should be a good day. Should.
Had one of those days were I felt like pure espresso was pumping through my veins...I haven't had coffee in over 2 weeks. Stress much at work, oh yea. Time for Friday? Hell yea.
Tonights the first big game. I've played basketball since I was a kid, forced into it at first by my brother who was just wanting a rebounder, but later grew to love playing the game. I would tag along on Sundays to go play with the guys or shoot around (oh how I miss those Sundays). Organized teams started with the Fifth grade and had yet to stop really. I was lucky enough to play with a great group of girls a year or two my senior which lead to the State Championship game my junior year. I even got a letter of interest from the college I ended up going to, but decided to give it a break. I continued to play on intramural teams and at work I've become the only girl to play noon ball out on the asphalt courts. And tonight is the first of the Mens' league games through work that they had to ask if it was alright if I played...should be interesting.
So the cd organization didn't happen, but I was able to clean up my room a bit. Trying to get ready for the next couple trips I have coming up. The next couple of concerts coming up are Train at the HOB-Sunset Strip and U2 in San Jose...sad thing is, I'm looking forward to seeing the opener at the Train show (Bob Schneider) more than anything. Second thought...it's not sad...just more my style.
Okay, so after a day spent watching DVDs with headphones I'm feeling much better. The headphones where due to a sleeping roommate, not the plugged ear problems I'd been plagued with all week. Anyway, so now what to do....hmmm, I think it's time to tackle the task of organizing my cds. Wish me luck.
The internet, and more specifically, email is the death of my ability to write properly. I always enjoyed English class and figured to be a decent writer. Now I find myself butchering the laws of grammar and most recently have become reliant on the ellipse as a form of pause in a sentence. I know where it all started...a break in thought, more stream of conscienceness writing. Writing as it comes out of my head, but that has lead to some nasty habits. Where's grammar check when you need it? Mrs. Deegan would not be proud.
...just so you never have to ask why I don't jump out of bed in the morning to get to work. This would be the view I have from my office...trucks, pipe and a pumping unit. Those would be jars of oil on my window sill...ah, black crude, texas tea...
I just tuned my guitar. There are a few goals I have for myself this year, one if which is to learn one song on the guitar I bought from Kathy and figured tuning the damn thing would be a first step. It's just amazing what you can find on the internet...wonder if I can find lessons somewhere out there too...
