Seems to be a pretty stormy night outside, or at least it sounds like it.
So, yeah, I guess it's been a while since I wrote here. Things have been going pretty well for me. I've accepted something of a promotion at work, which basically involves me doing all the stuff I usually do with the added bonus of the key to the store. I suspect I'll be closing the store a few nights a week pretty soon. In the past, I've always viewed such a move as being undesirable. That by taking on this level of responsability, I'm actually conceeding to a life of retail hell. Of course, another way to look at it it that I finally feel confident enough in myself to take on these new responsabilities. I think it's more of the latter, and try not to think of the former.
And, really, things are going so well for me these days that I don't believe I've made any concessions at all. The new band with peter and martin is plugging along, slowly but surly. The GBV cover band played to people for the first time on monday and though i did get a bit too drunk and played a little...ok, quite a bit sloppily, in hindsight I think it went well for a first time out. And it looks like Le Coque is gonna start playing and jamming again. Added to that my harmonica playing in JWolf and things are pretty awesome music-wise in my life.
This is usually the point where i'd say something about my personal life...and...I got nothing. I've been having a great time hanging out with friends and stuff, but that's pretty much the extent of it. Which is all I want right now. Ok, that's not entirely true. Once and a while a hint of loneliness will creep in and make me question my wants and needs. But then I quickly remind myself of what that ever got me, along with how good my life actually is. And that sometimes you're better off just being content with what you have.
Alright, well...that wasn't so hard. I haven't been writing so much because, in a way, I think things are better if I keep my thoughts to myself. While I've been pretty active socially with parties, shows...whatever, I feel like i've kinda been mentally and emotionally cutting myself off from people. Repositioning myself? I don't know...nor am I totally sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Fuck, now I'm just rambling.
Anyway, abridged version: Life is good. Lot of music going on. Just want to hang out with my friends and have a good time.
And for the record, my valentine's day will be spent working til 7, then most likely renting a movie and chilling out at home. And I'm quite happy with that.
