i think my problem is that i don't think anyone would really want to read my ramblings. my lack of xanging is the problem, by the way. but i told stephen that i would try to get my act together and do this again everyday. i work everyday. i take a lot of pictures and turn them into DVD's so other companies can get rich off the information. what have i done lately that is out-of-my-ordinary? well, last night i went to norman to see "the neighborhood", and consequently got to see some people that i rarely ever get to see. that was very nice. also, i bought "our voices choked with fireworks" (the neighborhoods new album) and i have to say that i am really really enjoying it. damn good stuff. so, tonight i am going to play some poker with my sister and brotherinlaw and also another friend who i have not seen in quite some time. i think i shall try to make this week the week of reconnecting. i miss my friends and i forget how introverted i am until months have gone by without me seeing a majority of the people i really love. so if you are also feeling disconnected from me and would like to go get some coffee or something and we can sit and talk, i am sure that i would enjoy your company. also, i'm playing music with people again. i forgot how much fun it is. ben |
