Tell the Repo man and the stars above...

An Update, eh D. Pursch? I can do that man. I've been living at home with my parents since I got out of school, mostly because I've never wanted to rent an apartment. I've spent my time working at a menial job, saving money and preparing to buy a house/condo/townhome. That's where my mind is at the moment. There's a whole lot more to it than I thought, which is strange considering that I started with the bank working in the mortgage department. After I finish buying the house and moving in and all that jazz, I'm going to try to figure out what I want to do with my life. I'm not sure where that will lead, only that I know I can't keep doing what I'm doing know and stay sane. I've thought about writing a book and seeing if I can make it that way, but I always change plots when I'm in the middle, so nothing concrete there. I interviewed for a couple of different journalism jobs but I've realized that my heart was never really there with journalism. I love knowing and I always enjoyed interviewing but the negativity of the newsroom drove me away. I lost touch with who I was for a while...thanks Mo'ian! I tend to spend my evening writing and thinking about music and sports. I've been playing more cards, reading more books and drinking a little bit of beer here and there (hurrah, eh Matt?). They have this product up here that you might not have seen. It's called Miller Light. Or Miller Lite? I'm not entirely sure, but it's pretty good. You should give it a try if you ever see it at a bar. Still not much of a drinker, but I'll knock back a few every now and again. I guess it makes me a little more tolerable. :) Anyway, that's pretty much the nuts and bolts of it. Made a couple of trips out to Vegas and Mexico. I guess I've been floating along, just kind of relaxing through the last few years. I'd like to travel some more and see the world, but it's all so expensive and I have no one to go with. And I think I'm at a point in my life where I know that I need to do something that moves me. As for what that is, I don't know. But I think I'm there.

I've fallen in love with the whole singer/songwriter category, or at least a couple that I've been listening to lately. I spent some time with Johnny Cash (thanks Walk the Line) and moved into Life in Slow Motion, David Grey's latest CD. That's one fantastic record, from front to back. Just fantastic. I don't think I could praise it any more. Grabbed some Jack Johnson (stoner music, but good stuff) and then watched a program with my dad about Jim Croce. He's got some incredible songs. My dad recommended Leo Kottke and I'm still working on his stuff. But still, a lot of acoustic stuff. I guess it's something for a boy with a guitar to dream about, right? Lastly, an ex gave me a Teitur CD, Poetry & Airplanes. Another great disc.

I suppose that's everything. I'm sure that music graph means very little to some of you out there, but it's a big part of what I've been doing, so I figured I'd share. Feel free to skip over it if you'd like.

"You tell me that it's evolution, well, you know. We all want to change the world."

Good night.
