another reason to love google…authors at google.

ok, not really. but i’m sitting in my hotel room in PA, trying to finish up a few things so i can go to bed. but gladiator is on HBO (and a “behind the scenes magician show” talking about “catching a bullet in your teeth”). i’m not a russell crowe fan, but that movie is awesome and very distracting. ok, and now there is a reality show on the CW evidently entitled “farmer wants a wife”, which i watched for about 2 minutes until i looked up the title.

in any case, i wanted to write something, even if insignificant. it’s a good start for making it a part of my routine, i think. but we’ll see how long it lasts. still, i’m sitting all alone in a hotel room a thousand miles aware from where i want to be and who i want to be with, and i wanted a distraction that wouldn’t kill brain cells.

writing definitely beats a reality show about a farmer that wants a new wife. and gladiator might possibly be the best movie ever.

go to them.

sometimes i feel like i have two distinct, completely separate lives.

one life revolves around my work life. i get up, go to work, spend my day doing the best that i can to make a difference. indeed, an ant can’t move a rubber tree plant.

my other life outside of work is a series of hobbies, events, and eternal exhaustion. i try to cram so much stuff in to my free time that i never feel like i accomplish anything but, at the same time, i get to do some amazing stuff. last night, i had the distinct pleasure of shooting a concert for The Happy Headlines. they interviewed Tickle Me Pink, a band out of fort collins. the band was great, and very gracious for giving the interview and allowing me to shoot some pictures of their set. it was all very surreal, but i got some good shots, i think. we hung out after their set to watch the headline group Sick Puppies, too. the bass player was, as the kids would say, indeed sick. her technique was insane, and her right hand moved at ludicrous speed!

this post was going to be more deep and meaningful, but i started it days ago and have since lost the momentum. not on my other life, of course, just on the post. my other life is what, i think, will keep my work life from driving me insane.
