The weather is beautiful today here in Austin TX. It's one of those days where everything seems to be perfect, aesthetically anyway. I opened my (vintage) cd case, instead of plugging in my iPod on the way to work, pulled out an old cd I probably havent heard in 10 yrs, the artist doesnt matter, the fact is it probably wouldn't have mattered what I chose because anything in that case would have sounded great this morning.

So I get to work where I do my already pretty well established morning routine.

I plug my phone in, I turn on and set up all applicable programs that I use on a a daily basis on my computer, including pandora, and then I head to the breakroom to get some water and coffee. When I get back to my office the song coming from my computer made me nostalgiac, almost teary eyed. I miss home today. I miss my friends at my old job today. The difference is that its not a depressing and trapped feeling like it was 6 or 7 months ago. It's almost like a comforting fondness of some of what might be the best days of my life. I love the life I have, and I love the life I left behind. Sometimes I wonder if I get those feelings at certain times when others are feeling the same things about me, and my absence. wishful thinkging i guess..

Anyway... I want to take advantage of this gorgeous day. I need to get in the gym, or just go walk around outside endlessly.

 

On another note.

I have not been drawing much lately, and I always promise myself that I will. I did however draw this rose recently, in the never-ending quest to create the ultimate "traditional" style rose.

 

Lastly....

I have been so out of loop on things lately in regards to all of the things that used to occupy my time. I know longer get angry at politics, because I don't really follow them, I dont get angry about meat-eaters ruining the planet, and I never even know what bands are coming to town, because I have stopped following music lately as well. I guess I have new things to be passionate about being that I have a child on the way, but I feel like I need to make some time for the things that make me feel alive, the anger that fuels me.. So, keep an eye out for the return of an angsty grown-up with to much time on his hands, and a short fuse.

 

I want to do these mega-sized blogs more often. I have a pad and a pen sitting here next to me where I jot down ideas about things that I need to write about so, to all of the blog-followers I have lost... come back...

 

DIG!!
