I’m going through one of those periods where I am writing a lot on my site (and Myspace as well). It could dry up at a moments notice, but for now I have a lot to say…even if it’s just rambling bullshit.
I live in Athens GA. But for the past year pretty much, I’ve been out of touch with the scene. I’ve been too busy with work. It’s been a trade off, and I wouldn’t change my method because it’s meant a lot to our family situation. It’s been important for me to work really hard. But it’s getting to the point where I can restore a little of the balance. I’m only 28. I’ve got a few year to go before I turn into “the old guy at the club”. I am going to try to make the most of that time by seeing some shows! I will probably ease back into it after New Year’s.
I admit that I miss going out, having a few drinks and enjoying myself. Sometimes I go a little stir crazy from working all the time. I know, it is a little pathetic because I work hard, but not that hard. But still. All work and no play make Chrissy something something…and it also doesn’t help that Meggie doesn’t much care for seeing shows or having drinks. Actually that’s not entirely true. She likes doing those things but just not where I do. Her style of bar doesn’t have a pool table, for example. And the bartender’s know how to make cosmopolitans. And she likes to drink during happy hour. I prefer a hole in the wall place, late at night, with a pool table, loud rock music, and jack and coke that is mostly jack. And it must be named the Engine Room, formerly.
What’s with the trend of people walking around town wearing plaid pajama pants? Is there some sort of slumber party style going on that I don’t know about?
There are two guys sitting at the table next to me having an in-depth discussion on the relevance of Jesus Christ to their lives. those types of conversations make me cringe usually, because any religious discussion is very personal (or it should be). It’s an interesting conversation though, since these two guys have obviously made JC a close personal friend, and they are truly discussing him as if he were a bitchin bud. It’s unusual to hear things like that around here, since Athens is such a liberal anti-christianity place. Sure you can discuss buddhism, taoism, and paganism, and no one will bat an eye.
This reminds me…I found my Opiate cd in my shit tonight. Maynard is a guy who really has issues with organized religion. I wonder how long he’ll ride that dead horse. It’s good music but the topic gets old.
the two guys just got up and left. One was wearing one of those mexican ponchos that were popular 15 years ago. Relevance? dunno.
