It's Late... This Probably Makes No Sense

Sometimes I will just stop everything, stare out into space, and wonder what the heck is going on. I haven't figured out much yet, but I do know a few things:
1) My brain functions on a completely unique and rather undefined wave length and frequency
2) With each passing year and weekend of binge drinking I am becoming a more dull person
3) Open communication with close friends is an overlooked tool for self reflection/analysis
4) 99% of the problems I think I have are all in my head
5) Brunch with a close friend can turn the ugliest morning into the brightest afternoon.

Tony Hoagland

But when Dean Young talks about wine, his voice is strangely calm.
Yet it seems that wine is rarely mentioned.

He says, Great first chapter but no plot.
He says, Long runway, short flight.
He says, This one never had a secret.
He says, You can't wear stripes with that.

I almost forgot... I hate my job

No Nails - All Heart

I just had this crazy dream last night where I was building a house for myself with my good friends and I kept trying to make it too tall and we weren't using a blueprint and it was being constructed rather sloppily and toward the end everyone was walking around inside to analyze the progress and it was surprisingly secure and well constructed [I think it's a metaphor for my bankroll]
