don’t have much time to write tonight. limited access to internet and being busy as HELL has made it difficult to stay current online, but I linked up somehow to this band on myspace. i am very much liking the sounds, maybe you will too!

just thought I’d check in with a quick post…

still catching up on sleep, and a million other things.
click the link below for pictures I took in Ireland and elsewhere.
I LOVE flickr!!

lauree’s photos!

I’ve had the hardest time in trying to load pictures to my flickr site. I have a whole bunch to do just that, but I’m thinking I may have to wait until I return home.

I adore galway, had the most heavenly fish and chips today.

Laverne and I are heading to belfast tomorrow to see eugene and sean. should be insane!

must run for now.

I’m at work but I’m barely awake.

could NOT sleep at all last night. my mind racing. I watched some tv. then I turned that off and decided on a cd, since I was home alone and didn’t have to worry about it being too loud.

I listened to some old Crooked Fingers, since I had talked about them on Postcard. Many fellow Postcarders at SXSW reporting back on events there.

Crooked Fingers wasn’t working after awhile, as songs like “Sad Love” and “broken man” which are both amazingly beautiful, are also very sad songs.

I moved on to some Chet Baker, but after awhile I just shut it all off. and tried to sleep that way. usually I need some sort of distraction from my silly mind that never seems to stop thinking.

no matter, I am pleased to say that I somehow managed to get all I needed to get done here at work before I go away and I still have all of today to finish up! granted, I have a few things to do, but really minor things to finish. how I managed to get ahead is absolutely beyond me.

lately, I’ve been thinking of the ebb and flow of how people come and go in our lives. I’ve been meaning to write my thoughts on this, but I’ve been preoccupied with many things. sleeping, working, trying to organize many aspects of my life. and prepare for Ireland. I know, no sympathies toward me, I’m going away, but this journey will most certainly make me ponder those who used to be a big part of my everyday life or just simply a part of it.

I suppose life just gets in the way and for whatever reason, we lose contact. despite this, it doesn’t stop me from wondering what some of those people are doing. I tend to be the one to try and keep up the contact, but every so often I get caught up in whatever it is that gets me to this point and I just sorta disappear. Not completely, but sometimes I’m almost there.

I once bought a huge wall map of the world in order to put things in perspective for me. at contemplative times like this, pondering my place in the world I think of a lyric from Pavement: ‘I’m an island of such great complexity’

I’m probably not making much sense. I’m exhausted, and it’s only 12:30am. sleep I must as work calls my name tomorrow.
