Lately

Haven't updated in a while. In Arizona, living with friends, I've found that it is very difficult to sit down and write when there are so many other things you can do. Between work, school, going out on the weekends, being hungover, going on trips and doing a bunch of other stuff that I really enjoy, I rarely find myself sitting in my room with time to write. I have so many other things on my to do list and none of it ever seems to get done. I love it though. And I don't really want to trade it for anything. But alas, the time is coming near.

I love these two songs. I've been listening to Merle Haggard radio on pandora lately. I get to listen to stuff my Merle and Johnny and Waylon, and Willie and every once in a while, they'll play new stuff by people whom I've never heard of. I heard 'Lodi' first by Jeffrey Foucault while listening to Pandora today and I fell in love with it. Right after 'Lodi' played, 'Whiskey' by Trampled by Turtles came on. There's a verse in the song that goes "My home is with the hills and trees around me, my ceiling holds the moon and stars above. So I'll never be a lonely man a'walking. I'll never live one day without love."

It makes my heart yearn. I want to travel and not be stuck anywhere - ever. I just want to go and drive and feel the wind and get sunburnt and eat different food and wake up after going to some local bar and having a blast and experience everything there is to experience in life. I want to meet strangers and hear about their life. When I work, I want it to mean something. I don't just want to have a job that gives me an income. I want to do something I love. I don't want to spend my life wishing I did. Anyway, they're both great songs.
