twicketfaceI had a particularly nice weekend that was relaxing and productive. Friday was a trip out for dinner and a quick jaunt to visit my parents. Then, onto shopping for Father's Day. Found something for my dad but not much else. Was able to return my gold chain (think Mr. T, but smaller) that broke for store credit, so I was able to snag two shirts "on the house".
Saturday started a trip to the Y and then stops at Target, the library, Goodwill, Fleet Farm and the bank. Got home, had some lunch and then cleaned out the garage and our "outdoor closet". Decided to go for a swim, since no one was out by the pool. Had a nice swim and decided to take a nap. Before we knew it, two hours had gone by. Got up and made some smoothies. Spent the night on the computer and finishing Monkey Island II. Good times, people.
Sunday Marie was gone all day for a trip to Wisconsin Dells, so I was home alone. It was quite nice. Cleaned the apartment, got Marie's oil changed, did some reading and switched VCRs. Mine is dying, so I took Marie's from the closet and hooked it up. I now realize I threw away two perfectly good tapes because I thought they were bad. So it goes.
Brian phoned around 4:00 and I went over by him to play some drums. Two good hours of "work", between Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "Greatest Hits" and Petty's "Wildflowers". I have so much fun with it, and Brian is a fantastic teacher. I need to work on my technique of how I hold my stix and my foot positioning for the bass drum. I just sorta started the way that I play now and need to do some tweaking. Good times. Returned home around 7 and got caught up with Marie's day. She's red, like a lobster from being at the water park, but no pain.
Went to bed way early (it was still light outside) and got woken up by a call from Terry. He had the plans for Poker Day and a possible jaunt to the lighthouse at the end of the month with Danielle. It is a reassuring feeling to know that no matter the distance between us, we'll always be friends. I'm feeling less and less of this post-college. I don't know quite what to make of it.
I fucking hate fucking talking fucking to fucking people fucking on fucking cell fucking phones. Fuck. The inability for both people to talk at once drives me berserk.
Maybe what I need is a vat of truth serem that I take with every meal, so I stop being so afraid of confrontation. How much stress/worry/tension would be avoided if we all just leveled with each other. But maybe it would just create more conflict and destruction if we were brutally honest with each other. Much of my past has been spent seeking reassurance. Why is that? I've got a wife that loves me, a small group of unbelievable and outstanding people that I can call friends, a family that supports me and a very priviliged existance. Still, I doubt. I don't ever want to become complaicent or have the feeling that things will work out just fine. It's like I need to be worried to be breathing. Ah, whatever.
Because I'm in the mood for a survey:
