Non Sequiturs

Haven't really been in the mood to blog this week due to bizarre circumstances. My boyfriend Bruce broke up with me via email on Monday. Yes, via email. Apparently, he was not capable of saying what he wanted to say to me over the phone or in person. I am not going to trash him or say anything ill about him. I still believe he is a good person but is having a lot of issues that I cannot help him with. I just wish he had chosen to treat me with a little more respect and personally told me why he was ending things. I've never been the type of person to overly dwell on things, so I will take a little time to deal with it and then move on. So I won't be discussing the matter anymore. It's history, I need to look forward.

I was supposed to go up to Chicago to see him next weekend, but of course that is out of the picture. Apparently there is a big Bear pool party here in town hosted by Barry Bishop that is supposed to be a lot of fun, so I am going with my friends Darren and Ken.

I got $10 lawn tickets for Depeche Mode in two weeks. I have seen them live a hundred times and am not really thrilled about going, but hey, it's $10. Pet Shop Boys are in three weeks at Chastain and I am very thrilled about that. Going with some good friends and have some good seats. PSB always put on a fun show. Then in October I am really excited about the Grizzly Bear show. They are my favorite band of the moment and I think it will be a wonderful concert.

I've only been working one job this week which has been very nice. Working 18 hours a day was not a good thing, though I am enjoying the extra money. Of course, now I am rethinking my job outlook and what I want to do and where I want to do it. I am actually seriously considering stepping up my search to outside Atlanta. I've felt like I've been in a rut for awhile and perhaps I need to look somewhere else. Just a thought.

Lyrics Rattling Around In My Head

"Don't let me make the same mistake again
I never felt this loss before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more
Please, Don't let me make the same mistake again."

Moby
"Mistake"

"And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
What I want
Since you've been gone"

Kelly Clarkson
"Since U Been Gone"

"You saved me from a rainy day
And melted all the clouds in the sky
Yes, I always wished it could be this good
So I thank you for just being so damn
excellent
You are so excellent"

The Juan Maclean
"Happy House"

"There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find that most of the time
Love's not enough in itself"

Depeche Mode
"Love In Itself"

Annoying Things

Being dumped via email, text, or post-it note
Having to date again. Ugh.
Getting stuck with a ticket to Chicago
The thin line between love and hate
