Non Sequiturs

New year and jobs are nowhere to be found. Had two projects get cancelled on me, so scrambling to find something. Last year, I only was out of work for maybe a week or five days at the most, while this year, I have only worked about 5 days. Tired of all this, but nothing much I can do except keep looking. Never thought I would be turning 40 and having to stress out about a job.

Speaking of turning 40, the big event happens on Tuesday. I am not upset about turning 40; in actuality, I really couldn't care less. I think I look great for my age, I am in the best shape I have ever been in my life, and I am surrounded my people who love and care for me. What else could I ask for? Well, a job would help ;)

LOST is back on for its final season and Tuesday's premiere was phenomenal. They keep taking it in directions I don't expect, and I love it.

My Coachella tickets arrived today and I have already booked a cheap flight to Palm Springs, so the trip is starting to come together. I have never been so excited for a trip. Great location, great friends, and great music.

Why do some women feel the need to carry a purse that is the size of a suitcase? What could you possibly need to carry in that thing?

I've embraced my inner bear/otter and have stopped manscaping. I forgot how hairy I can get.

It amazes me how people come into your life for a certain period of time and you feel you will always be friends with them, and then they disappear forever. I was in a nice group of guys over a year ago that seemed to be indestructible. Something happened between 3 of the guys and nothing has been the same. I rarely see any of them anymore. It's sad I guess, but I guess people are in your life for a purpose, and if that purpose is met, there is no longer a need for them. Sorry if that sounds cynical.

Lyrics Rattling Around My Head:

"You go for a walk in the park 'cause you don't need anything
Your hand that you sometimes hold doesn't do anything
The face that you see in the door isn't standing there anymore

In a matter of time, it would slip from my mind
In and out of my life, you would slip from my mind
In a matter of time"

"Walk In The Park"

"Love is like a sin, my love,
For the ones that feel it the most
Look at her with her eyes like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again"

Massive Attack
"Paradise Circus"

"Doubt, in it all for me
I've hit the wall, all that's left for you is doubt
Better you than me, I've so far to fall
All that's left for you is doubt
In it all for me, I've hit the wall that's left for you is doubt
Better you than me, I've so far to fall, but I can't change now"

Delphic
