Fleet Foxes and more.

* Wednesday night I saw the Fleet Foxes live at the McDonald Theater and it was fucking awesome. Very cool, chill, awesome tunes were played and an enjoyable evening was had by all. I have this uncanny ability of winning shit all the time on the radio and this happened to be one of those winnings. I had seen the FF on SNL and was impressed with how well they played live so I downloaded some tunes and was even more impressed. Needless to say, I am fortunate to have gone and I'm REALLY feeling the need to make a trip to the Gorge this Labor Day and see the DMB. I NEED it. Would have gone last year but a very good friend was getting married that weekend so the trip was postponed. Plus, they are putting out a new album!

* The next tattoo(s) I will be getting is a treble clef behind my left ear and a bass clef behind my right. Still need to meditate a bit on the next session for the one on my back.

* I bought a new pair of running shoes ( :D ) and plan to start a new running and exercise regime for the next four months. The goal: increased stamina and a notable decrease in lap time. I'll be signing up for a 5k in May and then another one in August for comparison.

* My job is wearing on me. My two year review is coming up and its glaringly obvious to me that this job, at this pay, is NOT where I want to be and I'm itching for something more challenging and/or different. I really miss school and the satisfaction of getting closer and closer to realizing a dream of mine. Without it I feel as though I'm just treading water.

* I've realized that there are some people in this life who can be and are emotionally draining. Unfortunately, some of these same people have a close relationship with me, therefore escaping their encompassing negativity is not an option. I've learned how to deal with it and still maintain my emotional state but it takes work and after putting in a long week AT work AND at home, this kind of practice isnt appealing to me in the least.

* I have a theory on chemistry between people but it lacks sufficient scientific data.
