Two straight nights at DeSoto

Dudes,
Whatever I write right now is going to sound like I'm pissed. I suppose I am, but I also feel more free and happy than I have in a very long time. Listen dudes...it just isn't that serious. Nothing is. I'm a microscopic speck of dirt who is breathing, moving around, and whining on an almost as microscopic speck of dirt flying through space. My bullshit means nothing and neither does yours. 

On my way home today I pulled over at a gas station to grab a diet coke. When I got back in the car the engine wouldn't start. I had a brief freak-out moment because I was 200 miles from home and a couple hundred dollars short of being able to get anything fixed. I sat there for a second, took a sip and ate some almonds, and then I just started laughing. I knew if my car wouldn't eventually start I was going to be stuck in this random mountain town for a while. For some reason that became hilarious to me. I've driven about 3,000 miles in the last two weeks, and this is where it was going to end. What a grand finale! Nothing short of what I deserved.

Well my car eventually started and I was on the road again.....Just can't wait to get on the road again, the life I love is making music with my friends, and I can't wait to get on the road again. If you don't know what song that's from you should eat some anthrax.

I'm seriously considering voting for Willie Nelson for president this year. Obama=annoying, Every Republican Ever=fucking annoying. And don't try to tell me about Ron Paul's "Love Revolution." The only reason anyone likes Ron Paul is because he reminds all of us of our crazy uncles. At first you just think he's nuts, but if you listen to him long enough his twisted logic starts to make sense. Then Thanksgiving is over and after you're home for a few days you think back and realize that he is, in fact, just nuts.

I guess I'll get back to why I'm pissed because that's what the kids come here to read. I'm really big on fairness, honesty, and privacy. All three of those things are currently an issue in my life. Apparently if I'm an active participant in society I must endure violations in those three areas on a regular basis. Why? because people don't understand that it just isn't that serious. Why is it so hard for people to tell the truth? Why is it so hard for people to treat others fairly? Why is it so hard for people to allow others their privacy? BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SO FUCKING SERIOUS! Can we just get on with it, please?

There are so many fun and enjoyable things about life, but we obsess about all the shitty things that tear our spirits down. I'm beginning to learn that even the shitty things can be enjoyable in their own way. I've been told my whole life that the world is a big, scary place and to look around every corner for evil. You know what? Fuck that. I'm not saying it's not true, but why do I have to live that way? As far as I know I'm only going to live one time so I'm going to do my best to enjoy it. I'm going to tell the ones I love how I feel about them and do my best to make their lives better. I need to forgive the people who have hurt me or done me wrong, and do my best to rebuild relationships with people who I've hurt or done wrong. I absolutely do have one specific person in mind and I'm working on it. She has my key.
