"Constants aren't so constant anymore..."

I've been lucky to be listening to some incredible music lately. This past week I got ahold of the new Get Up Kids album as well as the new CD by the Innocence Mission. The Get Up Kids' "Something to Write Home About" is my favorite album I've bought this year. Old school Get Up Kids may complain about it, but I consider it the album I've been waiting a long time for somebody to make. "Birds of My Neighborhood" by the Innocence Mission is a wonderful acoustic disc, perfect for a quiet night. Today I also listened to the new albums by the Foo Fighters, Rage Against the Machine, and the Promise Ring...each are incredible in their own right.

28 October 1999

"It's by far the hardest thing I've known, To be so in love with you and so alone."

Autumn has finally emerged in Los Angeles, and I welcome it with open arms. The ninety-degree sunshine has been faded by an intangible fog and a haze that surrounds the buildings and trees of our city. The clock will be set back this weekend, marking the true onset of fall.

The other day I caught myself doing something I hadn't done in awhile. I caught myself thinking about what life would be like today had I made different decisions in the past. One decision in particular. Would I be in a happier place? Would I feel the sadness that I do now? I chose not to dwell on what damage I may have created. Instead, I just let it go.
