real life, real time, sort of

ths entry was actually written tomorrow, that is, an hour or so after the date stamped at the top, but I didn't want to double up entries for tomorrow (which is technically now today) when today (which is technically now yesterday) did not have an entry... if it doesn't make sense to you, no worries, it makes sense to me...

and the kids are alright...

none of us knew the kids (one who died and one who killed at Precious's school yesterday), but still... one of Precious's friends put it well when he said something like I didn't even know him, so it's weird that I don't feel traumatized like the teachers and counselors seem to want me to be, but then I think, what if it was one of my friends and I panic, ending the text message with I love you I love you I love you...

Precious has some beautifully emotional guy friends... she sleeps with this one... yes, sleeps... as in the Snow Patrol song... they are sitting on his roof watching the meteor shower tonight... I remember having friends that close...

so my little joy to the world today consisted of giving as I usually do (everybody seems to need so much), music, and a new gadget... I listen to people's problems all day and do what I can to inspire them to feel better and think positive... today was a good day as I felt it balanced out on the plus side... the plus side is a good day... I am not exactly sure how I stay on the plus side when it's give give give and little if anything on the return, but somehow I do... I think I am somehow recharged just to continue to make the choice to be positive and give some more...

whether it makes sense or not, it seems to work...

and then there's music... Jenny Lewis was fantastic... she surrounded herself with excellent musicians and while there maybe could have been more energy on stage, Jenny was adorable and gave a great performance... more country than I expected, but still great...

being in one of my old haunts again after a decade was weird... I used to open and close The Club for a couple of years a while back... back in the day, one might say... actually though, it was night... but we did party and dance well past dawn several times a week... they changed a few things inside, but not enough to make it unfamiliar...

and memories beg to come flooding back, but there is not enough time... alas, maybe those are the words for my tombstone if this body gets buried after it dies... there is not enough time... of course Lazarus Long knew time enough for love, but then, he lived thousands of years... meanwhile, back to real life...

so I played with my new toy... yes, the store gave me a brand new phone and it's got hours of fun awaiting me as soon as I find more hours to play wth it... it is really chock full of features and fun and hopefully it will not break again until I am ready to get a new phone, say in about two years... I hesitated buying it because all of my accessories are Motorola and for the past five years I've had good luck with Motorola phones...

but this W801i Sony/Erickson had the best features for the bucks, so it sold me... or bought me, depending on it's reliability...

and suddenly, slep...
