She Will Be Loved

Yes, that Maroon 5 song was in my head this morning. Actually, I think the band was in my dream last night. Or maybe it was just the song. I vaguely remembered something about the dream this morning in the shower (where my dreams from the night before usually pop-up), but I don't remember at all now.

My weekend was very interesting. Lisa and I had a fun time Friday night. We just went out to eat and had some drinks and talked all night. The night ended at this college bar that has 85 cent Shiner Bock drafts ... so that spelled trouble! The next day, Jay and I hung out and went all over town just for the hell of it. Over a cocktail, we decided that it would be fun to go to a palm reader ... so we did. Mine wasn't that interesting -- long life-line, love life is good, but I have questions, financial situation will be better by the end of the year, etc. Jay's was very interesting, since he is so closed off. She told him that he keeps his emotions to himself (very true), will "find himself" and peace soon, will go back to school very soon (which I think he already is), and find love soon. I don't believe in palm reading, but it made for good conversation afterwards. I don't understand why he doesn't talk at all about his personal life, he says that he doesn't like to feel vulnerable. I find that to be sad. Here I am, obviously a good friend that he can trust, and he can't tell me the simpliest of things. I'm perplexed. Anyway, the big shocker was when he told me that he had his tongue pierced at one time! Wow! Just amazes me that someone with such conservative looks would do that.

Sunday was awash ... I was worried about my interview on Monday all day long. I went with Lisa and her friends to see Duran Duran that night. It wasn't bad at all. After all of these years, they still sound good. I ran into one of my music buddies there, Matt. He was there with his wife. I haven't seen him in a while. He used to sing lead in a local pop band. He writes some great melodies, it'd be great to see them get back together.

The interview went well on Monday ... even if only 1 out of the 3 people I was supposed to meet with was there. I think I have a good shot at this job. The sooner the better.

You Learn

I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone, I certainly do/I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at anytime/Feel free/Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)/Hold it up (to the rays)/You wait and see when the smoke clears. Give her a break, Alanis was only 20-21 when she wrote that, so she still had a lot of growing up to do. Waking up to that song this morning made me remember what a phenemon that album (Jagged Little Pill) was. I can still go back to it every now and then and still enjoy it ... even though some of the songs haven't aged as well as others. Oh, on a funny note, I saw in the news yesterday that Alanis became an American citizen. It's funny how a star will criticize the U.S. left and right, and then become a citizen. I'm sure it's to take advantage of our lower taxes (compared to Canada) -- what a hypocrite.

Yes, I'm finally back. I can't believe its been almost 2 months since I stopped blogging. Reading my last posts, its sad to think how many things have not changed! I'm still at my job, though I believe the end is near. Good news is, I've had some good interviews, even second interviews, so all is not lost. Things with Lisa are going well ... however, I'm having doubts about marriage ... it may just be cold feet. The thought of commitment to one person for the rest o fmy life is scaring me. It's nothing against her, I love her and she is great, I just don't know.

Lisa and I are doing something tonight, not sure what. Maybe a movie or something else low-key. House stuff tomorrow, and hanging with Jay tomorrow night. Sunday, its to my parents house to celebrate Alissa's belated birthday, then we're going to see Duran Duran -- her idea, not mine, I promise.
