The Show
I played my first show for people I did not know tonight. I was so surprised. . .I wasn't nervous at all. Yet another miracle.
I opened with a cover..."Summertime." (You know, Summertime, and the livin' is easy. . ..) Then I played a song called Siren, then Bound, then End of You, then Lullabye for A Broken Heart, and then Tell Me You Still Love Me.
The crowd went wild, and during the last few notes of my last song, they jumped up from their seats and rushed the stage, carrying me around on their shoulders. Well, that's not exactly what happened, but they did applaud. . . that's a good sign, right?
It's too late, but I'm trying to get into the habit of writing more often. . .goodnight.

Blah Blah
Ok, here I am. Not gonna think about anything, except for accomplishing the task of writing a new post, cause I know I have been delinquent. . .and I add it to the piles of things I feel ashamed of.
Today is my birthday. I am 32 years old today. I can't believe I am 32. I remember when i was a kid, the thirties seemed like real adulthood. My parents were in their thirites when I really started to pay attention to how old they were on their birthdays each year. And now here I am.
I have to say that I love the thirties so far. Maybe because my 20's were filled with such angst, and I didn't know where it came from. But since I turned 29, I have been getting to the bottom of everything, and I am gaining knowlege, figuring out who the hell I am, and realizing that everything is going to be OK.
It's not going to happen overnight, I know that. Nothing happens overnight, really. Except weeds. But all of the things I want to change about myself are things that will take time. And I am making my peace with that. All I really want, at the core of myself, is to be at peace. To be at peace when I am alone. Just at peace with being, with existing. I think that will happen in time. I know it will. I am learning how to get to that place of peace.
I know this isn't much but I had to take a baby step back to the weblog. . .
