this is a weird feeling. i don't have to work. i have not had a break from work this long in at least 4 years. everytime i have had a break from work, it has usually been either because of finals, job interviews in various other locations, or because my car was having issues and i'd have to try to fix it in that spare time. all day i've been wandering around taking in the beautiful sunlight. i ran into many old friends and have been spending time hearing their stories. i've been admiring the foliage, the birth of a new beginning, the idea of amazing change and grace. life really is beautiful.
i also found out recently that people have been reading these more than i thought. for this i say thank you, and i will try to be as entertaining as possible with each post. this one isn't as much so considering i am at the library and forgot to grab one of my half melted and warped discs out of my car. i love when i forget that i have things in my car that could eventually perish from heat exposure/existing in a natural world/monkeys. then again, if i really cared about them in the first place, i guess i would have moved them a long time ago. there are so few of things that i really get nuts about taking care of. i realized this recently. its almost as if i could give away everything i owned and be completely satisfied. momentary value is put on so many things. it is put into items, into people, into places... why should i sit back and be upset that i'm sunbleaching my peewee herman doll by it being in the back of my car? peewee hasn't complained yet, and i sure as hell figure that reubens isn't going to come find me with a 22 magnum demanding that i move remove it from the premises. oh well.
in other random news.
i woke up today and attempted to write more poetry. i've been slacking on keeping up with my poetry journal lately. perhaps its because my brain has been so focused on this new job that i have not felt the need to focus on poetry and the screenplay. as for music, there are some new tracks coming about soon. i've been experimenting with some new elements of vocal structure that i havn't tried in awhile. the problem is that it's made me somewhat hoarse lately. so to the people that have noticed it slightly lately, no i am not sick. i've been trying to get my voice adjusted to screaming a lot, and to trying to break into classic soul singing. i'm not really sure if i can adjust my throat to such changes quite as easily as i originally predicted. i have noticed that it is based on the placement of the tongue towards the roof of your mouth. this is the weirdest thing i think i've ever written. it sort of sounds sensual. romantic? perhaps a little scandelous?
although its not remotly...
