Actually, I have no updates today concerning my music. I just thought I would right about what I felt today. I had to drop a guy off from work at the airport here. While driving home in rush hour traffic I got this overwhelming sense of how depressing the day was. Just because it was Friday and I used to be able to get out of work and go and hang out with my friends for a while at night. At least for a couple of hours.
That doesn't happen anymore. Once you have a wife and a kid, you have to be "responsible" and come home. I actually love being home. That's what I like to do on the weekend. Just sit at home and spend time with my wife and son. But life just doesn't seem right without some play time. Without some "just for me" time. Instead, usually I just come home and hang out, kinda grudgedly, and drink down a few beers.
It is just hard to head home when you know there is energy out there. People getting ready, people heading out. Meeting old friends, getting acquainted with new ones. I've been in this city now for over a year, and besides the people at work, I haven't met a lot of people that I've grown too close to. I have met a lot of people, but it always seems that when you start to be better friends with them, I have to back away. A lot of the people at work have their own lives too. So even the ones I've come to know don't seem to interested in spending time with other friends. They just want family time. Which is ok! I was at that point a couple of years ago, but I feel like I'm in a different stage now. It's just hard to talkt to people about how you feel on issues such as this. How can the world feel so lonely?

Where'd you go Jonathan? I was waiting for another post! I know sometimes it seems like everybody else is out living while you aren't, but trust me, you may be having less fun than the next guy or girl now, but sometimes you are having MORE fun. Yin and yang. I haven't had a kid, and sometimes I'm scared I never will, however, I can go out ANY time I want for a beer. It's just different it's not better. Sometimes I wish I were you.
Your right Robin! I totally agree. With anything the grass always seems greener on the other side, but the way you explained it is so simple and so true. It is just different.
I love having my son to play with and just be there for him. We actually had a great time this last weekend. It was far better than any night out that I've had in the past.
Sometimes I just get in one of those moods. Some days, you feel like eating chocolate ice-cream... some days you feel like eating strawberry. I was just in one of those moods. Although, they do come to me more often on Friday nights. Blast! :)
