Raining sideways; listening to The Eagles; Regrets
It's raining sideways outside. The wind is wicked crazy today (like that wicked?). I'm talking like 30-40 with 60 mph gusts, and we're in town. I can't imagine being out in the country or along the coast--it's supposed to be this way from Maine to Long Island today. I'd try and take a picture but the windows are covered with rain right now, so it might now turn out too good.
I was upstairs just now lifting some weights and what have you and I had my mp3 player on so I could block out the wind noise. Just by coincidence I had it cued up to playing The Eagles from yesterday. There are some songs that everytime I hear them they continue to amaze me, and The Last Resort is one of them. It's just right on so many levels. Brilliant music. But before that came on I was laying on the floor staring at the ceiling (ten minutes of workout is killer) and Peaceful, Easy Feeling came on. Man, damn that song. Everytime that song comes on I wind up thinking about a girl I once knew and should have known better, and it just kinda bums you out...but then not so much because you remember to have a peaceful, easy feeling about it all. But it still sucks.
Speaking of regrets, the UPS man just came by the door and I had the dumbest conversation with the guy.
Me: Man I can't believe you're out today. (thinking: Idiot. They always go out).
UPS Guy: Yeah, don't have much of a choice you know?
Me: Yeah. (as he's walking off) Well good luck. (thinking: Idiot. What does that even mean?)
Some people say that there's a woman to blame for all this. Could be...or could be the moron who parks on my street and honks his horn for fifteen minute intervals at a time. But I know... ¶ 1/18/2006 12:54:00 PM
