Great weekend:
Friday night we got a crew together and headed to midtown. It was really nice hanging out w/ Eric and Lindsay again, we don't get together near as much as we used to. Live music is about all that is necessary for a good night whether you're sober or not [jb, bg, and I def. weren't]. I'm very thankful for running into Tatum and them, otherwise birt and I both might've needed rescuing from that crazy girl's house.
Not opening the shop until one is going to make the weekends a lot easier on Montine and I. I haven't seen two movies in the same day in forever. Click had me fighting back tears the entire second half of the movie. It would be awesome if everyone could have that dream very early in their lives. I'm really digging the kind of films that adam sandler is getting into now. Dupree is good, although not half as funny as Tatum made it sound like it was. I'm sure the rest of the folks in there assumed that she was hammered since it was after one in the morning and she was cracking up at every gesture that owen wilson made. I'm not sure what pj's puts in those flirtinis...
Today was nice, anytime you can get up and put down 5.5 in the middle of the hottest part of the day is a success. It's so crazy humid, but it's good for you. When you get to check out pete yorn at unplugged in the park for free and run into five different groups of friends, that's even better.
It's so crazy how life changes, even though that's the point. I'm always thinking about how there are so many different ways to live, paths to take, people to love, etc. I want to make sure I don't rush through anything. We've got plenty of time to get old and have kids and make a lot of money. I don't want to waste a lot of time pushing to 'grow up and be a man' [although I'm not saying that I'm not] even though that's what everyone assumes you have to do as soon as you get out of school. I think it's a lot better in a lot of ways to take your time and experience everything you need to feel like your life is complete. I just never want to hate anything that I do and have to do it b/c that's what I'm supposed to do or b/c it's what I have to do to maintain my quality of life. As long as you're taking care of your responsibilities, being a good friend/son/brother/etc., and enjoying life then you're doing just fine.
Growing up and getting married and having kids and all that is going to be great. I'm really going to love being a part of that 'team' and loving the good times and making it through the bad times. It all comes down to doing what you've gotta do to be the best husband and father that you can be. I think a large part of that is living your life the way you want to while you're young and experiencing everything that you can while you're free to do so. I'm just big on the whole 'no regrets' thing and that it's better to regret something that you did than something you didn't do. I know a lot of people could take that in a lot of different ways, but that's cool.
I know it all works out no matter what, it's just weird not being able to understand a lot of things. It's worse when you really want to make some relationships work and for one reason or another that can't happen. Although thinking and wondering about big questions like this is pretty cool too. I do think that this is the most complicated/confusing time for friendships in our lives though. Once you get a serious relationship or marriage then it is only natural to set up your hierarchy of friends/acquaintances and only put time into the top few. At least at that point it's totally understood and no one really expects anything different from you.
Man, life is so good though. I love it how you always have what you need when you need it, even when you can't see it at the time.
- now that's an existential ramble
