calling + not calling my ex

Sammy's 1st bday party w/ everyone in Houston was great - I'm beat though. Halloween was surprisingly fun: scored a super cheap scary kids costume at Walgreens at 9p right before heading out. Ended up spending most of the night w/ Linda, Kyle and that crew in kirkwood/reynoldstown bar hopping + at that huge sampson st party - crazy that someone actually lives there. Still surprised that more of my friends didn't care to do anything but I guess that's how it goes as will increasingly go as everyone 'grows up.' That's all for now - back to work.

This song just came through my itunes at work - def hit home...

She was once mine
that smile that shines from the glossy magazine that's stuck inside the Sunday times
She was so sweet
On Christmas eve
With the snow set deep when we went walking through the pines
I had just been fired and her first offer had arrived
and the new year would see her flying far away from me
though I didn't know it a the time

With out-stretched hands
now she commands a famous figure
for every picture
and she stands up strong and she demands
and they deliver
yeah she's a fixture
and it's mixture of dumb jealously and fear that I might feel
should she appear
just like it hasn't been three years
And there's distance to her voice over the phone
and that's because she stands alone
while I'm still sitting here

girl you see me here on another quite night
I will wait until another indistinguishable day arrives
I'll sigh when the light is even and bright
where my life is sweet while it's slightly disappointingly just gliding softly by
girl you won't wait for me
in some secluded stand of trees
some Christmas eve some god was kind enough to set aside
Although I love you too, I'm proud of you
God knows I'm feeling really stupid now
for ever having said "goodbye"

During the fight
I said yeah right
when insisted that I'd visit
that you'd write
Now I know you're working hard so I never hear from you
and that's fine
you look the same on TV as when you where mine

I walk in from the kitchen and I finger the remote control
I watch you from the distance you go walking through the terminal
I remember every instance when you stunned me
well you're so lovely yeah you're so smart

So go turn their heads
go knock them dead
go break their hearts

go break their hearts
baby break their hearts
and I know you will

The holidays were nice: This was def the weirdest/worst Christmas ever but still good times. Nanny's was different since it's hit the point where it seems like it's time for each 'family' to go their separate way now + w/ all the new little kids and the 20-somethings growing apart. I'm looking forward to having the Fuller Christmas in Charlotte next year. I do love getting more from Mom + Robert than any kid over 14 should - it's pretty awesome how much they've done + continue to do for us. I got to spend a few days w/ Brooke before taking her to the airport on Christmas eve - that was def the best part of the holidays by far. Dad and I got out and played some golf w/ DJ Sparkles as our personal caddy on an unbelievably beautiful day for late December [or April for that matter]. It wasn't hard to tell that it'd been months since I last touched a club. Grandma Salter's was different this year too; mainly b/c Mom + Robert left for Houston on th...

too much sex [too little jesus]

What an awesome title for a rock song. Man, I love dbt. They've got it all. It's just dirty, rowdy, heartfelt southern rock. Anyway... Mondays are weird. I always feel like a slacker b/c everyone else is at work and I'm not, even though I work Saturdays and I went into the shop for a few hours today and did some freelance stuff. I guess it's just me. Such beautiful weather, it seems like the weather's been pretty much awesome for the past month or so. Pretty good weekend. Friday night we checked out Front Page News in midtown. It was pretty cool, I just miss the good ol' days when everyone else would get a little crazy, seems like they're all so chill now. I guess that's how it is when you get in a relationship though, so that's good for them. I guess I feel like having a girlfriend doesn't really change the way I act that much, but maybe it does. I'll work on them though, now that even more of us are in the city. Saturday was an ...
