The Luckiest
I know it’s cliche to put song lyrics on your blog, but this song moves me so much that I had to share it. God, to be loved that way…
I know
I don’t get
many things right the first time,
in fact
I am told
that a lot.
Now I know all the wrong turns
and stumbles and falls
brought me here.
Where was I before the day
that I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it
every day.
And I know
that I am
I am
I am the luckiest.
What if I’d been born
50 years before you in a house
on the street
where you live?
Maybe I’d be outside
as you passed on your bike.
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I
recognize.
And I know
that I am
I am
I am the luckiest.
I love you more than I have
ever found a way to say
to you.
Next door
there’s an old man
who lived to his nineties and one day
passed away
in his sleep.
And his wife, she stayed for
a couple of days
and passed away.
I’m sorry, I know that’s a
strange way to tell you
that I know
we belong.
But I know
that I am
I am
I am the luckiest.
A Night In The Life…
Sure, bartending has its drawbacks. Like having to spend an hour and a half cleaning the bar after it closes and not getting home til 4am, or getting absolutely no tip on a 66-dollar tab because some dick claims that I was “rude” and “condescending” when in actuality anyone who knows me will tell you that I am the last person on Earth who would ever treat someone that way and you seemed perfectly content to drink the multitude of drinks I served you (with a smile, might I add) all night and are just mad because you don’t like your life and are taking it out on me. Yeah, there are rare occasions when I don’t like my job.
But then I make $250 in 10 hours, more than I made in a week working at the local grocery store, and somehow it all just fades away.

Well, sorry about the site being down for so long. Chalk it up to excessive technical difficulties. I don’t even remember when the site went down, so I don’t know where to begin.
I survived a month-long condensed version of statistics with a B+, something I’m pretty proud of. True, it’s no A, but believe it or not it’s pretty damn hard to absorb statistics in a month so I’m fine with it. It was actually pretty nice to do something productive with my summer without having to give up the whole thing. Plus I got a whole class out of the way. I figured out my graduation plan, too, and I won’t be done until December 2007. If I had known changing my major was going to set me back that much I might not have done it, but it’s too late to worry about that now.
My dad is staying with me while he figures out his next move. It’s actually been kind of nice having him here. He is respecting me as an adult and not trying to impose any “Dad rules” on me and things are running smoothly. He’ll be off to Canada or God knows where else soon, so I’ve decided to enjoy his company while he’s here.
Hmmm… things with Ethan are going well. He gave me a pretty promise ring a couple months ago. It’s nice because that way when my customers ask me out I can just hold up my hand and say “Sorry, I’m taken,” an there’s no room for argument. Here’s a pic:
As for the rest of my summer, I’ll be working my ass off at the bar for the next few weeks while the bosses are out of town, then maybe a trip to California to visit my uncle. I also have a huge list of home-improvement projects to do around here, so I won’t be getting bored any time soon. I hope you’re having a great summer too, Internet.
