| so march is over. things are back to normal in my life. when i say “normal”, i mean in a particular context. i sometimes feel, and i know that there are very very many out there who would agree, that i have three basic settings… “normal”, “ecstasy” and “tragic”. i can jump from pretty much any setting to any other in the blink of an eye, with the sole exception of “normal”… “normal” takes me anywhere from a month to a year to get into. i think that it has something to do with gear ratios and flywheels or something, but whatever the cause, it takes me forever to spin down into a natural and uncomplicated mode of being. time goes by so slowly when you are trying to get things back in order, and everything seems to be a chore (“didn’t i just wash the dishes? didn’t i just iron this shirt? didn’t i just fix this bug? didn’t i just leave this city? etc. etc.). but i’m back to full health, and that is a joy after last week’s utter collapse. i had the worst run on wednesday, but i had a kick-ass workout today. spring time is here. i have the two sweetest, cutest, most bothersome cats ever to be spoiled by man. i had a fantastic adventure this afternoon that i will write up tomorrow. i rented “the illusionist” and “the departed”, so i’ll be plenty entertained this weekend, and on top of it, jim and i are going to see “zodiac” tonight. yup, normal ain’t so bad. - g 80's song of the day for cheering yourself up on the subway: one small day, ultravox |
