No, for realz. Today was a fantastic day. I woke up early, made myself a big delicious mushroom/cheese omelette with bacon and an english muffin. Downed a pot of dark roast. Went on a lengthy stroll with Ashley to the Rosehill Cemetary. Finished off the last 40 pages of my book assignment. Laid, chilled, relaxed in the sunshine. There's something about cemetaries that just put me at ease. They're so beautiful and serene. Perfect destination to quiet the unruly ruckus in my head. Destress. Just, be me and be at peace. Strolled through the paths, sat by the water. Grabbed a late lunch at Hamburger Mary's. Toured the streets of Andersonville. Returned home for more caffeine and to complete my assignment on my porch, enjoy the sunshine and unseasonal warmth.
Finished my assignment, I think. I need someone with some sort of journalistic or english background to review and give me an A-OK before I feel comfortable submitting to my editor. First magazine piece, kind of sorta very for realzies intimidating. Got a text from a friend's ex-boyfriend earlier, "dude i read some of your shit on hype machine today, good job!" Then got a friend request on both twitter and facebook from the singer of a band i previewed for chicago innerview. Small shit, but damn. Didn't even know people read my ramblings. So it's kinda sorta awesome and flattering that people dig it. Makes me feel like not a complete loser, anyway.
Now I'm just relaxing, well, sort of. I've got 2.5 hours til it's time to head to Metro to check what I hope to be my show of the year. Beach House will be pretty incredible, me hopes. Then off for some brews potentially. See the fam tomorrow. Write my review. Friend from college will be in town tomorrow eve. Possibly check another show. Write. Write. Write. Sunday work on my PWC review. Maybe grab easter brunch with some friends.
Oh, the life of me. Unemployed. Confused. Yet sometimes (and this is only sometimes), content. Today's one of them days.
