inspired by nics grid blog of the 50 best tunes of all time, i have been working on my own version. i am about to give up, convinced that its not really possible to pick just 50 songs. of the 4000 plus songs on my itunes, i was able to pick 21 that would no doubt be on it. the rest could probably be changed daily depending on my mood, or even the weather.

im going to keep working on it. ill let you know if it ever gets finished.

i work 12 hour shifts. i am in the middle of a 4 hour paid lunch break. not bad hey?

i got myself a new phone a couple weeks ago. here is an embarrassing fact that i don’t need to share but will anyway – i probably use it more to text then talk. i used to get annoyed at people who did that. but free texting is cheaper then a long distance plan. so cram it.

im sick of winter. 

i complain that its to cold. but i feel bad letting the truck warm up for half an hour in the morning before i go to work because i also think global warming is an issue. al gore is a real prick.

lost season premier was last week. im already confused.

there was a cool sunrise this morning. if i knew how to get pictures from my phone to my computer, id show you.

im 21 tomorrow.
a year ago today i was in 90 mile beach, and had to catch a overnight bus to melbourne. i also got a serious sliver in my foot walking to the beach, and ate a really good cinnamon bun.
im only celebrating 8 more birthdays after tomorrow. screw turning 30. the thought makes my stomach turn a bit. 

thomas labunga is a dirt bag.
170.000 americans lost their jobs in january. 50,000 today.
that sucks.

gridblog so far has some moneen, jew, anberlin, hopesfall, mis sigs, beloved, hot water music….

what comes to mind when looking back at the last year.

australia
grandma
joel and darla
road trips
friends
family 

my year started in australia. a bit different from where i am now.

my grandma passed away. still doesn’t feel real, trying to swallow the pill.

my brother married darla. a good thing.

driving around bc. sweet times in the rain, and on the ocean. wingin it.

friends. the best part of life.

family. i got a good one.

i cant explain it. exhausting and rejuvenating. a solid beating of the mind and heart. a lot to think about. a lot to reflect on. a lot to smile about. a lot to forget about. a lot to remember. a lot learned. a lot to be learned. eyes opened.

embracing but no abusing today.
remembering but not stuck in yesterday.
ready but not waiting for tomorrow.
