"Maybe" is a thin reed to hang your life on but it's all we've got. -- Woody Allen

Rumors of the blog's demise are far from true. However writing has been difficult as of late. I think there are a few reasons. These days my mind is occupied by personal matters: Career, family, relationship, money, living scenarios, and so on. These may make good blog fodder, but I have trouble writing about them. I prefer to write about things that I have at least some modicum of insight into, as opposed to the complete confusion that generally pervades the morass that is introspection. Plus I don't want to have some amorphous blob of a blog that yappers on with a lack of direction about things like my lack of direction. Actually, my problem is not a lack of direction as much as an abivalence in direction... or really a multivalence. There are tons of things I want to do very scencerly. but when I think about my age I am reminded that I really cannot do everything... and the decisions I make now will likely chart the course of this ever-accelerating, ever-shortening life. What's the saying? "It is not where you dig your well, but how deep you dig it." But also I'm just too busy living and working these days. I had an excellent weekend. Friday we had a terrible band practice. Saturday I played games, went on a hike in malibu where I soaked up some beauty. Later that night Chris and I went to Sasha birthday party which was amazing. Chris got ripped and fell on the record player. Sasha and his 'mates played honkey tonk blues. Sunday I saw my grandmother and did some errands. Well it might not sound busy but after a 55 hour work week I like to do as little as possible. Going to the bathroom can feel like a chore. Yeah the Dean got whooped. That's ok with me, I enjoyed Kerry's speech last night, even if his special interest rhetoric has a broken record feel to me. I like Clark too. I'm not too sure about John Edwards... what are your thoughts? My real concern is that WHOEVER is frontrunning will get beaten down by the media like Dean did, like gore did, while Bush gets off relatively scott-free.
