Somewhere over the rainbow.

I just heard a song that brought back memories of days long gone. Before 9/11, before I actually gave a shit about anything, back when I was young(er) and pretty damned handsome If I don't mind saying. I was flooded with thoughts of dropping acid and cruising in my ex-girlfriend's car down to Galveston Island to watch the clouds and stars turn into angels and comets, of being able to laugh at just about anything because I was 22 didn't give a shit because I was 22 and I was pretty sure I was going to live forever, Damn, aging sucks ass. I look back on those days fondly but I don't wish to go back. It really is true that youth is wasted on the young.
I nearly broke down in tears but I managed to keep it together. Luckily, I'm in a public place right now and I would hate to have people think I am some sort of nut job. If this reads like I am rambling it's because I have had too much coffee and about 30 minutes of sleep in the past 24 hours, occupational hazard I guess.

My job is treating me well and I really like all of the people I work with, they have all been very welcoming to me. My only complaint is that I don't work enough.

I'm done rambling for now...I could really use a nap
