Just want to go to my cave

Spent time with the family in Payson. I really just wanted to retreat to my cave.

I had a whole lot of stuff planned to write about last night, but at the Ramada Inn Express, I just fell asleep. I was/am exhausted. I had a bit written, and it’s all gone, which has me a little miffed.

Anyways, the next day, I hung out with Gordon (Hey Gordon, you loser of a second oldest). We went and looked at these slot machines that were being sold at the salt lake city fairgrounds. It was lame, they were japanese slots from the cruise ships. Not impressed at all. I want a one armed bandit. We then went to Seigfreds, a German resturant. That was good.

Afterwards, we headed off to pick up Christi.

That night we goofed off with Gordon, Christi and all the friends. Halfway through the night I started to feel terribly lonesome. How can one individual have this much pull? A few days ago, Tyson said I need to get over it, and I think I have, and then out of nowhere I feel like that. I had more to say, but dang if I forgot it last night. I need to keep notes of what I want to write.

Dang it, I had something that was half-way insightful, and it’s just taunting me.

I’ll remember. When I am in the shower tommarow, or driving.

Anyways, I listened to another good Bowling for Soup track “Self-Centered“. An excerpt:

She took the afternoon train
To find a different plane
But life down the drain
Better than being ignored

[Pre Chorus:]
I think I’m taking a vacation now
I’m on holiday and maybe I won’t rest
Until I’ve thrown it all away
Yeah I’ve got it down

[Chorus:]
I’m gonna feel sorry for myself
I want to blame it on everyone else
I want to be self centered
And make everybody feel sorry for me

But then I had to listen to some Everyone wear Sunscreen

Maybe you?ll marry, maybe you won?t, maybe you?ll have children, maybe you won?t, maybe you?ll divorce at 40, maybe you?ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don?t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else?s. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can. Don?t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it?s the greatest instrument you?ll ever own.

Dance. Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don?t follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they?ll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings; they are your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

And I knew that I had just been rebuked by the MP3 player for making it play so many sappy angst songs.

So, Family and friends, I am counting on you in many years.

Well, I need to go exersize.

Move along.. Nothing to see here.
