One down by Ben Folds–absolutely incredible song.
I’m finally allowing myself to feel some excitement about moving. Too many times an out was realized and acted upon only to fall through at the last moment or for me to decide it wasn’t truly in my best interests. Right now it’s just up to logistics. What day to move, which stuff to bring in and what to leave in storage…change of address and blah blah blah.Not to mention the requisite Tying Up of Loose Ends and hoping to entice friends with beer and pizza to help me load up.
I had another patented surprise trip to Murray a few days ago…Mainly because I had to get out of Owensboro and I knew even in the middle of the summer in Dead Town I can find a couple of good friends to hang out with. I was saddened to hear about Evo and the closing of Vitello’s and even more distraught to find out about the Frap House–that was my favorite place in town to grab a cup of coffee! But, thanks to Andy, I was introduced to the lovely Jasmin, an absolutely incredible Thai and Sushi restaurant. It was a refreshing change of taste–I hadn’t had quality Thai food since I lived in Lexington.
Another trip to Murray is scheduled for mid-August, I didn’t get to see all the people I would have liked and I figure making a legitimate plan might help. I still find it strange how much I feel at home in that town…
In another switchup, It’s looking like I’m staying home this weekend instead of going to Cavetronic. No real reason just, meh.
In a news update I’ve been following the confirmation hearings of Judge Sonia Sotomayor on NPR. It’s proceeding about as I envisioned it. Calm, restrained–republican media pundits are accusing her of sidestepping the issues and refusing to directly answer questions but what do you expect? Look back on the last two confirmation hearings and you’ll find she’s following the script perfectly. Republicans can’t critique her rulings which tend to be fairly moderate so this entire time has been spent dissecting every word of her previous speeches. If anything, Republicans and Democrats alike have been using this opportunity to project their platform in preparations for either the next nomination or typical elections down the line.
What I look forward to the most about moving to Bowling Green is the opportunity to meet new people. I hope to surround myself with positive individuals full of intellect, adventure and life. I feel as an individual I have drifted away from my core and hope through my own strength and with like individuals I can go back to that. I hope to surround myself with conversationalists who want to sit around, drink coffee and talk for hours on end and those who feel the call of the unknown and rise to the occasion. This time I will not bite off more than I can chew but rather create goals that I can master–even if it takes a while.
