Just as I Left It

The drive was a long one today, but the weather was pleasant atleast for the majority of the journey. Once I hit Ashville the clouds began to pile up and I thought it was going to rain, but instead it started to snow. If you've ever been through the Ashville area, snow isn't exactly considerable as "pretty" driving scenery, but I made it through alive, so that's cool. I got really antsy while I was driving though, which isn't normal for me. Usually driving helps me focus and stay in a calm state of mind, but today it was different. I mean, I am excited to get back and catch up with my friends, but I don't think that has so much to do with it. It could have been all of the state troopers parked all over the road stopping people left and right. I mean I really like that new driver's license I got today, but I didn't really feel like showing it to them... But the drive did cycle me through quite a bit of music, which is always nice. Oh, and speaking of driver's licenses, I did go to the DMV this morning to get an updated one, and they really were jerks to everybody, so from what I can tell, the stereotypes are pretty accurate. I think it would be nice if all of the professions that are filled with stereotypical jerks were put on a list and people would go down that list and do something outstandingly nice for them.

Back to the story though. Another thing I noticed on the drive was my constant identifying of all the birds flying in the air. I saw so many doves and I really just wanted to grab a shotgun and bring a few of them to justice (and by "justice" i mean my dinner plate), but there will be no hunting for me for quite some time.

But I arrived in Nashville, back to all of the lovely traffic and city life, at about 6pm central time. I'm glad to be back and I have a peace about the upcoming semester. But when I got back, all the guys that were here met up and we went out to Sir Pizza. That's where we go pretty much every Sunday. Cubbs, Burly, and Viking were there. It was a somber mood though. Chubbs just found out that he might get layed off because the recording studio just got bought out and the new owners might cut his job to save a few bucks. I don't see how they think one guy can run that entire place, but hopefully some sense come to them because that is Chubbs' dream job. He loves that place and has worked so hard, too hard for them to just up and shaft him like that.

So I guess I'll sleep in tomorrow and when I wake, I'll see what doing there is to be done. The other guys should be getting back in the later afternoon, and we'll all have alot of stories to tell I'm sure. Right now I'm listening to Hem's album Rabbit Songs. It's about as country as I can tolerate, but I love it... Well... it's more like jazzy bluesy country... Her voice is so beautiful.

I'm going to get some sleep. Peace and love.
