2 nights ago my friend and I were just cruising like 40-50 on a highway and a teenage girl took her chances crossing the road. By the time we saw them it was way too late. Big time collision.
So the girl was driving a truck? Or did you hit another truck while avoiding thisgirl crossing the street? I'm lost.
my bad. We were in a truck and hit another truck that a teenage girl was driving. She just blatantly pulled out right in front of us
I was sitting here stuffing my face with chips when a friend called and asked if I had any food.
Damn.
It all worked out in the end, folks. I threw ten boneless, skinless chicken thighs at him and he agreed to cook them and give me half. He is so nice. And ahelluva cook.
I checked in to an extended stay hotel in Jacksonville, NC tonight where I will spend the next 2 months working on a project (with the only break being Bonnaroo). It feels very strange to be alone for all this time.
I drank way too much last night. however, it's hilarious to hear all of the pieces of each persons memories brought together. oh and we had to call my 23 yr old sister to pick up her drunk siblings and their friends. hahahaha. good times.

Don't mind me; if you paid attention to my sh!t, I'm sorry. I wish my incoherent ramblings could have the hope of being more intellectually satisfying.
But, hey: do jumping jacks naked and try not to laugh.

I also got way too drunk last night.... at the pace I'm going my vacation is going to be awesome.
I have been in some kind of funk recently and I don't know how to get out of it. Thank god Roo is so soon. Really it's all that's keeping me going at this point.

Shake things up again. Do a whole buncha stuff that you haven't done before. Talk to random people. Do random shiz. It really puts a smile on your face.
I went and picked berries for a few hours this weekend and it did wonders for my mood.

I feel the exact same way. I moved and started a new job and for some reason the upheaval always makes me feel out of place. Happened last time and I ended up semi-depressed for months. This time is a little better as my situation improved a lot, but I still don't feel like myself. I think it would help to exercise and get out, but I'm too lazy to commit to that. I throw away a lot of money on eating out and drinking to keep my mind occupied, then I come to work and just veg out doing only what I have to. Shitty cycle. I'm hoping Bonnaroo breaks it.
Semi-related: In college, I had a very expensive (do I need to say corn?) habit. Kicked it off and on for the past two years. I'm now 8 months clean, thanks in large part to my getting married, moving and knowing almost no one. I could search it out but I don't trust myself with a steady supply of the stuff because it becomes the only way I can enjoy myself. Still, I think about the craving almost every day. Probably in the same way people that quit cigarettes think about the habit. With summer coming, I know I'll enjoy it moderately at least twice in the next month. I'm just hoping I can be satisfied with those two times and then get back to my regularly scheduled programming.
It's strange how the only person holding me back from doing whatever I want to do is me.

I'm trapped in a cycle right now too.I go to bed every night dreading the next morning. It's not even that my job is shitty, but life is just taxing on me. I can't do this same thing every day bullshit anymore, but it's not like I have a choice. I'm taking two weeks off for Roo and Firefly and I'm really hoping it either pulls me out of it or I die on the way home from firefly.

I can't speak for you, but for me Bonnaroo always feels like a reset button. Every year, even if I've had a bad experience at Bonnaroo, it feels like I'm starting over. In that way, Roo feels a lot more like New Years than January 1. I'll be following a similar path as you though. Bonnaroo and then Forecastle a month later. If our two festivals each can't do it, I don't know what would beyond a drastic day to day change like GL mentioned. But I really believe festivals have a way of wiping the slate clean. If I make it to brunch, we should share some beer.

It's a reset for me too, especially last year. I quit a job right before and started a new one right when I got back, but I'm still working here this time around. We'll see what happens. I've started cycling way more and that's changed things day to day a little. I've been single for two years now and I'm trying to meet people. I know a new relationship will 'shake things up' but it's not an easy thing to do in a small shity town like mine. I hope you make it to brunch!

Me too! I should be able to come for a little bit, but my group wants to wait for Hannibal Buress. I really should swing by though, I've put it off for too many years for no reason.
And trying to find a new person in a town where you know way too many people is freaking tough. But if you keep changing up your experiences, new people will naturally appear. I wish I had something more helpful to say than good luck... But I really do with you the best of it. I think we can figure ourselves out. It just takes patience and effort.
Shit, I almost kept writing about how I had no effort, but I couldn't make myself for fear of sounding totally worthless. I don't FEEL worthless, in the sense that I can make myself work or wait as necessary. But anything beyond what I absolutely have to do is totally a bitch right now.

Festivals in general are definitely a reset button for me too. This has been a rough year for me and to get myself over it out of this weird, transitional, funk I've been in I'm doing 4 festivals (maybe 5 if I can finagle something for Loufest)... Hopefully it helps.
2 nights ago my friend and I were just cruising like 40-50 on a highway and a teenage girl took her chances crossing the road. By the time we saw them it was way too late. Big time collision. We finally came to a stop and it was dark. Some sort of steam was spraying into the truck so I went for his door handle but couldn't fucking find it. I look left to ask him where it was and hes bent over the wheel unconscious kinda flopping like a fish. I guess a seizure or something? So I look back and tried to punch out the window three times. I literally thought to myself, "seriously? in this moment? Wouldn't my adrenaline allow me to do this? God I'm such a pussy." So after three quick punches I turn the light on, got the door handle (why was it so low?), and cracked the door but couldnt push it open because it was bent I think. So I had to kick the quack out of it. Got out probably in one minute after the crash. Ran around and opened his door and he was still shaking and out cold. Called 911, witnesses got to me and luckily he woke up after like 2-3 minutes.
He wasnt wearing his belt so he smacked the wheel or airbag pretty hard. I thankfully was or else I probably would been at least into the windshield if not through. My fucking hip/waist is crazy sore right now though from the belt. Oh and my fist is in pain from my embarrassing attempts of window breaking.
Couple of lucky notes: My seatbelt. The combo of two huge trucks instead of us being in my little car or if we had hit a little car. Also I remember us going straight for their passenger door, but he must have turned right just enough and hit the side of their front. I'm honestly not sure how bad that passenger would have been if we went straight into their door at 40-50 mph in a fucking massive truck.
I just wanted to say that I'm glad you're alive. I've been in a few accidents but defiantly nothing that scary. I can't even imagine.

I'm always amazed by people who can thrive in change. Transitions suck. But then again, so does staying the same. With four festivals coming, you should have an amazing summer to get some relief from normal life!

I always feel bad when myself or someone kills a venomous snake. I understand that if you have kids/pets and it's around your house, it can be a matter of safety for you and your family. I still feel bad about it though.
Anyways, I work in the oilfield as a mud logger. Some rig hands just showed me a massive rattlesnake they killed just a few minutes ago. It's a fairly sizable snake, near 5' long, and FAT.
Pretty majestic and powerful animal, wish it would have slithered off before they got to it.
