Mood: not sure
Now Playing: Major Tom-David Bowie
Topic: Lift-off
Monday, Monday...can't trust that day. Kids, I am getting further and further from wanting to spend my energy making sure the world gets their lunch in a timely manner. Sit down, wait for your food, enjoy it when it gets there and quit whining because it takes more than your feeble attention span!!! People have forgotten how to just enjoy the moment. I had a woman today who wouldn't get off her cell phone to acknowledge me in any way. I ignored her too. This is not the nature of the business.
This time of year I get a mad case of the "Walkin Blues". I found an outlet for this when I could plan a sweet spring tour (GratefulDead) and rendezvous with my "family" in places like Cleveland and Atlanta (Hotlanta!!!) I am looking forward to Saturday Market to connect with the people who value creativity above all else.
It was about this time in 1992 when I decided to quit a career as a restaurant manager and operate a pottery studio. It was about this time in 1993 when we really took the show on the road. It was about this time in 1994 when I decided it was time to change direction and leave a life that was not respecting me, and that same year when I was introduced to the stuff that dreams are made of.
It was this time of year when I packed up my belongings and headed Northwest of Normal. I was going to leave on St. Patty's Day for luck, but I ended up (due to circumstances beyond my control!) leaving on March 21 (3-21-liftoff!) I still have the shamrock that I bought 2 for 1 the day after the holiday. I left one with my room-mate at the time. I'm not sure what happened to either of them.
