Went to dinner with Ducky who is down to hang with her parents for a few days. Caught up. talked all about all of our old friends from high school and what everyone is doing now. everyone is married with children now. hearing about all these people that you went to high school with and their marriages and children and divorces really made me appreciate how lucky I am that I hadn’t got married yet. I know I wasn’t supposed to feel that way. looking at all these pictures of people with their kids, on the boat or at Disney world or whatever. I think your supposed to feel really happy for them and like want that for your own life. but for me it just made me so happy that I’ve been able to live the crazy nomadic lifestyle I have over the years and very relieved that I don’t have all that yet.

Hadn’t seen her parents in like twenty years. Her mom is telling me I’ll never get married. Your just the perennial bachelor. You’ll be sixty and still think you’re in college. I plead with her no Mrs. Ducky its absolutely not true. I would love to get married. Maybe…. Hehe. I just haven’t met my wife yet… but if you see her, will you please let her know I’m looking for her and tell her to call me on my cell phone….’ she didn’t know if I was kidding or what. Just looked at me like oh my God this kid is still totally insane…

The older you get the more you really start to appreciate the friends you have. the really old long standing been there forever kind of brothers and sisters we collect through the years. its such a nice feeling. Hadn’t seen each other in years and there we were drinking and eating and joking; commented that we felt as if we had not spent any time a part at all. that’s what old friends feel like.

The whole time warp thing is still happening. I pull over on the side of the road all the time now to write on my laptop; I’m doing this thing where ever I am I just pull out my laptop or a pad or my guitar and I just start working. Take notes or work on a song. I’m on this date the other night and we’re at this gas station and I’m pumping gas but then I whipped out this pad and started taking notes and I forget that I’m pumping gas and there’s this girl in the passenger’s seat waiting for me. She gets out and says what the hell is happening? What are you doing? Oh you know just taking some notes here on the trunk. Sorry. It’s like a time warp.
