The 25th Hour

I've never had a blog before. Never really thought about it too much. But today it just feels right, and this entry will hopefully explain why. So here's my first attempt at putting down my thoughts to be worthwhile for others, yet apropos for myself.

I feel like I've been awake for way too long. Daylight savings ended just over 24 hours ago, giving me (and us) an extra hour during this Fall weekend. Strangely, that extra hour seems to have made this day endless. I woke up pretty early. Partially it was due to Sunday football excitement, but a lot due to other reasons.

I did a lot of thinking today. It's November. I think time has gone by way too fast. Or maybe way too slowly. I don't really know. I thought about good times over summer (Ate's wedding, trips north, and of course Europe with some of the best of people). It all seems like so long ago, and yet I can still feel the roller coaster of emotions.

I thought about how fate took me back to the Bay Area, and how now I finally am doing the things I promised I would do. Study and work. Studying has gone well, and the job is really good for what I want to do. Save the lack of health insurance, I couldn't ask for a better opportunity for myself. And yet, I still feel like I should be doing something else. Something more.

When I'm in a pensive mood, music is the best therapist to those thoughts. So I shuffled my iTunes and went to work. A few months ago I collected a lot of music from friends. And one of the first songs that came up was something I hadn't heard yet, from an album that I hadn't listened to all the way through. The Album: Legendary Music Vol. One. The Song: another day. Perfect for the pensive mood. And I can't really explain it, but for some strange reason, from that song, a new blogger was born.
