Day 1.

Listen:

Woke up at 11:46 am.

For some reason absolutely HAD to listen to the song “what Sarah said” by Death Cab for Cutie.  You should go download that song if you don’t already own it. 

Listened to it five or six times on repeat while picking up empty cans of Guinness.  

Spoke to a friend who just lost his unborn baby. Said many prayers. 

Spoke to a friend who just found out his wife was pregnant. Interesting. 

Went to brunch at Corner Cafe’ (which is the second best place to eat breakfast or brunch in KC). Was baffled that you can still smoke in Riverside, MO. 

Came home and finished a song about hope, thinking of my friends. 

Let my neighbor borrow a 1/2 cup of sugar. (because i’m friendly.)

Talked to my dad about why the Chief’s need to fire Herm Edwards, post-haste. 

Wrote a song about failing and the need to be recovered.

Listened to “what Sarah said” a few more times. 

Went to the store with Amanda and bought a severe amount of groceries forgetting that we are leaving town for vacation in a week, and i will go from vacation to play a few shows, putting me out of town for about 12 days.  Basically i have to eat a lot of food between now and next friday so it doesn’t go bad. 

While at the store, ran into my mom and some old friends.  I’ve found that i really have nothing to say to anyone these days.  (mom excluded)

Came home and made small talk with previously mentioned neighbor. I’m still friendly. 

Made homemade spinach artichoke dip and three bean enchiladas.  Yum. (i may post that recipe soon, i dont think i’ve done a recipe since the Black Bean Burgers of 08! 

Watched Wayne’s World.  <—– alliteration.

Black Bean Burgers . <——–alliteration.

Wife is asleep. Cat is asleep. Not sure what the baby’s doin, but i would imagine either sleeping or flailing his extremities wildly.  Seems to be his two speeds as of late. 

Gonna read some Proverbs, probably take a glance at the book that came with the “How to dismantle an atomic bomb” CD. and go to sleep myself.

Not a bad Day One of 2009.  I might be able to fend of the impending ulcer after all. 

Cheers!
