Thriller

The other day I was driving with my window down and suddenly heard a car pull up next to me, blasting MJ. Without even looking over, I half rolled my eyes, thinking, "It's been weeks since the funeral, people are still trying to make a statement by blasting it out of their cars?"

So I keep driving, and slowing down at the next stoplight, I heard the music faintly again...but this time I notice that the car next to me is...a ja-goo-ar. A jag, really? So i pull up some more to try and catch a glimpse of the punk behind the wheel, blasting that loud "Thriller" through open widows and was surprised to find...an old man. Like...OLD. LIke balding 80 year old-ish man.

Somehow that made me smile, and I gave him a mental a-ok for blasting music out of his car.

The beginnings of my 28th year has been an interesting one so far. Well, no exciting incidents, more like "mentally interesting." I don't know if it's my surroundings, the direction of my career, the people i'm with, or just......just....dare i say it? Has the countdown began?

Oh dear, I've said it.

This is what they say happens, the switch goes off, and...I think it's happening? Is my switch going off?

Lately I've just been wondering what it's all for. You work so hard and get so far and...for what? Money to buy yourself a lovely aqua dress with buttons and pockets? Yes, that's very nice. But then what?

Perhaps I'm just bored at work, bored with life, so I think about these things. I don't know that having a husband and kids would make me less bored. (probably more stressed than i want to be!)

I just want to be used to my full potential and I guess I don't know what that is. I feel the need to make and create and be really good at something.

I'll let you know when I figure it out. In the meantime, I'll continue to shuffle in diagonal I guess.

PS- HA! I just heard a car blasting MJ out my window. Maybe the old man heard me and decided to drive by my apartment!

Gee...

Hi there,
It's been a while. Lots has happened, the biggest one being MJ's death I suppose. I know it's all over the news now but still, after almost a week it's still so surreal. You can't drive anywhere without passing by a car blasting MJ hits with the windows down. Parties and concerts all pay some sort of tribute to him. I don't think I can say what I want to say without repeating what everyone else has said already. Perhaps I'll expand on my thoughts about MJ in a later post.

Too tired now. Will expand on thoughts at a later time. Just wanted to let you know I'm still around and still haven't forgotten about you. And no my thoughts haven't been elsewhere like Twitter or anything. Just been preoccupied with life. Say, don't we have an epic anniversary coming up? I'll treat you to something nice.
