ramblings

sometimes one has to make a clean break between ones head and ones heart. sometimes a separation of thoughts from feelings is good. sometimes what you know and what you feel are at odds with one another and it seems they may never have harmony. so, one must make a decision... which will they go with? the mind or the heart.

sometimes you get to watch and listen to someone play music and it just makes you happy. i was able to go watch this band tonight that left me smiling. they were enjoying themselves. they were making fun sounds. people were groovin'. it's summer people. it's the time of year when we are outside, sweating like crazy, and loving it. i am thankful for instruments and voices and sound equiptment that make concerts possible. good times. i decided tonight that mason jennings is cool. (i'm quite sure i'm behind the times, but...)

after that i watched and listened to some guys who made me laugh. also a good experience but not quite the same. we heard about 2.5 songs and left to get ice cream, a summer staple, instead. i was wondering what had happened to the spin doctors... and now, after hearing 2.5 songs, i'm not so concerned. that is one new album i know that i won't be purchasing.

do you ever watch something and then decide you should take up the hobby. i watched "save the last dance" again the other night, and thought i should start dancing again. tonight while watching mason jennings i thought, gosh i think i'll go home and practice the guitar. none of these things will probably happen, but the thoughts are nice.
