My Take on Relationships

I am beginning to realize that if I wanted more people to read this blog and actually care what I have to say, I am going to have to start rambling about relationships. Dive into my old horror stories, and somtimes even good stories, but we all know the horror stories get the real attention. Of course Im not really going to do this...Im not going to turn my blog into www.wordsbyawordsmith.blogspot.com which was somewhat inspired by www.syracusesingle.blogspot.com. Not that there is anything wrong with that, its just not what my blog is intended for.

The recently popularity in my pal George's blog (words by a wordsmith) have made me start thinking about relationships myself. Not so much my relationships, I mean I suppose I think about those, or atleast deal with them everyday. Not too mention my brother was recently dumped and has confided in me for advice, cause he knows I have a colorful history with women. So its been on my mind...

It just cracks me up the way people love relationships...hearing about them, witnessing them being created and of course destroyed...Just look at the reality show boom, which was somewhat of an industrial revolution of TV drama. All these shows were created with one common theme. People are forced into relating with other people and drama ensues. And its great. And the ones with the most drama get the highest ratings...It boggles my mind that Temptation Island went off the air. That show was hilarious.

I mean even I love this crap. I recently got into the Real World cause I wanted to see Danny get his face busted in on the first episode...And BAM! I was sucked in for good.

Relationships are crazy...and addicting...I suppose they would have to be considering we deal with them everyday in every different way. But we sure do know how to exploit them.

God Bless America...

The Road Ahead

The road trip is lingering over my head and it certainly makes going to work everyday pretty boring and difficult. Sure I don’t actually do anything, but in essence that makes the day go by even longer.

There’s something about a road trip that’s so freeing and so exhilarating. Maybe it’s the cutting all ties and refreshing my life with a month break of doing nothing but driving around hanging out with my best friend Sparky.

Should I be afraid of change? Cause the thing I’m noticing most is the way people have done nothing but say they wish they could do what I was doing, and just pick up and leave. So why don’t they…I guess change is difficult for some people. And I am leaving a lot of comforts and taking a big risk myself, so I guess I can understand why people would be afraid to take a step forward (or backwards) like I am about to do.

I am extremely optimistic about the decision already, even though I am leaving my job (which is pretty high paying), my family, my friends, and my Monday night gig at Manhattans, which has made me feel like a pseudo-local celebrity. I have already become more excited about my guitar playing and my future musical endeavors. I have been playing a lot more, and feel a lot more comfortable just jamming by myself and am beginning to notice how much I have improved in the last year.

So I cannot wait for what another year will bring, especially at the confidence and comfort level I have already reached…
