A Particular Ending

Trip countdown: Less than 24 hours.

Yes, that's right. Less than 24 hours and I will be gone. Pretty much 12 hours at this point. I should really be packing, but here I am on the internet instead. But hey, I wanted to go out with one last blog before I hit the road. I'll be updating as frequently as possible with entries from my road journal. All you millions of my readers out there, don't fear an absence of posts.

I can't help but think ahead til after the trip. What then? This occupies my thoughts quite frequently..
and so does she.

trip countdown: two days

Holy crap time flies these days. It seems like with each day of my life that passes, the next one passes faster. I haven't done a thing to prepare for the trip, in the way of packing, or rounding up materials. But I'm cool with that..I've always been a bit of a procrastinator. It's not that I dont accomplish things..I just wait til the last minute to accomplish them. For example Aaron and I have waited until today to have a really good driving session..because he isn't exactly the greatest at stick yet (my car is a standard). At least he sorta knows what he's doing, just needs to even out his rough edges.

So hopefully I can get a few things accomplished today before work. Didn't get a thing accomplished yesterday other than compare music with Aaron to make sure we weren't bringing the same albums. Can u blame me though? I essentially worked from 1030 in the morning until 10 at night. I'm so obsessed with music though..I have actually put a lot of thought into what albums to bring, imagining hearing them in particular places and environments..I think I've selected a good line-up.

the new week

Trip countdown: approximately four days.

Last night I had my last practise for awhile with my one project; Killdeers. Tonight my other band practises(hopefully) for the last time for awhile. We really need to come up with a name..of course the name isn't as important now as coming up with songs..

I feel as though everything is coming to head this week. My life for the past couple months has consisted of nothing but work and i feel worn down yet somehow liberated..despite that i haven't left yet. I think I need to do away with seven-day workweeks. I think I need to try and live like a normal human being again. I just don't know what I would do with myself if I didn't work. That's pretty sad.

ugh

The Out Circuit

hmm.

Well today is one of those rare days where i inexplicably feel motivated and do stuff. I've achieved such admirable feats as: eating breakfast, mowing the lawn and shaving. Yes I know, I should be getting awards, or at least an honorable mention from some sort of special committee.

Anyways, seeing as I'm feeling motivated and all, I thought i would type up this here blog. Only number 2 so far. The countdown to my trip is speedily moving through the final week. To those who don't know, I'm leaving on Friday July 11 to go on a road trip of epic proportions. First night, Ottawa. Then Quebec. Then New Brunswick..etc etc etc. In fact, part of the reason I started this blog in the first place was because I'll be keeping a journal of events, and I wanted somewhere to post it. I considered using myspace..but imagined a massive list of entries..and quickly discarded that idea.

In other news, my band jammed last night and it went fairly well..unlike the practise before that where we sucked a lot for some reason. Tomorrow my other band practises. It's good to be busy..and keep my mind occupied.

Hello, I'm Phil. I am a dude.
I started this blog for reasons that I'm not entirely sure of. Maybe i was just bored. Maybe i was lonely and this is me trying to reach out and touch someone, with some quiet blog in some dim corner of the internet..yea i know not the best way to reach someone.
that couldn't have been it..
Well who knows, but since i started this i might as well continue it.
That's all i have to say for now, but more will surely come.
