with so little time to sit and write... but in case you wanted to know, Van's Warped Tour was great... twelve hours of music and sun and wild and happy people and rain and wet and moshing people and some muddy people and some bouncing people and most of all music...
just look up the tour online if you don't know what I mean (not allowing links here is really dumb and so limiting to our sharing, but I'll not grumble about that today... though I'm not happy that my last entry (the 22nd) seems to have been blocked or something as it had no views at all... feels like I wasted my time here, but ok, get back up and shake it off)...
the tour is about new bands, mostly, though Joan Jett and the Blackhearts showed up and she's surely been around a while... voice sounded a bit strained, but she was never one for the musical purists (few rockers are, which is one beautiful thing about rock and roll)... she still looks wonderfully fit though...
discovering bands and artists I never heard before is one of the most fun things I can do in this life and dozens of new-to-me bands were there... I have lots of free CDs to listen to now...
working a 17 hour shift in a psychiatric hospital immediately after the psyche of 12 hours at an outdoor concert was not exactly ideal for the body and yet, I love a good sleep deprivation high and the juxtaposition of events offered some profound incites (now if only I can remember them), so by the time I got home from work after the weekend I was cruising in my own personal blissful oblivion...
including drive time, I sat down for about five hours during the 36 hours of music and work, running on adrenaline and a bit of caffeine and yes, the body is smiling and begging for more exercise and less laziness...
partly by choice (considering my interests, energy, perspective, and line of work are all my choices), I live my life surrounded by dozens of teenagers at home, at concerts, at work...
love the energy, miss a partner who loves that much energy (and wants to share it)...
if you like new sounds in rock music (from alternative to metal to emo to ska to whatever we're calling new music these days) and outdoor concerts, check out the Warped Tour if it passes through your area...
you know how to reach me

life is a beautiful blur
Feeling is mutual, Candoor. But your ability to beautifully express it exceeds mine, for sure. So thanks for putting my vibes into words.
My summer vacation thusfar....ahhhhh....tons of positive energy, insights, playfulness, dreams, and the sheer joy of outdoor music has given me a perpetual smile on my face and in my heart.
love the energy, miss a partner who loves that much energy (and wants to share it)
Yeah, I hear ya....but for me, I don't dwell on it. Revel in the moment and always maintain rays of hope for that special connection.
(apparently you already follow that creed with your happy heart)

I've been volunteering lately for a couple of local causes(citizen ballot regarding major projects in exception to county growth plan, and summer festival for local progressive civic group), on top of job, horse, cat, father with Alzheimers. Did get to go see An Inconvenient Truth, and enjoyed it.

pureheart - thank you for acknowledging a connection... it is good to feel less alone
boundless - I left more on your blog... I haven't seen that film, but watched The Producers and illuminations just tonight and enjoyed the former and loved the latter...
