Well, here I was thinking I was tired and I'd have an early night. I went to Nathan's, hung out until like 6:30 and then went home to get ready fro Barbara's. Brenda decided she was going to join me, so I waited for her and we went over there. There were a decent amount of people at her place, we ended up staying there and not going to the bar. We got to the bar and there were like 20 people in line and our group of 20, we figured it'd take too long to get in.

Renee and Omid showed up after the Bar Mitvah, I talked with them a while and then Brenda and I bounced. We went to temple bar, caught the end of an awesome latin group, los pinguous. We had a few drinks and bounced there a bit before too. We got back to my house, smoked hookah, talked, and didn't even realize it was like 3:30. We had a really interesting conversation about randomness, fate, multiple realities, what life is about. It was just fun to talk about my philosophical beliefs with someone. I ended up not going to bed until like 5AM, what a different night than I imagined having just 12 hours before.

Today has been a glorious lazy day. I didn't wake up quite as late as I'd have liked, but I ended up just being lazy. I cleaned the kitchen and I've been watching movies since then. Karate Kid II and now Top Gun. Top Gun is amazingly great. I forgot how good it was. It is so 80s though. There's a volleyball scene that is supposed to be this super competetive 2 on 2 game. Don't tell me if this movie was made now that it would be volleyball. It'd be a basketball scene. I think we'd see less bomber jackets too. :)

Its funny how sometimes things that seem so far away and removed end up coming back to the forefront. This weekend I've had like 3 or 4 people ask me about things that I'd just not really talked about or dealt with in a few months. It was weird, it is weird, everything coming up like that, especially as I had been thinking more and more about it. Its like this culmination of sorts, I just have no idea what it is culminating towards...maybe I need to figure it out.

I have a lot going on, the next few months. As taylor graduates and moves out, I need to make a lot of decisions re: work, living, and in some sense friends as well. I still feel that wanderlust for moving far away, but I also love my job. But I am getting a bit ancy...

Im just going to finish watching AWESOME movies then im going to the father's office with the boys and then going to see a Mockumentary by Les Claypool of Primus fame in santa Monica...should be good.

You know, I've been having a ton of fun, I've been meeting a ton of people, and things have felt really good...but I worry I am entering the doldrums. I worry I am just using plastic passion to replace real things. I worry that I just don't know what tomorrow holds. Thats not entirely true, tomorrow morning, its rinse and repeat...I wish I felt like i had a handle on where life is going...

Oh, honey, Top Gun is never the answer to anything unless the question is, "what '80's film has the most homoerotic volleyball scene ever, and how gay is Tom Cruise?"


Really, go watch 16 Candles or The Breakfast Club. :D

(and you do know I'm kidding?)

Basketball would set Tom Cruise's (lack of) height in negative relief.
