On a bus from the future

Hello blog.

One can find the author riding a Megabus from New York City to Boston. This is clearly a bus from the future, as there are comfy reclining seats, a clean bathroom, and internet access. Eat your heart out Obama, this is change I can believe in. I just spent a hectic day and a half in this insane city, rehearsing with The Wailing Wall and doing a radio show on WNYC, the big public radio station in New York. Here is a link directly to the show archive if you are interested in listening. Silly interview sandwiched between two live songs with a slammin' 6-piece band. Fun.

My life sometimes feels like a level in Sonic the Hedgehog. A whirlwind of activity that moves at a truly jarring pace. How unsettling, thinking about what was happening in my life just one short year ago, how different things are right now. My skills at letting go and moving on can't always keep pace with my confusing and tired blur of a life. Shit bothers me and bothers me and although I should just forget it and move on, I get a block. Connecting with people is becoming problematic. Things getting "too far" is something I'm increasingly weary of and nervous about. It causes me to go down a path, balk, and the fight-or-flight response kicks in and it must be confusing and very uncool for other parties involved. I need to work on how to make it all make more sense for everyone. Especially for myself, right?

I haven't blogged in over a month so one would expect I would have more to say. Foghorn.
