this is it...

the first day of the rest of my...week. and i can only hope it gets better from here.

in fact, i'm surprisingly optimistic considering my present circumstances, some of which some of you are aware, and some not; but in any case i feel good. i've reconnected with an old friend, something that's been long over due, and rekindled with unflagging speed a flame that never really went out. it's strange to think that the "full circle theory," which has recently been used to explain our "eternal universe," might very well apply to our daily lives and relationships. which isn't to say it's repetitive, but that it gives opportunity to reunite, resume, and rewrite an otherwise sloppy ending.

so i have 577.6mb left on my iPod and am pretty happy with my collection, however far from satisfied. with the latest additions being ravel plays ravel, ravel: complete works for solo piano, shostakovich - the jazz album (thanks drew), and goodie mob's complete discography, i now ask myself the question: why don't i ever have anything to listen to? i mean, once i get frustrated enough to put all 4433 songs on shuffle i like everything that ques, but damned if i can't rely on my own judgement to enjoy my music.

dammit.
