i have been a bit off on my blogging for a while, (ok, forever) but i have been struggling with a lot lately, i’ve been really tired, haven’t been feeling good, work, etc etc. no excuses though, because life is too short to make excuses. i’ve picked up some books and i’m seriously looking forward to reading them. fast food nation (i finally found it at the used book store), american gods by neil gaiman (after i read a review on ego ego ego and on the road by jack kerouac – i gave it my two page test when i wasn’t sure – i read the first two pages in the bookstore – then a dozen more before i could stop. that’s a check. i enjoy ginsberg’s poetry and figured that i’d start with the book that supposedly inspired the whole beat culture. i’m going camping tonight, leaving late and driving. the site is somewhere in northern california where 101 and highway 1 meet, near the ocean. i’ve never been, but some of my friends have been making this a yearly trek for 10+ years, so it’s kinda cool. 4 days on the beach, nothing to do but read, talk, play cards, and possibly (possibly) consume some alcohol. anyways, i gotta go get stuff done.
