wake me up before you leave for the day...

now playing: eugene ruffolo, "beyond love"



today, i have an absolute ton of shit to do at work, but i somehow can't manage the motivation to dig in and get it finished. and even though i can feel the fingers of my workload tightening their grip around my neck, i find myself sitting here staring at an excel spreadsheet and an inventory from from our auditing software...staring, and yet not seeing a thing. my brain is drifting all over the place all morning, into the afternoon now. i'm not sure specifically why - but i can't seem to concentrate on anything at the moment. i know that my total and complete lack of focus will result in my being in this chair over the weekend, but i don't feel bothered by that right now, oddly enough.

this weekend, i have committed to helping dylan get caught up on his homework for his return to school on monday. i have committed to going to macungie tonight to patch a computer for one of my clients. i have committed to allowing jayda's new boyfriend to visit tomorrow afternoon, and to giving him a ride home later.

that leaves sunday, which will probably find me here.


and oddly, this doesn't bother me.


there are other things i'd rather be doing - there are some bare acoustic tracks that i got from charlie that i did some work on before i moved that i wanted to "tighten up" before he gets here next week. i may or may not finish those up, i don't know.

this particular brand of Lack Of Motivation isn't exactly confined to work, it seems.


i just want to sleep right now. i don't know why, necessarily - there are things on my plate that i genuinely want to do, but i just have zero motivation. hopefully that'll change before the entire weekend is wasted.


even this post had started out as what had the potential to be a long and thoughtful diatribe...but that was at lunchtime. it's now coming up on six o'clock, and i'm not even motivated to try and drive my point home anymore.

i will, however, share this with you:










oh, and here are a couple of shots from the nik everett gig a few weeks ago as well:
