adulthood

now playing: marty higgins, "drivin' her home"


so i guess this was the weekend that i became an actual adult.


i'd love to believe that dennis hopper's character in flashback was onto something when he said that he was too old to grow up...

became this:

yes....i have given up the volkswagen van for something that actually starts on a consistent basis. and i don't know which bothers me the most - the stigma attached to the stereotypical minivan driver...or the fact that i'm liking this thing as much as i am.

oh, one more pic - this one from the tin angel gig with nik everett:

i wish i had time to delve into some of what's been going on - at work, musically, and otherwise....but i'm not much less busy thus far this week than i was last week...i'll try to stay awake long enough tonight to sit and jot down a few lines.
