| StorytimesIt's interesting to look at yourself through someone else's eyes. Getting to know someone means putting into words things you haven't thought about in years - explaining emotions of long drawn out stories that don't take as long to explain as the importance you felt they had on your life. At least it's nice when he tells you you're interesting, and seems to be genuinely impressed with how you've handled those trying moments. And the more you tell your story, the more of those harsh realities seem to come up than you realized you had dealt with.
It's enough to make a person feel strong, bold even.
Maybe even independent. Some day.

| Life GoalsQuick recap of my life goals:
- See the Rolling Stones live
- See Billy Joel live
- Drink beer at noon on Tuesday in a bar that faces a giant car wash
- Listen to "Vienna" by Billy Joel while walking through the streets of Vienna
- Find out where my people are from in the Czech Republic and go there with my dad
- Run through the arches in Salzburg like in the Sound of Music
It seems that life goal #2 will be achieved this very December. Tuesday, December 4, my life goal list will fit on the fingers of one hand.
And if you happen to ever see a bar that faces a giant car wash, please notify me immediately.

In case you haven't experienced the joy that is Paolo Nutini live in concert lately, here's a taste:

(That's right, from the Jungle Book)

Paolo covering "Crazy"

Paolo's single "New Shoes"

Note the beautiful hunched over Scottish man whose accent is so thick you can't understand a word.
The best part? I can walk there from work.

| Life lessons, and next time I'll just hit the raccoons.If I have learned anything coming out of this crazy whirlwind of a summer, it is that life is not simple.
Things are not easy. Everyone has their fair share of life disruption. Plans change.
Emotion. Shock. Drama. Heartbreak. Change. It's happening all around us.
This is the point at which priorities become clear. Emotions become unchecked. Friends become sacred.
Last night as my car spun out across Highway 6, I spoke outloud to
myself "I'm going to die. I'm going to die." I don't think I ever
really believed it, but in my mind I did see an image of myself
suspended in my car, lying on its side in a ditch. I imagined who I
would call and what I would say. How I wouldn't make it to work the
next day and how though I would be shaken by how close I came to the
unthinkable, I would be glad that I had absolutely no regrets.
After spinning through dust for what seemed like a minute (but I'm sure
was only a few seconds), I found myself backed up on the opposite
side of the highway. I turned the car off and took a heavy breath of
burnt rubber and exhaust. A few seconds later I was on my way as if
nothing had happened.
I don't quite know where I'm going with this.
All I can say is that things rarely turn out how you wish them to, and
sometimes it's simply regaining control when you're spinning that seems
the biggest battle.
