Random thoughts on a Friday night

I'm sitting on the living room couch, listening to Marley fill the room, the reggae perfectly matching the fried bangus Migs is cooking in the kitchen. It's pouring outside now, and for the first time in a long time I don't curse the weather because the rain gods have blessed me with enough sunny days in the past couple of weeks and made them days that really mattered.

Trips to Bondi. Barbies galore. Camping at The Basin. Good times all around.

I have officially settled in my new place with Pete and Migs. The house has long lost its fresh carpet shampoo scent and has taken on a fragrant mix of food, laundry soap, and sweaty tennis shoes. By no means are we living in a sty, but finally the place looks and feels lived in.

Haven't had much work the past two weeks but it almost feels like it's a sign telling me that it's okay to slow down once in awhile. As a result, stepping back from my corporate job has allowed me to allot more mental energy into my personal stuff, and as a result the proverbial ideas bank has been filling up. I always knew 2008 was going to be good year for me, but I didn't know it was going to be this good.

Bottom line, I am the happiest I've been in a long long time and what's scary is that it just seems like it's going to get better. :)

Yes, that was a smiley face. That's how happy I am goddammit.
