My sister skipped Mothers' Day with her boys to come help me out in Colorado. It was an awesome time; really great to reconnect. She shared a Jamie Cullum song with me, and now I'd like to dedicate it to T-Rex in Wonju...
"Twentysomething"
After years of expensive education
A car full of books and anticipation
I'm an expert on Shakespeare and that's a hell of a lot
But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought
Maybe I'll go travelling for a year
Finding myself, or start a career
Could work the poor, though I'm hungry for fame
We all seem so different but we're just the same
Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat
Aren't things more easy, with a tight six pack
Who knows the answers, who do you trust
I can't even seperate love from lust
Maybe I'll move back home and pay off my loans
Working nine to five, answering phones
But don't make me live for Friday nights
Drinking eight pints and getting in fights
Maybe I'll just fall in love
That could solve it all
Philosophers say that that's enough
There surely must be more
Love ain't the answer, nor is work
The truth elludes me so much it hurts
But I'm still having fun and I guess that's the key
I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me...

Thanks Jeff. I downloaded the song. It was nothing like I expected (in a good way). I think I might buy a couple of his albums, I dig jazz. But my favorite line is:
"Maybe I'll go travelling for a year
Finding myself" I guess that's where I'm at. I think that it is interesting that sometimes being yourself is the hardest thing to do. I think that it is because it takes a certain amount of bravery and honesty. I'm slowly learning to be happy where ever I'm at. Thanks for the thoughts. Enjoy every bit of CO while you can. I'd be on the trails ripping it up if I was there, but I'm not. But I'm hoping that Wonju has some killer trails.Thanks again. --Peace out--
