i guess this means that
you and me were meant to be....

this weekend two different 'situations' i had thought were long gone both resurfaced in a matter of six hours.  horrible traffic on the way home gave me a lot of time to revisit these two situations and consider why things ended the way they did.  it occured to me that in everyone's life there are key moments that change everything and the result depends entirely on how you handle it.  typically, there's a high road or a low road, and of course, we all strive to be the bigger person and take the high road.  and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but either way, i realized today that more often that not, in MY life, i ignore both options and go for secret option #3 -- avoidance.     abandonment.    evasion.     desertion .... what have you.  running away and letting the problem (or person)  simply fade away. 
 
anyway, enough of that.  vabeach was a blast, as usual.  i thought about anthony quite a bit, as his drunken antics/boooing my exboyfs at the virginia beach dmb show used to be one of the highlights of my summer.  it wasn't exactly the same without him.   but, i got to meet up with tim for a brief moment before the show, which was cool what with wisconsin on the horizon.
 
the band put on a FANTASTIC show friday night... really really really good.  they closed the night with 'everyday' and, literally, gave boyd the stage to himself for a nice long solo.  very cool.
 
saturday night we went to crocodile rocks for jessica's birthday.  (lots o' military boys... gross....)
 
yusef went to atlanta for madonna and got backstage (again!) i'm soooooo jealous.  he left a bit of "nothing fails" on my voicemail again, (thanks!)  soooo good.  :)
 
when i get married, i'm registering at tower records and ticketmaster.

But you just set it free
Emotions I felt
Held me back from what my life should be..."
