Reflection

Two sevens together
Like time, indefinite
Trying to catch the glass
befor it falls
Without a frown
Can you turn up the stereo?
I wanna play you this old song about love
Can I do that?

Did we remember to water the plants today?
I forgot to look up at the moon because
I was too busy
Looking at you babe

Still it's nice to know
That when bodies wear out
We can get another
What does that 1 thing have 2 do with the other 1?
I don't know
I was just thinking about my mother

Turn the stereo back down
Ain't nothing worse than an old worn out love song
Tell me do you like my hair this way
Remember all the way back in the day
When we would compare who's afro was the roundest

Mirrored tiles above the bed
Fishing nets and posters all over the wall
Oh yes, sometimes
Sometimes I just wanna go sit out on the stoop
And uh... play my guitar
Just watch all... all the cars go by...

I was looking through some old old emails that I saved and I thought it was funny how, in an instant, you can be shot back 5 years like a slingshot. All the emotions come welling back up. Roads not taken, choices not made, songs not played. Eh. Ain't nothin worse than an old worn out love song.

Six On Sunday

1. When is the last time you actually filled your car’s car tank completely?
I do it all the time.  If I find a good price, I have to take advantage of it.
2. What’s the most you’ve paid for a gallon of gas so far?
$4.03, but that was in the city in a bad neighborhood, out in the 'burb where I live its cheaper.  I haven't paid over $4 many times.  ATL's under the national average, but not much.
3. Has the high gas prices affected how much you travel at all?
Indirectly, because with rising airline prices I can't afford 3 plane tickets... but via car not really.  It's worth the extra money to get away for a few days, even though I don't do it as much as I should.
4. Take the quiz: What does the road trip of your life say about you?

The Road Trip of Your Life

You see life as precious and special. Heritage and family are very important to you. You live life at a fairly leisurely pace. You take time to enjoy the sweeter parts of life, even when you're busy. You don't like a lot of risk or randomness in your life. You prefer to stick with what's known, even if it's a bit boring. You are able to find a fairly healthy balance between work and play. You work when you need to, but you never let yourself burn out. In another life, you could have been a great artist. You trust your creative instincts enough to let them lead you.

The Road Trip Test

5. Which single statement was the most accurate about you?
All of them, more or less.

6. If your best friend called you up and wanted to take a week-long road trip, would you be able to afford it?
I could make it work.  I may have to rely on bologna sammiches and Ramen n00dles, but I could do it. 
What about you? Hit comments and release your inner Clark Griswald.

Milestones

Abby had her first haircut recently.

She also went to her first Braves game. She obviously had more fun eating ball park food and playing around. Turner Field has so much stuff for kids to do. It was a fun night.

Tina and Abby went out of town this week, so I'm home all alone. So its just me, Prince and Papa John. It's a sausage fest in here... shit, wait... no not that kind dammit!
