i just woke up in a hotel room which has a broken thermostat. i turn the thermostat all the way up to 80 and it has no effect. at this point i have been in this room for around 24 hours, and have made no effort to change rooms. which is supremely strange seeing as i hate being cold more than anything.

it is often with fear and awe that i first face my day. i dont relay this for any reason than to say there is a keen closeness with sleep and fear, with rest and paralyzing inaction.
i have always been aware of this kinship, but always been only subtly curious.

we spent easter sunday in a town in the midwest, everything was closed, nothing happened literally. well, nothing minus getting a character drawn of myself whose results will no doubt be posted soon enough. i ordered a pizza that was mediocre, and barely did anything but exsist in the hotel. i had the television on for noise and the clicking of my numb fingers on the keyboard for comfort.
i am finding myself warmed by the fire of technology more and more often these days.
warmed by it, not enhanced or enamored.

oh but spring time, it always brings with it a breath of fresh air and vigor.
it inspires and rejuvenates....i suppose in this way and many others, that i am no different than a tree.

im not sure where i am going with this, it is probably too early to write a blog.

today the rejects tour resumes and i am excited. this tour is insane and fun and challenging in all sorts of ways.
we are just getting started and i cant wait to see what happens next!

we are in Minneapolis.
i am hungry for breakfast.

and now after writing this i am sufficiently motivated to move to a warmer room.
and a good day awaits me.
