At one time I thought I might have something fun and interesting to say on here. I was wrong.
I mean, I have fun and interesting thoughts... I just don't think they're fun enough nor interesting enough to post on here.
Maybe next time.
Until then...

Waiting for tomorrow...
The last few days, I've been living the life of a bachelor again, as Jess has been in Jackson, MI, visiting our new niece, Sophie. During that time, I've been here in Waco alone, trying to get homework done. I also went to the rodeo on Friday night with the philosophy group. It's been a lonesome time, and not nearly as productive as I had hoped it would be.
I've found that my wife is a great source of sanity for me. With her absence, I find myself stressing out about homework far more. For instance, I have a paper that I've been trying to work on over the last 36 hours. I have one page... barely. There are so many things I want to write about, I can't choose one. I have a feeling if Jess was here, I would just write on one of them and go with it, for there wouldn't be this open-ended amount of time. I would want to spend time with her, so I would just do it. Similarly, I've been going to bed later and sleeping worse, waking up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason, and struggling to fall asleep. I know, it sounds sorta pathetic.
However, tomorrow night, I get to pick her up from the Waco airport! :)
In her absence, I've been listening to the two CDs she got me for my birthday. She got me "The Essential Billy Joel" and "Bat Out of Hell" by Meatloaf. The inspiration for the Billy Joel CD came from her Valentine's Day gift for me. I knew that there were a handful of songs by Queen that I liked, but never was bold enough to branch out and check out a greatest hits CD. Well, I got Queen's greatest hits for V-Day, and found that I loved many more of their songs than I realized. I'd mentioned a few more artists that I liked a handful of songs by, in case she wanted to go that route again. Billy Joel was one of them, and I'm thrilled with his essential hits. I've found that there are many songs of his that I like. I highly recommend it. With Meatloaf, I've always liked the food, so an artist with the name of a food you like can't be bad, right? Actually, I'm a fan of rock opera, and "I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" is one of my favorite rock opera hits of all time. I had mentioned this fact to my wife once, and she surprised me with the first CD of the trilogy, and it's great! It's only 7 songs, but a full 45 minutes of entertainment. If you're a fan of rock opera or even Queen, check out Meatloaf... and the music by the artist of the same name is pretty good too. :)
I'm sure there's other profound things I could say here, but I'm feeling guilty about my paper... so back to work on that. Oh, and my wife comes home tomorrow. :)
