That time I met Neon Indian.. ugh.

Last night I was sitting downstairs at the Turf Club waiting to see Neon Indian.
Ordered some MN classics (corn dog and cheese turds).
later some dude comes walking out of the back room carrying a plastic basket with what appeared to be a corn dog and some things resembling the aforementioned turds
so - I say to him - "that might be mine" (as though he is delivering food to a table)
he looks at me kind of funny and sits down at the table next to me
another dude stops at his table and sits down
and they are chatting and I hear my "server" say something like "ya.. being on the road can be rough at times.... some times Alan sleeps in the back" (Alan happens to be the lead in Neon Indian)
so.. I ask him:  are you with Neon Indian?
A:  ya.. I am on the keyboards he's Max and plays guitar
doh

So... you should be asking yourself, what in the hell are you talking about? Thanks for asking. I've not known MJ very long - like 3 weeks at this point.  I first found amusement in that she and I have some quirky things in common.  For example, neither of us will simply discard our chewing gum.  Because we both thinks it is shitty to do and worry about the impact to wildlife (among other things). Today she kept me grounded and gave me comfort as I dealt with getting my Mom settled in her new apartment.  I ...

Solitude is dangerous.

 " Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive. It becomes a habit after you realize how calm and peaceful it is. It’s like you don’t want to deal with people anymore because they drain your energy.” As an introvert, how do you feel about this quote? " -- Jim Carrey, apparently. I need to follow up on this one.

Braver to be yourself..

 I don't have time to reflect on this right now, but want to put a bookmark for later. (in Steamboat Springs, CO - 2021-06-03) Why does it feel as though it was a challenge, in so many ways, to pursue a life where I am "just being myself"? And how did the idea of "being myself" become the secondary goal over the past 20 years?  (and, what was the primary goal then? this should be a fun one to unpack ;-)
