Recently, I’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon with how I think about decisions. Basically, if it’s after 10 or 11 P.M. I’m a bit more melancholy about things. I find myself missing people that I care about but haven’t seen in a long time. Normally, I would write this off, but it’s been relatively consistent recently. The result though is that I consider the plans that I have made for the upcoming days, and start to reconsider all of them. I start to feel lonely and wonder if the plans that I have made are just empty emollients.

Here is the thing I can’t figure out: which of my persistent mindsets is more accurate to reality? Is it the sleepy and somewhat contemplative emotional mindset? Or is it the face-to-the-sun headstrong and sanguine mindset? How does one find out?

Hot Dude Party is on a break for the summer, and Chaos is in a serious MCAT study zone and therefore not very much fun to be around because MCAT is all that’s on his mind. But on May 26, we played a show at Herman’s Hideaway and my brother took photos, for example the one above. Meanwhile, in real life, closer and closer to finishing my first paper for submission.

Gabby is out here for two days for a conference, and it’s awesome to see him. He seems to work his ass off, and I really admire him. He’s staying at the St. Julien hotel, and it’s seriously posh inside. I haven’t been in a nicer hotel since staying at 21c in Louisville, KY.

I can’t stop listening to this song: Little Lion Man, by Mumford and Sons. It’s so good. Their whole album is good. A million thanks to Mike Larremore for the recommendation on these guys.
