What a long weekend. I say that with a sigh, because that familiar depression that creeps in after hosting is setting in. I had a great time with good friends, and only wished it could have been longer and that I could have been in a better frame of mind.
Today I took M. and S. to the airport. One bound for Eugene, Or. and the other to Hilo. That just leaves me and the tribe of animals on the homefront, which is either a welcome quiet or a lonely time, I haven't decided yet. Tonight will be a reclusive one, as Heroes is on, and then the new Sarah Silverman Program.
Sarah Silverman is one of my comedic heroes in and of herself. She says what's on her mind, and her take on how hilarious the most uncomfortable of topics can be. She says the things that cross everyone's mind, and then takes it to the next level - which I can very much appreciate.
Heroes, I like, mostly because I can only keep track of one heavy drama at a time, and this one happens to be it. I like that it doesn't play on the special effects, but more the human side of being a "special person." Everyone out there has had one fantasy or another of being a superhero of sorts, myself included. I don't know exactly what my super power would be, but you can bet that I would be happy to rise to the occassion. Why is it that we have to link some unattainable "super power" to the idea that we could then rise to the occassion? Why aren't we so eager to rise to the occassion otherwise? I have a lot of issues to work out in the coming year, I've decided, and one of those is to learn to live without fear anymore. My biggest fear is poverty, as I've been there and have worked my ass off to get out of it. I remember those long and lonely days when I had nothing to show for a days work, and saw no signs of getting ahead in the world. However, I have to admit, that my dark secret is that sometimes I wonder how much of my youthful spirit and soul I sacrificed to get where I am, and how much will be demanded of me to get where I want to be - whatever that is.
Where do you draw the line in life? No really - where do you draw the line? I'm taking calls on the Hit Line, caller 5, what do you think?
