I've been in Nashville for almost a week now. I'm thinking of moving back. I'm not sure for how long, but it might be the best thing for me emotionally right now. It's been a while since I focused on what was best for me. Actually, I can't honestly say that's ever been a worry of my own. Anyway, I spent this past weekend going through all of my personal belongings that were boxed up and shoved in to two storage units. Most of it is being taken care of by some very close friends of the family. Everything else will be sold.

Over the weekend, my only outlet was this really fun thing called karaoke. Some friends of mine and I went out Friday and Saturday night. I did everything other than engage in drugs, alcohol, and/or sex, to take my mind off of all that's been going on. Needless to say, it worked for that moment.

Which, brings me to something else I've learned. There are many things that will satisfy you for a moment, but unless you're internally happy, a temporary pleasure will last for that moment only. Then, you feel worse about the situation. It's kind of like comfort food. The taste is amazing on your lips, but then you want to go run it off, or in my case sleep it off.

The last day of moving furniture, we had just finished up and were on our way to the gas station. I bet you can guess what happened. Yep, we broke down. Two guy friends of mine pushed from the back of the truck, while I attempted to steer without power steering. A man in a wrecker just happened to drive by. Thankfully, we didn't have to call for one, and/or pay for the help. This was Sunday.

Yesterday, after laying a scratch vocal down in the studio, I had to take my computer to the Mac store off I-65. Turns out my problem was caused by the woman in charge of security at the airport that dropped it last Friday at LAX. While waiting for it to be fixed, I had gone to eat at this Mexican restaurant no more than four miles from the store.
