an aside...

something about me that i have found i rather dislike...

if something gets in my head, an idea, a lyric, a melody...it really bothers me until i can get it out...

sometimes it's simple...an unwanted song gets in my head? find another song to replace it.

others...

last night was a good example. the combination of that U2 song, last week's sermon and our discussion created a storm in my head that needed release...or better put, it needed to be expressed, formed.

so the annoying thing for me is that i find it hard to be fully present when this happens. when i was breaking guitar strings last weekend during service, man...when i wasn't playing that's all that filled my head. it sucked. now, i do have the ability to partition this off for a period of time...but it will rear it's bothersome little self until i do something about it...

when i got home last night, i tried to work it on the guitar...no avail...

then i started putting pieces of things from the past week together and just started writing...voila! new blog entry...idea mostly formed and out...sleep ensued...

so there you have it...
