Rocket
(a part of my therapy)
But the cherry on my spoon (my try on a clever Mpls reference), was that I finally got to see my very first Umphrey's McGee show. And it was held at First Ave. which has so much history musically, it is ridiculous.
Back to Umphrey's McGee, it was amazing. They are so ridiculously talented and are mind-blowing to watch/listen to. I will definitely go to another show any chance I get. I love music and this is one love that never disappoints me. It is refreshing to have a constant of some sort in my life. I could not imagine life without music and as a record store in Boulder, CO, put it "life without music would be a mistake". I couldn't agree more.
Gotta love it.*

My love for music and traveling can sometimes take over most of my conscious thoughts (and unconscious thoughts) and this is evident in various things. For example, I really need an internship this summer, but instead of really focusing on finding the perfect one, I am more invested in music festivals that I want to attend and line-ups and trips that I want to take. I know what I need to get done, I just wish I felt more dedicated to my future career. I guess it just seems so far away, even though it isn't, and I get caught up in the immediate. Maybe that is not such a bad thing though...we are always told that we should live more in the moment and such.
I will wrap this up by saying I needed this weekend away so bad. I feel like I have been dealing with so many things lately and have been getting overwhelmed and stressed. I can feel it in my jaw. So I needed this escape from my normal reality and look forward to the next one.
