forced to relax

as i sat in goodyear for the third afternoon in a row, reading the new book that my roommate surprised me with in the mail yesterday, i thought to myself

"it's kind of nice having no other choice but just to sit here for an hour and chill out."

and even though it may be stressful to have to drive back and forth everyday b/c my car is still not fixed (by the way, it's STILL not fixed now), it is not a bad thing to just sit and read.

or talk. that's another thing.

i ran into my good 'ol friend ryan "beautiful hair" jernigan when i came into goodyear today. he toured with a band called last tuesday this semester around the US, so I hadn't seen him since before Christmas last year. so that was really random/awesome too b/c i got to hear what's going on in his life and how he's doing....good stuff. i'm glad to hear about someone else who's really trying to figure out what they want to do with their life. i guess that's comforting to those of us who are doing the same.
