Ahhh, Spring... it's starting to warm up outside and I'm getting several "itches". The itch to buy a new motorcycle, the itch to be outside, the itch to go to the beach, et cetera. The only problem these days is, all though i still get all the same itches i'm no longer able to scratch them. It's ironic that when you get to a place in life where you have the means/knowledge to do whatever you want, you're usually bound by responsibilities and the inclination to make the "responsible choice" so you do nothing. It's kind of like the metaphor in the great porno for pyros song, "cursed male" ringing true. just replace "old" with "responsible". I spent a lot of time and energy trying to be responsibly irresponsible. I had it down to an art form. You can take that act so far then you have to jump to one side of the fence or the other. My feet are dangling on the responsible side. Ultimately, it's easier. ...and ultimately, i'm into "easy".
So will i buy a ducati this spring, head to the beach to live for the summer, party every night after working a long shift behind the bar, go to some house party, play guitar all night and get hammered? Nope! But i could... Instead, i'll be at my house working in the yard and playing with my family outside as much as possible. Maybe we'll head to the beach and ride bicycles on the boardwalk.
(but i'm still going to play guitar and get hammered @ some point...)

For the love of god, we must be happy. We must be happy or leos will cease to exist. Warm weather and sunshine should do it, along with an old ass friend.
Can't wait to read more...wow- how lucky are we that we welcomed not not ONE, but TWO germans to blogging this week!
That's an AWESOME title of your blog, btw. I couldn't have thought of any other title better than that, for myself.
