why don't you realize? . . . vienna waits for youu

just got finished practicing my current favorite song to play on the guitar, Vienna - Billy Joel. I can usually play those chords except my "gel" nails are too long... dammit! what is it with these nail salons, that refuse to cut my nails short? I don't get it.

I play anyway... I can pretend that my nails are not pinging the strings ... its still sounds decent and I repeat the last verse... "why don't you realize?.... vienna waits for you" a few times at the end and have fun with the intensity in the finale. i loooovvvveee playing.

It's a great escape - playing - when life feels a little bit overwhelming. Besides my normal routine there is some event or another almost every weekend for months. I try to gearing up for the additional work I have to do during the week, so I can at least enjoy it and try to find time to go to the beach or something.

so the music centers me. playing particularly.

Working on a Gantt chart. There's something about them - and excel spreadsheets that I love - i can't pin point it, but its the same sort of pleasure I feel when I solve a design problem - or figure out how to play a new song.

Haven't been very "social media" social lately - too busy being social. Which btw brings me to that some guy sent me a "let's get acquainted - wink wink" message on my linked in profile and I thought that was very weird- and funny at the same time. I was like... who does that?! I should post my age! that'll stop 'em - lol!

I'm shopping for a Jeep. I want a shiny black wrangler unlimited 2 door - 2012-2014, black leather interior and a soft top and big wheels with heavy treads. ;)
