"memory takes a lot of poetic license. it omits some details; others are exaggerated, according to the emotional value of the articles it touches, for memory is seated predominantly in the heart." :tennessee williams, "the glass menagerie"

I tried to listen to David Bazan’s album “Curse Your Branches” this morning but I couldn’t get through it. It doesn’t make me angsty, or interested, or angry. It just makes me bored, and a little sad. Most of it is just meaningless words. "There's really nothing there at all." Such snappy tunes though.

So I put on some new songs by the Clientele instead, and they worked just fine.

Pretty unremarkable the days are being. Trying to bear up and carry well my little load. I am constantly prey to petty fears and insecurities. I need courage. A lot of mornings I can barely move my limbs or shake myself out of the fog.

We’re expecting our third child in June. I still haven’t gotten my head around that. I don’t think of myself as a father of three children. Or as a thirty-year-old. But there it is.
