Just a spoonful of nostalgia helps the medicine go down..........

I just finished reading my entire old xanga and a lot of old e-mails from various friends and family.
It's so weird how one paragraph of text can take you back to a certain time, to a certain place, to a familiar smell and a familiar warmth and safety.
It's also weird reading letters i wrote years ago, I'm a completely different person now to what I was then. This is the nature of life. Change is inevitable.
I get depressed a lot these days, it seems to be getting worse. I can't sleep a lot of times. In fact I can never sleep naturally. I miss natural sleep.
I don't think I've slept really good since college days.

I'm listening to the old Unwed Sailor - Firecracker Ep. Really makes me think of sitting in my college dorm room by myself with my headphones on. Good old Conger Hall. For some reason everytime I listened to this album I would think about Heaven a lot.
Maybe because I know that heaven will have a sound like no other.

Well I was thinking today about how i used to blog all the time about anything and everything. I really kind of miss it. It is good to get stuff out of my head sometimes. Even if its just silly trivial stuff like "man that new M83 album is one of the best i have heard in forever"
So i'm gonna attempt at blogging again on a regular basis even if it just may be a recap of the days events. I love being able to go back and read about what I did 6 years ago on some random afternoon in college.

Our memories make us who we are.

Leah and I took Milo (our chocolate lab) this evening to the Greenbelt (a huge park of various trails and creekbeds through an 8 mile hilly stretch of Austin) It was fun to walk through all the trails, its really beautiful and it's quite shocking how it is literally just around the corner from where we live. I'm gonna have to start going and exploring all the trails, there are even small waterfalls.
Afterwards we went to eat at the Italian Bistro Cipollina where Jonny the Humble is a manager.
We each had a greek salad and split an arugala, bacon, gorgonzola and red onion pizza.
Pretty good crust. I like the place cause its small and it has huge mirrors around the entire space. Really simple which is pretty much the direction I'm headed in.

We then walked down to Cafe Medici and got some hot chocolate. Pretty delicious in fact.

We got home and I've never seen Milo so exhausted, he even threw up. Poor guy must have gotten dehydrated from all that walking and attempts at attacking the tiny little blind dog on a leash.
