I’ve got seven women on My mind, Four that wanna own me, Two that wanna stone me, One says she’s a friend of mine

The Eagles-Take it easy.

Maybe a point to be made there? I think so.

Okay, so to clear the elephant from the room, No, I didn't make any posts while in Denver. I was too drunk. Deal with it. No, I didn't make a post yesterday, despite not being in Denver, I worked til midnight, get off me.

Now, back to the point to be made:

Take it easy.
I wasn't sure what I was going to write about on my first day back, wasn't sure I could find an overarching theme to my last week. I was pondering this on my way home when the aforementioned song came on and then it hit me: Take it easy.

Backstory: I arrived in CO without much of a plan of what to try and do/see/drink. Luckily, my wonderful cousin and fantastic friend were great guides. I saw the US Mint, Federal Buildings, Hobos in downtown Denver (There are ALOT of them), a gang of 16 year old runaways that hassle tourists at the downtown mall, went to a good will, saw some awesome art at the art museum, annoyed a lesbian waitress in Boulder, got REALLY drunk, almost saw my cousin beat a professional pool player in a pool hall, saw an awesome Zepplin Cover band FROM Chicago, saw some awesome stuff written on men's room walls, tried to kill myself skiing, and talked my way into getting drunk without even spending a dime at a ski resort without my ID (People love to buy people from Chicago alcohol).

Forestory: Guess what I got photos of? Go ahead, guess. I'll give you a minute..............................................................................................................................................

Okay, I took the same amount of pictures of urinal art as I did the beautiful landscape of Colorado. Suprised? If you know me, probably not. I am a horrible photographer and most of the pictures I took were with my phone. So I will post them below and comment on each one.

IDEA: Make a book of artwork, quotes, and sexual propositions found in bathrooms throughout America. I think it would sell given all the other bullshit that's out there......



Now to the artwork:

 T Rex written on the bathroom wall at the Zepplin cover band show. Awesome drawing.

 Horizon Going into Boulder, CO. Very Chill. Notice the clouds. Most of the clouds looked as though they had been painted on.

 Horizon going to ?????, CO. Also very cool.

 This is from a poster I saw. Notice the Dr's name. HA! Must have been hell growing up being her.....

 Just an awesome Irish saying from some random bar in Boulder, CO. Makes a true statement as well.

 My personal favorite on another random bathroom wall in Denver. This person was either very wise or very drunk....or both?

Those are all the pictures I took people. I was too busy living in the moment to do much photographing. OHHHHHHHHH! Can you tie the Eagles song into this yet? Go ahead and look up the lyrics. Try and find what part ties into my point (I'll wait since I don't post up entire songs in blogs like SOME people).....................................................................................................................................

Well, I'm a standing on a corner
in Winslow Arizona
It's such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
we will never be here again
so open up, I'm climbin' in.....

Do we see the point yet? Live in the moment people!

LIVE. IN. THE. MOMENT.

If there's one thing that I have (sort of) always been able to do it is this. Now, granted, I do worry about things ten steps down the road. But I also have the ability to enjoy what I am doing that very second. Looking at a cloud, silence in a car, eye contact with someone special, whatever.

Get lost in every second that you get that WOW feeling because you may never get it again. Take my ski adventure as an example. I was HORRIBLE. BUT....each time I went down the hill (mostly yelling "FUCK, FUCK, FUCK! (This is mostly what you yell when you have no real concept on how to turn, stop, or anything remotely outside of generally falling down)) I was in the moment. I was enjoying the thrill that was the moment.

So that being said, I'm not sure I have a question for you, mainly more of a request. Everytime a situation presents itself to you, live in the moment. Remember it for what its worth: A thrill, voicing your opinion, the feeling of love, peace, anger, hornyness (don't live too much in this moment or you'll get a souviner you can't throw away...), whatever it is, just take it easy and if the situation calls for it, take a chance. It might work out or you might fall flat on your face.

Either way:
"It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all."
