Everywhere at the same time

All the sleep in the world is some kind of joke keeping us busy, reminding us–
We can only do so much before crashing down into some new scene from a dream
From this life we all want but couldn’t handle anyway.

In spare time we’ll take small steps in circles all day and fight over jobs…
Have to learn to be everywhere in the world at the same time and doing fine.

(from Ghosty, Rooms in the Dark)

I’m overwhelmed. Not just busy but a little worried at finishing the tasks at hand. Happy? Perhaps, but I think Ghosty captures it…and goals can be somewhat futile. There always comes a point where you need to pull back a little if you want to be comfortable. Or just keep on pushing.

Well I really shouldn’t be writing, considering the timecrunch, but this is a stage of life that deserves to be captured. A good life for me is just a series of challenges that turn into frustrations that when I’m lucky turn out successfully. We all know what we can take to be comfortable and what is going to really push us. Since my comfort of late has felt somewhat complacent I’m ready for some real hardwork.

This is a lame posting perhaps but maybe it’ll at least turn you onto a band with some fantastic lyrics and unusual musicality. In the mean time, back to the real world.
