Just before work...

"Such a stellar monument to lonliness" - The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most, Dashboard Confessional

Hey, I gotta go to work in a few minutes so this won't be anywhere near as long (or as pseudo-profound) as yesterdays entry. I'm going to spend five hours serving little old ladies and people desperate for a big lotto scoop so I might as well put my brain on standby right now! Anyway, the thought for the day is what the hell causes us to change? I mean think about it, have I changed since you first met me? Probably. Something causes us to constantly evolve and I'm not sure I'm really able to keep up.

Maybe it's just the way I feel today. Maybe working on an old song with Dave Tobin (forever after to be known here as Dave T) has got me thinking about the past. The song, "Make Up and Make Out" meant a hell of a lot to me when I wrote it over two years ago. And it still does mostly. And the person that I cared about enough to write the song is still somebody I care about. But it's not the same. The Dar of two years ago (who was still mostly Darragh then I suppose) was a very different guy. I figure he'd get on with the present day variant of himself but I don't know how much he'd really like him? Fortunately I like him.

And I like my boss. Even though his phone call earlier asking me to cover for somebody else who was sick means I'm gonna miss tonight's football match. Limerick Vs. Kilkenny City will progress without me. As will the lives of all the people I've touched upon (except for the few who happen to pop into the shop while I'm working tonight right?)

Sometimes I wish I was stupid! :-p T'would be ever so much simpler! Actually I don't...
