SIGH

<-- Unhappy face. That was for the Seahawks, but applies much more to me now.

Last night was prolly one of the most stress filled days of mylife. EVER.

Why? Well, it's because I'M the BIGGEST RETARD in the ENTIRE WORLD.

Let's just say that I'm supposed to be in JUTICALPA, HONDURAS right now.

So last night I went out with some friends to Jillian's, thinking my flight was TONIGHT. Hanging out, having a good time, and then justwhen we get our pool table, I get a call from my aunt at 11:45pm.

"Where are you?"

"At Jillian's, hanging out with my friends, where are you?"

"................I'm at the airport."

"Wait, our flight's TONIGHT?!"

"Yeah."

"I'm going home right now and I'm going to try to be there."

"I hope you can make it."

Cut to me racing over to the pool table and frantically saying:

"I HAVE TO GO. I HAVE TO GO. I HAVE TO GO."

"What? Why? What's going on?!"

"My flight is TONIGHT."

"OH MY GOD!!!"

Running around like chickens with our heads cut off.

I race home, driving like a speed demon, run into the house to try and pack and realize...it's too late. My flight's at 12:30am andit's already 12am. It's not gonna happen.

So...I'm feeling like the dumbest person in the ENTIRE world.

I'm flying out tonight (like I had originally thought) at the sametime, same airline.

I get picked up from the airport by Karmen who'll take me in a taxi to the bus station, get me on a bus to Juticalpa from Tegucigalpa, and 3 - 3 1/2 hours later I should be in Juticalpa still feeling like the biggest dumbass ever.

And that's about it for now.

Your dumb friend,
Jess

John: How do you feel?
Charlie: I'm fine.
John: Fine? You know what "fine" stands for, don't you?
Charlie: Yeah, unfortunately.
John: "Freaked-out," "Insecure," "Neurotic" —
Charlie: And "Emotional".
John: See those columnns behind you?
Charlie: What about 'em?
John: That's where they used to string up thieves who felt "fine."

I need to start packing for Honduras.

I feel like I should be more excited about the trip, but I think I'm in an emotional rut, making it a tad bit difficult to do so.

Hopefully I'm getting out of it. It's prolly just one of those times...and I've been taking my live oral tyhpoid vaccine (good for 5 years), which is making me feel gross, so that doesn't help matters any.

I'm sure that once I get down there my emotional state will change for the better. At least, that's what I'm telling myself. =P

I've fallen in love all over again...

...with Nat King Cole.

I picked up The World of Nat King Cole awhile back and just started listening to it again. I'm a huge fan of pop standards, and well, he had an amazing voice. Listening to the smooth rich timber of his voice just makes me happy. Makes me smile. I can just see him smiling and laughing as he's singing, and that makes me smile in return. And that's something I've been needing.

My travels begin this Sunday.

So if you would like to see me in the month of March, your best bet is to be at Jillian's at 10pm on Saturday. Be there or be square...
