i think i AM manic depressive...or just a maniac and depressed...

right now, i'm a tad happy because i'm going to have mai tais w/ a friend after work @ ron of japan...he's been telling me about these mai tais for weeks now...and really, it's not just the mai tais...it's the fact that someone took to initiative to invite me out...it's the little things in life that always make me shed tears for joy.

and i'll admit i'm just a little excited about the mai tais too...

and here's a little poem i read last night that i just know has some really important life lesson in it... it's actually quite simple, really...

this is simple by pablo neruda

Power is mute (the trees tell me)
and so is profundity (say the roots)
and purity too (says the grain).

No tree ever said:
"I'm the tallest!"

No root ever said:
"I come from deeper down!"

And bread never said:
"What is better than bread!"

i have gotten my laptop to work so i can listen to my jukebox again...so it's been a mellower day musically for me...
