(no subject)

rmNot a lot of entries for general consumption latelyle as I've been in the midst of rather mundane yet completely irritating interpersonal stupidity. And while it seems prudent to make no public notes on the subject at all, I will mention the following:
1. Making long term, albeit casual plans -- very stupid. And I'm as guilty as anyone here, even if I wasn't the instigator of that particular aspect of the situation.
2. Expecting showfolk not to be crazy and/or only be crazy in ways you're comfortable with -- again, very stupid, and I'm probably as guilty as anyone there as well.
3. Assigning preemptive and/or anticipatory value to yourself, others or events -- down that road, lies foolishness.
Creating stories is a hard enough task. Making them come true? even when simple, base or trival? Quite nearly impossible -- and for those who have demonstrated some aptitude for it -- well, we should choose wisely. Do things because we have a good answer to "Why?" and not just "Why not?"
Perhaps most interesting is that all the stress I was feeling about my career vanished instantaneously when this other situation resolved itself. Which says the career wasn't the problem at all. I'm back to thinking the world is quite a bit better than it really is, even if I'm less sure of in what way, than I've perhaps been in the recent past.
Also, best sax player ever in the W. 4th street F stop last night. Not that he was so good. But his musical selection -- I laughed out loud. Timing, is everything. See #1.
