A new day already? Fantastic! I'm actually really glad that I stuck with UTC on Tilde Town. I kind of wish the world ran on UTC. When I say 14:00, nobody would have to ask, "What time zone is that," but I digress. I've discovered a new energy drink. "Monster Energy Ultra Black". Black Cherry-flavored energy! Well, I'm saying this in a blog, so perhaps I'm far too enamoured with energy drinks. I've had quite a bit of variety in energy drinks. I have a wide variety of favorites, so yeah. I love energy drinks a bit too much. Caffeine in general perhaps. Hell, my damn username is caff. Perhaps I'll write more and include a song after I run home! I forgot my tie and dress shoes for tonight's rehersal dinner for my friend's wedding! ~caff ----- Well, I managed to look halfway decent in a suit. I'm pretty happy with that. Got to have dinner and meet new people. Looking forward to the actual wedding tomorrow. I still have to deal with constant self-doubt though. I was constantly worried that I was invited out of pity, or obligation. That they didn't actually want me there, but I RSVPed, and they didn't want to tell me know. I'm somewhat sure that's not the case, but I can't help that constant gnawing at the corner of my mind. Perhaps someday I won't feel like an impostor in my own skin. ~caff ----- Time for some music! I don't know about the rest of you, but when I was a kid, I _loved_ Blue's Clues. It was one of my favorite shows, and as much as I loved Joe, the replacement host, the original host always held a special place in my heart. When he left the show, there was speculation of him being a drug user. Even though I was fairly young, I still heard the rumors. The truth is actually more interesting, at least to me. Steve left willingly. He never wanted to spend his entire career as a children's host. Even though the show brought him an amazing amount of success, including being named one of People Magazine's most eligible bachelors, it wasn't his passion. Combine that with the fact that he started to go bald, and there you have the reason Steve Burns left Blue's Clues. This isn't to say he left the spotlight though. Burns wanted to pursue his music career, and he also wanted to ensure he didn't go bald on TV, particularly not on a kids' show, so Burns left, and produced his debut album "Songs for Dustmites" with The Flaming Lips. While it's never really blown up, the songs on his album are evocative, passionate, and great to listen to. So enjoy one of the songs off of his first album, "Maintain".
