friday random (pandora) ten: “beaten and broken” edition
Yeah, I’m broken and beaten. Not by anything sinister, but rather the simple act of getting from one piece of life to another, and finding things in my way, be they a 100 mile drive, or a pack of cackling teenagers filming a movie (which wasn’t as bad as I’d expected), or a pile of stuff all over the bed when all I want to do is go to sleep (which was much worse).
Have enough of that stuff happen, and stuff starts to crack. I’m starting to crack. However, I hope I’ll find a little bit of a break coming up – I’ve got two long weekends in the pipeline (and probably 11 more come summer, although I won’t be paid for those) here, and I hope I can find some rebuilding time.
Oh, and I watched Point Break for the first time last night…can’t believe I’ve never seen it before. It’s just about the perfect example of the late 20th century testosterone-fuelled action movie. Patrick Swayze thows a pitt bull at Keanu Reeves at one point – it’s just amazing and ridiculous, and I watched the whole thing with a stupid smile on my face.
Oh well – tunes.

*- let’s completely ignore the fact that I double-taked it for a minute, wondering why Vanilla Ice came up in my Pandora shuffle…
