you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here...

I have drunkenly commented in the past, but secretly feel that Semisonic's song "Closing Time" is one of the greatest songs that has come out while we were growing up. It might actually be a remake from Leonard Cohen (que?), but i just fucking love this song. I could listen to it everyday, and have no problem with it.

here is the video, enjoy (though the quality of the video suggests that somone filmed it while watching it off MTV of something. S'NICE!)



So i'm ending on my 22 hour trip home. It had it's ups and down. In a little under 2 hours we will be having family dinner. YIKES. My brothe's fiance and her children bailed. So now i have to wait for a phone call from her asking if I will be her maid of honor. She i have only met her once for only 2 hours and it was 4 years ago, but that apperently still qualifies me for being her m.o.h (or as the phof knows it maid of dishonor)

So post-sxsw. I feel alittle empty. I was hoping for some really great time with friends, and it wasn't the dream i imagined. I believe you learn from everything. I don't like to regret anything i have done, I'd rather learn from it. I'm still trying to figure out what i have learned from all of this. Don't try so hard to please people? don't bust your balls for anyone but yourself? I don't really know. I know i love the friends i have. pretty much no matter what. we've all hurt each other in one form or another for different reasons and different circumstances. I just hope that we can remember the good times to keep us going to get through the rough stuff, and get back to the good stuff.
