today's new music is courtesy of jason via nancy. i love dave. now, let me say that a lot of phish phans don't love dave. but there is something about this man's voice that just makes me melt. i have never seen him live, although i would love too... problem is, i'm not gonna spend the amount of money it costs to see DMB. this is a great disc set. pretty much all my dave "live" discs are good, and i am happy to add it to my collection!

frusration, ugh...
well, it's been a long time since i have sat down and actually wrote something. the past couple of weeks have been crazy and i don't know, i guess my frustration has finally gotten to me...
we found out a couple of weeks ago at work, that one of our accounts is leaving on august 11. this is an account that i helped start up, but i am no longer associated with. so, why am i frustrated, since i'm not associated with it anymore?
well, because they are leaving, we may not need all the management people that we currently have in place. i got promoted (temporarily, until i could prove myself) in january. so, because of the fact that although, yes, i have proven myself, my position may be eliminated.
so, i find out today, that i will still have my position until at least september 1, but that we will "revisit" everything then. so, i have a month of stressing out ahead of me. there is really no one i can talk to about this situation, as my boyfriend works for the same company, and all of this is information that i'm not really allowed to discuss in detail. (what i have written thus far is all common knowledge, so i'm not divulging any secrets by writing this.)
i'm also frustrated in the fact that the few times i do try to talk to him about anything work related, it turns into a fight. we fight about work all the time, unfortunately. he and i are VERY different when it comes to the way we look at work. so, it's to the point that work is an "off-limits" topic... and that sucks.
i can't talk to my mom about it, because she will just share it with greg because she is "worried" about me... i understand that, but at the same token, i would like to talk to my mom.
o well... i feel better now that i got some of this out... the next month is gonna suck.

new music friday
today's new music comes from one of my favorite movies, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" First of all, LOVE the movie, secondly, love the soundtrack! The movie is a gag, very funny, and George Clooney and John Turturro are perfect in this flick! Check out the soundtrack if you like the movie, because, it's a good one!!

having it easy...
Our lives are an exercise in facing challenges. We dream the grandest of dreams as youngsters only to discover that we must cultivate copious inner strength and determination in order to meet our goals. Our hard work does not always yield the results we expect. And it is when we find ourselves frustrated by the trials we face or unable to meet our own expectations that we are most apt to take notice of those individuals who appear to accomplish great feats effortlessly. Some people's lives seem to magically fall into place. We can see the blessings they have received, the ease with which they have attained their desires, their unwavering confidence, and their wealth. But, because we can never see the story of their lives as a whole, it is important that we refrain from passing judgment or becoming envious.
Throughout our lives, we glimpse only the outer hull of others' life experiences, so it's tempting to presuppose that the abundance they enjoy is the result of luck rather than diligent effort. In a small number of cases, our assumptions may mirror reality. But very few people "have it easy." Everyone must overcome difficulties and everyone has been granted a distinctive set of talents with which to do so. An individual who is highly gifted may nonetheless have to practice industriously and correct themselves repeatedly in order to cultivate their talents. Their myriad accomplishments are more likely than not the result of ongoing hard work and sacrifice. You, no doubt, have natural abilities that you have nurtured and your gifts may be the very reason you strive as tirelessly as you do. Yet others see only the outcome of your efforts and not the efforts themselves.
Our intellects, our hearts, and our souls are constantly being tested by the universe. Life will create new challenges for you to face each time you prove yourself capable of overcoming the challenges of the past. What you deem difficult will always differ from that which others deem difficult. The tests you will be given will be as unique as you are. If you focus on doing the best you can and making use of the blessings you have been granted, the outcome of your efforts will be a joyous reflection of your dedication.

I remember driving from El Paso to Phoenix to watch this live simulcast in June of 2004, and i had THE BEST TIME... the boys put on a great show, and i danced my ass off, in a movie theater, no less... i got goosebumps as i put the dvd in and heard "dinner and movie" and possum... and the suzy kicked my ass!! anyway, it is nice to be able to talk phish when it comes to new music! i got a "bonus" cd with my dvd purchase, and that hasn't come out of my cd player in my car since i got it!! even some fluffhead teases in there for me!!

new music friday
today's new music is actually old music, for me, but rediscovered! i have been listening to string cheese incident for a few years now, and this was my first cd, courtesy of my friend matt (rip.) this is a great disc, it's fun, it's upbeat, and keeps your foot tappin' thru most of the disc. the "cheese" does have a tendency to be a bit odd sometimes, and you find that on the second disc, but that's easy enough to get through. there is definitely a bluegrass feel to most of their must, and i must say, from personal experience, they put on a helluva show! i would go see them again, given the opportunity!
