a coherent collection of random statements regarding God, words and tunes

The Unbearable Lightness of Being Over Myself

And on a personal note….

OK, so I'm just weird. Things go well around me; I'm depressed anyway. Yet, conversely, another half-dozen people got laid off here yesterday (after a similar number went down a few weeks ago -- and it sounds like there's more waves to come), and after joining in the collective ventfest (and we all kind of feel guilty about feeling bad, which frankly is just stupid), I somehow rise above the sadness for no good reason. And there's absolutely nothing cause-and-effect about either of the above statements.

Admittedly, though, there IS some cause-and-effect regarding the subject matter of the rest of this post. And it’s good cause-and-effect.

I'd seen the first four covers of Growing Out before this, but just saw the final two. And maybe there's something about finally seeing all six seasons laid out before me -- not totally unlike what God did nearly 2 1/2 years earlier, and I suddenly realized, "So that's what it would look like..." -- but suddenly I don't feel quite so much like a failure today. Which is good, because this month was really freaking tiresome like that.

Anyway, here they are for your previewing pleasure. Say what you will about them. It's not like they're going to change anymore at this point (I THINK).... they ARE going into the catalog this way, in any case...

 

And as of a few hours ago, I have six lessons left to write. That's it. 72 down, 6 to go. And another has a good chance of going down this weekend. The end seems in sight.

Although given the information that started this, "the end" could mean just about anything. But that's for another post. Or, better yet, not.

By the way, go ahead and read the post just below this, as it’s only an hour or two older than this one, and it's all musical and stuff….
