Hey Murphy.. how’s it going?

It’s amazing. in the past 2 weeks Murphy has been able to give me a big kick in the ass. Just when you think you understand things, he likes to come around and give you a reminder tap that he’s around.

I’m going to take this post in reverse. It should be somewhat momento-esqe this way. (which btw is an excellent movie) My last entry outlined being away from home. I actually spent 2 weekends down here until I went back to Duluth marking the longest time away from home. I ended up crashing at a friends house since my parent’s don’t like me coming home at 2 in the morning. I can’t really blame them, the dogs bark and the garage door sound is one that simply can’t be muffled. Sunday however, my car took a turn for the worse. To make a long story short, the intake valve on cylinder 2 is frozen open from what we can tell. Luckily I was about a mile away from my garage in Duluth so I was able to limp it home. The plan is to pick up a new head and swap it on Friday night before MNSC’s Spring Cruise on Saturday.

So here I am, in St. Louis Park where I said I’d be worried if something happened. I have no car, thus no reliable method of transportation to or from work but do have a ride back this weekend. Some of my friends came through for me in a big way and were able to give me a ride down here today. It’s a good feeling that I have someone I can rely on when I’m down. One thing I’ve learned living down here recently is friends are more and more important so I’m very thankful for the ones I made. It doesn’t matter if my car isn’t running, or I’m stranded in Superior with $2 and no keys, they’ve been there for me both in Duluth and in Minneapolis.

All in all though I’m feeling pretty good about things right now. I definitely have closure to some things that bothered me in the past and moving on is all that’s left. I’ve been thinking about stepping back some from the car club as I’ve taken a very active roll lately in what’s going on. I need to step back a bit and start focusing on djing again. It’s been too long since I’ve played for a crowd, we can’t have anyone thinking I’ve given up now can we.
