Lyrics
so I was driving and Pardon Me by Incubus came on the radio. It was a song I remember from back when I was really into rock, but as I sat in my car listening to the lyrics, I really started feeling them. Like the first line, I didnt expect this to be my life at 23. A decade ago, I would have thought I would be halfway through a JD at Harvard, or something else ridiculously successful. So for that fact alone, I feel a lot of frustration, confusion, depression, anxiety, etc. Some days I feel like I'm about to combust... It's like everyone else's lives go on as I sit here waiting for my life to start. All of which help to make me feel like I've had enough of the world and all the crap with that comes along with trying to live a dichotomy. Anyway, I'm not feeling particularly locquacious today... so read the lyrics I have posted, because they describe my internal sentiments more than I seem to be able to right now

Why Georgia Why?
Ok, so I have at times thought that I should have a soundtrack for my life; no I'm not that narcisitic... But, have you ever been in a mood where you have no words to express how you are feeling? I've been in a mood like that alot lately... Sometimes my words won't do but lyricists and musicians always seem to have the ones I need.
The Song of the Day is "Why Georgia Why" by John Mayer
This is a fairly introspective song and for that reason alone its fitting for how I feel today and have been feeling for awhile. I didn't get into school... And aside from being a major blow to my ego and throwing all of my plans for the near and distant future into a tailspin, this sudden and I must admit unforseen turn of events has left me with nothing productive to do but let tv melt my brain, read, or while away the hours pondering my meager and wholly disappointing existence (hence the blog). I've been asking myself 'why' alot lately. And maybe like John says this "might be a quarter-life crisis or just a stirring in my soul, either way I wonder about the outcome." Maybe I wouldn't wonder about the outcome so much if I could find a freaking job. Maybe I could find a freaking job if I wasnt always thinking three steps ahead instead of focusing on the present... Well my Grandma and John Mayer agree on one thing- Everything happens for a reason. I'm still on the fence on the that one, even though I hope with all my heart that its true. In any case I will continue to ask myself if I am living my life 'right?' what is right to me? what do I want? where do I want to go?There is loneliness in uncertainty, but there is truth in it as well. The one thing I can be certain about is that change and therefore uncertainty are constants... Might as well make them friends if they're gonna be around all the time.
