Yeah, I basically skipped most of December and January. I just didn't feel the need to write and in all honesty, I forgot I even had this thing. I'll give you a little summary of the time missed: I ate a giant burger, I'm taking 20 credits and the Rangers are somehow good again. That's about it. Exciting life, I know.
So Ben Folds has begun to try out new material on the road and it sounds fairly promising. It is more upbeat and passionate than the stuff on Silverman, it has anger and an edge. Anger on a piano is difficult to pull off but when you have titles like "The Bitch Went Nuts", it can be done. I haven't been this excited about new music in a long time, not since the last Arcade Fire album probably.
My stress management course has been a God send...I feel more relaxed than I have in years. I end up becoming a little apprehensive when I read the actual chapters because the process behind and consequences of stress can be intimidating. You read this material and are able to trace everything back into your life, it is surreal. It is also a wake up call, stress truly can be a killer. The methods we have been learning have been hit and miss, with the breathing stuff being really helpful and the new agey meditation stuff...not so much. It is a real testiment to course material when you actually look forward to attending a class at 8:30 in the morning. I am more awake and energized at 8 am than I ever could be at 9:30 when I get ready for my religion course.
