I go back to work tomorrow. While on vacation I found a calling for a new career. Does anyone know how to apply for a trust fund? I think I would be well suited to this type of work.

Went into work today, grabbed all my stuff, and sent my resignation letter.

I'm am now unemployed.

Here's my take on it so far: For the new me to born, the old me has to die. Birth is a painful and terrifying experience.

Also: Went to a bluegrass festival yesterday and I'm really psyched about maybe picking up a bluegrass instrument. First stop--in addition to my guitar which, like, why bother there's already enough guitar players in the world and they play steel string and I play nylon--is the SAW which sounds awesome and otherworldly, but probably has the same learning curve of the violin. Easier get: the dobro, which I think it just a regular guitar with jacked up action that you exclusively play slide on. I don't have a proper dobro with resonator, but pretty much any of my unusued steel string guitars can double. Plus, I've always wanted to play slide guitar. I REALLY want to do an open tuning slide of Time, by Tom Waits but perfected by Tori Amos.
