I don't wanna come back down from this cloud

I'm so close I can practically taste it.

That's right. If you haven't read my previous post, do yourself a favor and glance a little lower and enlighten yourself.

I've found my niche. I've found a state of mind that's easy to drift into, even when I'm mad, that I'm comfortable in. What's even more exciting is that I didn't have to search for this mindset; it just happened one morning.

Is everything perfect? No. Hell no. I still like the light on. I've got several responsibilities, needs, and obligations. They aren't weighting me down, though. There's just a few things I need to get off my chest before I'm fully at peace. No point about writing it down here. I'm saving those for an in-person setting.

My muse is back in full force. I can hardly take a shower without having a great thought. My current short story project is in full force. I'm already six pages in, and it's going to be good. And I hate my own work. Bass is coming on really well. The fast Pantera stuff I'm trying to learn is clicking, and the slower classic rock is turning out well too. I don't like using a pick while playing bass, but some of the greats do, and it just doesn't sound right if I don't. I'm better at it now, though. I'm still having a little trouble with palm-muting, but that'll come with practice.

Oh, and thanks for the advice, my friend. Smiling at pretty girls is good for the soul. Especially if they smile back. Even more so if they wave.
