The Truth Is More Important Than The Facts

so i'm sick. i'm not complaining, not about getting sick anyway. i could have alot worse reasons to say i'm sick than a head full of pressure and achey everything. but i am greatly annoyed with some of the non-physical side effects. it's the weekend so i should want to go out and see friends and hang out with my girl and the like. but i don't. i'm at home and don't feel like doing anything except sitting here in the living room on the green chair (not the one i'm gonna try and buy on monday if it's still at the sally anne and is still 5$). i've tried other things. i've tried watching things on TV and on the computer but my head feels like sludge and i just get bored and can't pay attention. i've tried to write something for a new project i'm working on, but i just get confused and loose my train of thought and then get frustrated and erase everything. i've sat down with my bass and tried to play something, but i'm incapable of putting anything together in my head, and my damn CD player is broken so playing along to that is out as well. so what have i been doing? well besides the occasional nap and eating little bits once in awhile (i need a coffee right now actually) i've been reading. i never read. don't know why, just easily distracted by anything else. i'm half started or half finished five or six books with ten or twenty others waiting in the wings. so why now? well because i can, it seems it's all i can do right now. and what am i reading? it's a lovely tome called "The World According to Clarkson" which is a collection of his articles from the Sunday Times (England). if the name Jeremy Clarkson means nothing to you, i'm not surprised. he's a presenter on the wonderful motoring program Top Gear (which returns next Sunday with Hampster recovered and from the preview i saw the boys being the boys.) he's generally just a crotchety old man (though he's not that old.) for some reason reading the random ramblings of a jackass far to like myself is nice right now. that and the book is due back at the library on the 25th.

like i said, i'm not complaining. i'm just glad this isn't permanent.
