Santa Barbara is in my near future. I planned a trip for this weekend with the sole purpose of escape. It's been far too long since I've left the dear state of Nevada and I think the drive to the coast will be refreshing. I invited Casey, Jeff, and Wes but that doesn't mean any of them will be joining me, yet I don't think I would mind the trip all by my lonesome.
I absolutely plan on going to the beach and the weather forecast is said to be sunny and 70! I'll hit up the down town for some shopping and hopefully get a taste of the SB night life. I know a couple of girls who go to school out there so hopefully we will be able to meet up. I feel like being rambunctious and I don't plan on being disappointed.

On a side note, I got my first speeding ticket yesterday...rather unfortunate. I still need to call and find out how much it is going to cost me; hopefully not an arm and a leg.

Last night I went to see Minus the Bear. The show was more amazing than I had expected and those guys really put on a good show. This, of course, could have been influenced by the amount of gin in my system but I still maintain that I was sober enough to stand up and thus could groove to some slammin' music!

An excerpt from Summer Angel-Minus the Bear
"Poppies swayed while she spun on how she fell in love.
When in Rome, c'est la vie, when over seas; however you want.
We leaned closer and she finally threw me the life raft;
She pulled me in and kept me right until the night left."

Work is slow today so I feel free to write...this post is becoming lengthy as a result.
Here are more lyrics because I'm totally into Minus the Bear right now...

Double Vision Quest

Caught in the locked groove of this long season
These hours motions circle, still repeating
The beat moves on itself
The beat moves on itself

Everyday my love
Crazy, crazy days are gone
When I come home
And we're finally alone

I'm caught in your arms safe from a morning
No one walks out on the tightrope today my love
The beat moves on itself
The beat moves on itself

Everyday my love
Crazy, crazy days are gone
When I come home
Crazy, crazy days are gone
When I come home

We awoke at the edge of a summer
New days began to stretch their legs
And the tempo's changing the compliancy
The needle finds the groove to free us tonight

We awoke on the edge of this winter
The ice melts off and flows in like a song
The record plays but the needles old
It lets the player take control

Move the speakers how they're told
To make us march for something more
Music is a sedative
And you put out what you put in
