Songs like Bob Dylan's Girl From the North Country remind me how much I love music.
I get frustrated when I just hit a great Pandora groove; frustrated because I haven't put as much time into music and music discovery as I have in the past. It makes me feel so great - good music does.
Glad to have a girl who loves it, too.

this coming wedding is very exciting to me. I love hearing and thinking about my friends' marriages, and advice and everything. because i know that Jenny and I have this amazing ability to blend things together, or not blend things together to create our unique life together.
i love our uniqueness, and i feel that it is 10x more unique than anything i can see.
i am so excited to spend the rest of my life with a woman who understands me so incredibly well. this understanding was intuitive and it was not established by my blatant and intentional exposure. it was grasped by allowing herself to be vulnerable about her own spirit and mind, which in turn allowed me to be vulnerable. Pride tried (and will continue to) to get in the way, insisting that i think about things over and over and over again, and second guess my decisions. but God has this incredible way of just tipping over the house of sticks that Pride tries to build.
i guess thats the battle that Bono sings about in one of U2's best songs - Pride (In the Name of Love).
i've always been a romantic, so i wasn't concerned that Love would loose to Pride. but i've seen it do so many many times. i'm just glad i'm aware of it, and can fight on the correct side.
