Taking the long way...

I am a Dixie Chicks fan and have always liked their music. From some of their songs back in the day to now. One of their songs on their new album kind of sums up how I feel about things I do in my life. The song is below...

The Long Way Around-Dixie Chicks

My friends from high school
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes
Where their parents live

But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

I hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Lived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheel

I've been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
But I've always found my way somehow

By taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around

I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to

No I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

It's been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I'm getting' it back on the road now

But I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
The long
The long way around

Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself

But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found

Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around

I start thinking about it and it seems like I have taken the long way around. I have always pretty much done my own thing even if it was different, but I always seem to find the end...it just takes me a little longer. :) (Obviously there are some parts in the song that hasn't happened to me...like getting publicly beat down for basing the President, but anywho, you get the idea.)


As for whats new around here, well ran today at the track workout. That went well, I am meeting some people. Work is going good, I am finally learning things and trying projects. It's a little tricky because my main boss is in New Hampshire and the nearest help is down the hall. So it pretty much is working at my own pace. Other than that, nothing major has happened. I have yet to buy a computer desk or find work clothes!

I'm off to bed!
