Crumpled Notebook

I have this morning routine. I wake up to my alarm, hit snooze a few times and then grab my Blackberry to check my mail and see if there is anything compelling to get out of bed for at that exact moment or if I should stay laying there a little longer. Most mornings, I stay in bed longer than I should.

This morning, I checked my email and saw I had a friend request on MySpace from “Adam.” Now, if you have a MySpace account, you’re probably like me and assume it’s spam. Kind of the “guilty until proven innocent” mentality. So I open the email and it tells me the full name of the person. Turns outs, it wasn’t spam. It was a real live person that I actually knew. Not only that, it was perhaps my oldest friend whom I haven’t seen or talked to in FOREVER. No reason in particular for that. Life happens. People go different directions. Now, I have a lot of old friends, but honestly, some of them, I’m like “oh, nice to hear from you” and that kind of stuff. But then you have those childhood friend that actually make you excited and happy to hear from. This is one of those cases. I literally jumped out of the bed to go to my real computer and pull up the myspace profile (blackberry isn’t great for that). So, it was a good way to start the day. I got to hear from someone I haven’t heard from in a while and see what’s going on. New house. Photography business. Daughter and family. It made me happy to see this person happy.

Anyway, I don’t jump out of bed too often. I felt like I was 9 years old again for a moment. Ah, the days of Zelda past. Anyway, so my friend looks to be a great photographer so you should check out his stuff. And if you happen to live in Kentucky and plan on getting married or engaged or have something else you need pictures for, you should go visit his site too. ShutterSpeedster.

Yeah, I’m lame and pathetic, I know. But, it doesn’t take much to excite me these days.
