Learning to Fly

I have Tom Petty on in the background as I was on doing some e-mail, and my favorite of his songs (see: title) came on, and that's about how I feel right now. I used to associate this song with Shannon and a time we were both really messed up on a makeshift inhalant (I don't recommend it; those were strange times), and it's still impossible for me to listen to this song without at least thinking of that afternoon I spent laying on the floor of her apartment barely able to move. But listening to it today in combination with some key feedback from people who think I'm pretty nifty has me feeling pretty mellow. You know, compared to where I was last night when I wrote that post. I feel pretty good. The sky isn't falling. I'm all right.

I'm learning to fly.

I've also already been to the bookstore today to write, and I rocked pretty goddam hard with it. I might head back there in a little while and try to follow it up. We'll see.
