Dude, I have to say that although the summer's been pretty uninspired, my life's all right. Not "all right" in the half-assed "when I say 'all right' I really mean so-so" way, but "all right" in the laid-back, thumbs-up way. I ain't got any money, but I got a girlfriend, beer, a published novel, and my buddies, so when I kick back in my chair and listen to Brant Bjork, things are all right.

Not that I couldn't use a change or two. I'd like a GTO Judge, no job, and a new venue (for a little while, at least, since H-Town's where I'm gonna ultimately end up), but all in good time.

It's casual, and that's all I can really ask for.
