I'm dizzy from all this spinning

My life is a tornado right now. There are so many things going on at home and work that I feel overwhelmed by everything. Do you ever feel like you're doing so much at once, but nothing is getting accomplished? I feel that way all the time recently. And I know it will pass, but when? Then today, out of the blue, I got an email from an old friend. Totally unexpected and surprising and it left me with too many thought in my head. I need to get away and clear my head, but I can't, so I'll have to find an alternative. Why is Bonnaroo so far away? I could use it right about now. I know I'm speaking in generalities and being incredibly vague, but I'm true in my feelings. I need to get centered. Now, can anyone tell me how to do that?

Oh yeah, and did I mention I'm turning 30 tomorrow?

Bonnaroo '06

Go here www.bonnaroo.com and see the initial list of artists. They were annouced today and I literally jumped up out of my chair. Here's a preview: Radiohead, Phil Lesh and friends, Beck, Ben Folds (Bryan, does that mean Gretchen will go this year?), Rusted Root, Elvis Costello, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Robert Randolph, Nickle Creek, just to name a few. These are the ones I'm most excited about, especially Beck and Ben Folds. My dream would be for Beck to play the 3-4 hour midnight show, like Mars Volta did last year. I could die after that. They'll be annoucing more artist over the next few months, probably 5 or so every couple weeks. There's still alot that I would like to be added, but this is an excellant start. Alot of first timers this year. And I have no one to call and talk to about it right now because it's too early and my friends are either at work or sleeping. From now until June all I'll be doing is waiting for Bonnaroo, I can feel the anticipation already. That's all for now. Peace.
