Ramblings of the Eternally Bored

Just saying HI to all my LJ friends. I feel I've been negligent on keeping up on this journal and reading everyone elses. The little time I spend online, I'm usually checking facebook. When I first joined, I looked to see if anyone I knew from school was on there, and there was nobody. So I never went back. In the last month or two, I've gotten friend requests from tons of people. Everyone from my first childhood friend, to girls I had crushes on in high school. It's been interesting to hear from everyone. Who's married. Who's passed away. Who's in jail etc.. The best part for me is hooking up with some old musician friends I haven't talked to in well over a decade. We're getting a jam session together soon, and I'm so excited to play again, especially with some of these people. My friend Bob is the best drummer I've ever met. Just a world class musician. But sadly, we never really played together. We messed around a few times in the garage, but we never found the time to be in a band. I look forward to seeing how we gel.

My depression is not as deep lately, so that's a good thing. I took my brothers death pretty hard. We were closest in the family. He was the one that if I was reading a good book, I'd pick up the phone to tell him about it and have him pick it up. I'd get a call about some movie on cable he was watching. I love my other siblings, but we have none of that in common. I can call them to say hi, but we won't get into hour long conversations about some obscure 70s British prog band. I miss it. I miss him. Though I am dealing with it much better, I think next month will be tough. We are heading to my sister in laws house for Easter. It will seem so empty without him there. I'll probably just want to go sit in his office and go through his books.
