John Mayer and Other Thoughts

A few early morning thoughts that ran through my head as I was driving from my house to Centerville and back this morning to get those blasted 5 cent notebooks at Wal-mart for school.
First off is John Mayer, he has been on my mind for weeks. Actually, mostly in the last 72 hours. I went to his concert in Salt Lake City on Monday and it was amazing. That man can totally rock. If you have never heard him, may I suggest you give him a listen. If you have heard him and you are thinking, "Isn't he the one who sings Your Body is a Wonderland?" Yes, he is and that honestly is the worst song he sings. If you still need convincing, listen to his version of Route 66 on Cars. It is incredible, it shows his mixing of normal rock and blues. And that is what makes him different than every other rock artist out there, blues. He took his song Daughters and made this 4 minute ballad into an 8 minute blues ballad. WOW! Not only that but he was pretty funny, he is a performer and I don't think I will ever listen to his music the same.
The next topic on my mind is those 5 cent notebooks, that I can't seem to get anywhere.
Then there is the new pretty phone, and when I think of that I start to think of the conversation I had with my roommate about my buying habits. And well, first let me show you the phone. here This is going to be the latest style of the phone I have now. And I love my phone, so why not upgrade, however, it isn't available so I have to wait, which brings me to my conversation with my roommate. I was telling her about the phone and how pretty it was etc. She just gave me her I am amused by what you are saying look. So, I called her on it. I also told her I like stuff, and I can afford it so why not. She just kept smiling and giving me a hard time about my stuff acquisition. So, I kind of started justifying myself. And I realized, I don't need to. This is my money, my life, and if I want to buy the pretty new phone when it comes out then I will and no one will stop me. I've decided this is my favorite thing about being a professional and single. I make money that I can spend and I don't have to answer to anyone else about the way it is spent. I know that sometimes I spend too much, see other post, but who knows when this fun is all going to end for me. So, I think I am going to enjoy it while I can.

You need to totally live it up while you are still single! Enjoy life! Seriously! Just as long as you are responsible and still saving a little at a time. If you can afford to do fun stuff and buy great things, that is awesome! Sometimes I wish I would have had that freedom.

I agree with you, enjoy life and buy fun things while you can!I do wish Rich had saved more money instead of enjoying life so much before we had met.
