Ok, so after creating her own, my fiancee Shari convinced me to create this blog which I have now named "Off He Goes..." I figure a good first post would be to explain the name. Off He Goes is probably my favorite song by my favorite band, Pearl Jam. While the lyrics to the song (below) probably are completely irrelevant to this blog, I thought the title itself was.
Know a man... his face seems pulled and tense...
Like he's riding on a motorbike... in the strongest winds...
So i approach with tact... suggest that he should relax...
But he's always moving much too fast...
Said he'll see me on the flipside... of this trip he's taken for a ride.
He's been taking... too much on... there he goes
with his perfectly... unkept clothes... there he goes...
He's yet to come back... but I see his picture...
Doesn't look the same up on the rack... We go way back...
I wonder bout his insides... its like his thoughts are too big for his size.
He's been taken... where? I don't know... off he goes
with his perfectly... unkept hope... there he goes...
And now i rub my eyes... for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
For he still smiles... and he's still strong...
Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit... that has grown...
And now he's home and we're laughing
Like we always did... my same old... same old friend...
Until a quarter-to-ten... I saw the strain creep in...
He seems distracted and i know just what is gonna happen next...
Before his first step... He's off again...

Off I go to write about whatever is on my mind... Dan
