Today has been a relatively peaceful day so far. There haven't been any fires that have required my attention, and all in all things seem to be all systems go. I'm feeling relaxed. My head is clear of impediment, and I am content. It's a rare moment for me and I am trying not to squander it. Moments of true clarity are scarce and must be cherished. (Unless they happen to someone you don't like… then cruel mockery is the best and only recourse. There's nothing like a good old fashioned chiding to reset someone's emotional compass…)
This morning I had an unusual burst of energy. I got out of bed without the normal nagging insistence of my alarm clock. That hasn't happened for a long time. Usually I slam down on the snooze bar three or four times before my brain will be coaxed into a semi functioning state. It normally takes a longer for motor skills to adjust. I have divested myself of Zombie Marcus today. (Well at least for today…)
The walk to work was breezy with a little nip in the air. I turned the ipod on and happily trundled off, heading first to Bad Ass to get some coffee, and then re-adjusted my route and headed to work. This morning's musical choice was The Clash's London Calling. (Being possibly the greatest record of all time…) It puts the spring in my step easily.
Last night I went to the Ship and Anchor pub. I love it there. It's the best cross section of people this city has to offer, conveniently rolled into a nice and neat little pub. Whether you're a ninja, a mail carrier, a coke mule, a deposed chairman of a former soviet republic, a wannabe rock star or a surgeon, chances are you've gone to the ship more than once. It's a great place to people watch. Which as of late has become my new favourite sport.
I love watching the nonsensical little roads that people wander down after alcohol has been ingested. It amuses me, because I'm the one who paved those roads.

You have Bad Ass coffe there? I am filled with rage and jealousy.
