04/28/2005: "Used to Be (Reprise)/Three Quotes"

Today my dad handed me a program from a play I starred in ages ago.

I wonder if the universe is trying to tell me something.

Also in my mind today are these quotes:

First, from Firefly:

“No power in the ‘verse can stop me.”

I always loved that line. It feels so empowering and hopeful to say it.

Sometimes I think though that there is a power in the ‘verse that can stop me, and it’s me.

Why do we so often get in our own way? Or it is just me?

Perhaps not since Pink wrote a song about it – “Don’t let me get me.”

Also, my nostalgia of late made this Pat Green lyric stand out to me today, from the song “All The Good Things Fade Away:”

“Sure seems shitty to me there has to be such a thing as the good old days.
Someday, somewhere, my hair like my memories will all just fade out to gray.”

It’s been really hard to write lately. But I keep trying. A little bit here, a little bit there.

I guess that last “no” hit me harder than I let on.
