So it is right before I go on this crazy 5 day period of time that my online journal finally comes into being.

I have wanted to do this for a while, but never took the time to “just do it”. Many things getting in the way, not the least of which was just thinking of how I was going to keep things running and interesting once it was working. Too much to worry about, let’s just work with it for now and see where it goes …

The crazy 5 day period of time, you ask? Well, let me explain.

Explain I will.

Over the next 5 days I will:

* Take a trip down to Indio, CA to listen to Oasis, The Strokes, Björk, Cake and others at the Coachella music festival.

* Fly down to San Diego to see The Strokes again (this time co-headlining with Tenacious D) over at the UCDS RIMAC Center. Whatever that is.

* Be back just in time for Wednesday’s Real Madrid – Barcelona return leg of the Champions League semis. The 0-2 away has me feeling all weirded out that Barça will come out hyper-motivated and pull the mother of all upsets.

Anyway, you get the idea. The truth is that all this would be fine and dandy if I had enough time for full night sleeps along the way. But I don’t. Plus I am already half-asleep as it is, I don’t want to think about how bad it might get.

Plus I don’t feel like going on this or the other trip. Weird feeling that is. Don’t get me wrong, I willfully signed up for both events, and in both I will be accompanied by the best of people.

It just doesn’t feel “right”. Don’t know.

But I am sounding like a mentally retarded “niño pijo” now. So let’s just put and end to it.
