Born to lose

Oh my god am I feeling Johnny Cash lately. I really don't know is it the weather or what but his songs just fit... The ultimate rebel and outlaw, heh....
I am leaving for Zadar this afternoon, because my friend id visiting her boyfriend, so she kindly offered a ride home. It is probably going to be quite nice to visit my friends and family, even for a single day. I might get a chance to taste some of my moms cooking, if I am fortunate enough. I am also facing money problems because I have been on a spending spree, being Xmas time and all. I got a hold of quite some cool apparel and am really excited about it. I'm not regretting it one iota.

I also started reading the book The Punk Rock Dad written by the author Jim Lindberg , the prominent lead singer of one of my favorite punk rock bands Pennywise. The book is an amazing retrospective of his life, the beginnings of the band and his maturing from a deviant adolescent to a responsible family man, still sticking to his guns and not forgetting his roots. Most importantly the book presents an handbook for future and current parents based on his experience with his three daughters, which in his own words changed his life completely. Here is a sentence i particularly like, and think describes the book perfectly: " It's kind of someone warning you when you are about to go on a particularly frightening roller-coaster ride or you're about to watch an extremely scary film. Of course you should go; they just warn you that you're probably not really prepared for what you are getting in to...."
