Say good morning to another set of creature

I try to avoid long, drawn-out ramblings about personal issues but sometimes its just too relevant to great music that its completely unavoidable. As I sit here watching the Bears, I'm doing the same thing I've been doing for the past 48+ hours: thinking. Why? I don't know. About what? Oh, anything and everything. All I know is I haven't been able to sleep much with so much on my mind.

I woke up after a brief 2 hour nap this morning at 4am. I threw on some music and tried to go back to sleep but to no avail. 5am rolled around. I decided I would just go for a ride. I brought my computer to plug in and just hit shuffle on my iTunes (yep, iTunes). I've never really explored much of the farmland surrounding Champaign, so I decided to venture south and a little bit east. I came across a couple little small towns that reminded me of some Northern Michigan towns. For the record, I've been wanting to head up north for a while and that's how the similarity fits into my thinking.

I kept driving. I kept turning off the main roads and into walls of corn. Occasionally I'd pass a lowland where fog would rise up and blanket the road in front of me. A full moon was out when I left but I soon found a park along side a river and just sat there and watched the sun come up. It was awesome. I kept driving. Eventually I turned around. I don't even remember most of the music I was listening to; I was zoning out. However, this one came on during the drive back down the highway. It was perfect. I put it on repeat and drove the rest of the way home. Happy Sunday. Enjoy. I should take a nap.
