faint light

i presently sit listening to the song i wrote about jimmy carter (wherein he is really an alien and his "people" have come to reclaim him) and i am enjoying it quite a bit...not something i can always say while listening to my own work. so judgemental of ourselves we can be. anyway, jimmy carter reported a ufo sighting while in georgia at one point in his life (pre-presidency), a fact that i find interesting. as silly as it may sound, it suggests to me that perhaps his mind is capable of perceiving the world in a less egocentric, ethnocentric, (human-centric) way than many of our other leaders. or maybe not. maybe he just has bad eyesight.

well...my eyes are a bit tired too (lack of sleep and too many hours mixing) but we are all indeed done. christian, matthew, and i that is. 42 songs about presidents. i am proud of us. i think we all lost our momentum about 2/3 of the way through, but somehow all focused on some faint light at the end. our lives, so often driven by faint lights off in the distance. if you've not checked it out yet, it is indeed a sight to behold. go here.

i believe today i'll just read...perhaps something futuristic. i'm done with history for the time being.
