Slow down, you're crazy child,
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile.
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two.
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

I love this segment of the Billy Joel song "Vienna." Vienna is a metaphor for the rest of your life, and it's about people that spend their whole life worrying themselves to death about their direction in life, living life like a checklist of things to do. Terrible. At least to me.

This coming from the guy who climbs his body into a hole and hikes until he can't anymore.

Anyway, today is Cinco de Mayo. Which in America is really just an excuse to shoot tequila and eat copious amounts of Mexican food. I used to know what Cinco de Mayo meant. I know it's not the Mexican Independance Day. I seem to recall there being something to do with peasants defeating an invading army, which would have likely been French or Spanish, but I don't know for sure.

I was going to do a post on immigration, but I seem to have forgotten what I was going to say within the course of the last eight hours.

It had something to do with loving people.
