October is the cruelest month…
Upon looking at my calendar I have like 4 days off the whole month. I look forward to it all year. But I also know it will be emotionally draining. On days when I do two and three shows I get overwhelmed because the show is so personal to me and many times I take the energy of the audience with me. I think about some of the stories that are entrusted to me afterward. I relive my brother’s and my family’s experiences. Some people decompress in different ways. I like to go in my car and blast the loudest wall of noise on my ipod. Deftones. Sabbath. Nirvana. Nine Inch Nails. Its totally healing. This year I will attempt something different.
I am planning a vacation in November. I have not been on a vacation trip in seven years. I have been on little trips on days off and had a few getaways…but not really a vacation. So I’m going to Costa Rica. Its got monkeys, sloths, turtles, beaches, volcanoes, turtles, rainforests, exotic birds, sunshine, spas, windsurfing, turtles, golf, hiking, and uhhhh turtles. So I’m online looking at hotels and such and I came across the greatest frickin description of a hotel or resort I have ever seen. I copied and pasted it below. Enjoy.
“2,400 lush acres in an enchanted land where challenging golf meets thrilling eco-adventure.”
AWESOME!
