Snapshots of the Day So Far

Being unable to get up in the morning simply because you don't have a reason for doing so.

Taking a hot shower and wondering what you'll do with your four-day weekend.

Walking around Target with the Polyphonic Spree's "Light & Day" running through your head.

Getting cut off in traffic twice.

Driving down the interstate in the sunshine.

Breathing cold February air that's heavy with the promise of summer.

Singing along to the last verse of the Ataris' cover of "Boys of Summer" in a Plymouth.

Getting passed by a fat man in a Volkswagen Rabbit.

Getting passed by a Mercury with two kids your age inside.

Feeling that inescapable twinge of loneliness that comes with driving by yourself.

Driving through a small town with the windows down and "I Melt With You" playing ridiculously loudly because there's no one there but you to hear it.

Typing up a journal entry and feeling alone.

Trying to figure out what you'll do tonight.

Realizing that you don't care what you do as long as you're doing it with somebody else.
