the stars, the moon, they have all been blown out.

Back to my daily routine of going to the gym every day. I find that when I don't commit to doing something every day I end up spinning around in circles and getting dizzy too fast. Stability. That's what I need. Even if it's that every day I wake up, drink a cup of coffee, watch Say Yes to the Dress from 11-12 and then go work out for an hour. Even that is helpful to my sanity.

While I was pumping away on the cycle machine I was listening to an episode of This American Life, #218 to be exact, and it pretty much blew my mind. A group of high security prison inmates putting on a production of Hamlet. I thought I knew that play, but this shook my perception just a little bit. The play is about a man who is contemplating the consequences of murdering someone, and now it's being read by people who are serving those consequences. They didn't need to chops of an actor to pierce my heart they way they did. I'm feeling a little bit humbled.
