Right now, I feel kinda comfortably perfect, I can't explain why, but I think it's because I am not worried about a float, i'm not over-cafinated, it's a comfortable temperature, i'm in front of a fan, I don't feel like a dirt bag, and I am really proud of myself. Last night, I felt an overwhleming feeling of "man, i'm good and I am glad I am here". I couldn't have had a better night, being in my clouded leopard puppet, playing with the crowd, in front of a gorgeous float I designed and made with a fantastic bunch of folks.
