And I think the reason I am happy is I had lunch with some hot girl who I found out is really into philosophy and cool music. Basically just a "life is good" type of thing:  great career, wife and (soon to be) 2 sons, plenty of prog, etc.

Life for me, is a blank which I am unsure how to fill in.

At the risk of sounding like a dork, when I (and all my friends) were your age, we felt the exact same way.

I'm sure a lot of people go through feeling similarly, but for me it's been like that for the last 4 or so years.  I've quite adapted to it, and more often than not, enjoy it.

hej Linus, how's your day going?

It's been kind of busy. Laundry to take care of, a couple of hours working on that math "paper" (done!), dinner to make, bass to play, taking out the garbage, e-mails to send.

Now I'm free though, and I'm gonna enjoy it

Hey Rob.

Enjoying that seems like a good idea...

I love the focus and drive of this album. The debut was a little more reflective and free-form. This is more concise and punchy.

Absolutely.

I listened to Leg End while shoveling the driveway.

I love listening to the most weird music while doing random tasks.  Sometimes it serves as a soundtrack, other times it totally conflicts the internal world (headphones) and external world (the location) and makes things interesting.
