If I could turn back the hands of time
Arizona.
*sighs and turns on the radio as I drive in the car, looking out at the sky filled with scattered clouds on this 103 F degree-d day, tapping the airconditioning controls as a Shania Twain song comes on, sounding somewhat static, as the radio's old like the a/c and the rest of the car*
So hot.. Very very hot.. the humidity's so.. there's no humidity. Water. *clears throat* Water. Must..have..water.
*shakes head and makes a turn, finally out on the 'big' Sedona road where the traffic's very light, I tap the a/c controls once again, sighing as a few drops of sweat build up on my forehead*
I need to stop asking my drummer to call car rentals for me. I always wind up with the worst cars imaginable. I hope he gets this back to that car place in one piece when I get back to the hotel.
*smiles as I let out another sigh, looking around at the familiar surroundings, those surroundings 4 years ago I saw every single day*
I spent last night at home. My mom made this huge dinner and invited some of our friends, we were all there. Dad kept talking about the furnitures he's built, carpentry's a new hobby of his.. *giggles lightly* He showed me a couple of wobbly chairs he made and this little coffee table that looked like it would collapse at any second. *smiles as the radio goes off all of a sudden, as it tends to do every now and then* Nicole's desperate over some boy at school.. David found a job. *stops at a red light and looks to my side where a truck's stopped too, I sigh, remembering something* I passed this place while driving that golf cart with my sister back in 1999.. January, to get to a nearby place to drop off a demo and picture. It seemed like only yesterday..
*bites my lower lip and jumps, looks up at the now green light and continues driving when the person behind me honks their horn. I shake my head and tap the a/c with the radio, and now some Mariah Carey song comes on, with more static than earlier*
Back to Pheonix. Show tonight. Yeah.. Two hours on the road and I'll be back. Good thing I don't have to dance..

Thank you Eliza and Keri for coming. And.. that person Eliza took along who wore an "Unbranch Michelle" shirt...
