The Great(est)

i haven't updated in a very long time. mostly, i am not sure why i haven't except for the fact that I have been either too lazy or too busy to. I do work a lot, especially on Wednesdays, when my shifts are 13 hrs.

i just watched Paranoid Park, which was a very good film. If you've seen in, than you know what sort of state of mind I am in. Yes, i'll admit, films do have that effect on me.

I've spent most of the past month thinking too much about nothing, and having lots of fun with cool people. Vague, I know. I've been craving more specific and epic adventures but my current position forbids it. Not that I am trapped or things are mundane, in fact i've been feeling the complete opposite of those two. It is just that, instead of necessarily indulging in a brief and gloriously fleeting moment, I can only sit back and enjoy the ride. I am "driving", though, to use a cliche metaphor.

I did see CSS/The Go Team, which was really fun, especially CSS. Loverfoxxx is a very engaging performer, and I appreciated their energy on stage.

I've seen obscene amounts of movies, so I won't even go there.

I will say this, though. Big city living never ceases to amaze me. Mostly because with all of these people, I've never felt so comfortable being myself and being content here. All of the things i've left behind, a short 2 hr drive, have left me completely. The ones that are still around, obviously I miss dearly and still feel a connection to, but I have lost connections with so many things in the best way. Specifically, the negative. If memory is at least a little malleable, then why not shape it positively?
