It’s hot and I’m alive
Like real hot. The kind of hot that makes me want to go Mgyver on some bookshelves and rubber bands to make a ceiling fan. The only good thing that comes from this swelter is the uncanny flutter of creativity that comes with it. I feel like I could sweat (literally) over a project for hours on end and not be burdened by the thought of sleep. That too comes with a downside, being that late to bed late to rise and I’d rather not feel worthless by sleeping in. In a perfect world I would wake up early and beat the heat with a jog around the lake. Condition has added twenty new minutes to his latest mix and I’d like to give it a test run (literally).
Work has been out of sorts lately. I feel like I’ve been working more during this recession than I would if the economy was normal, which you will never hear me complaining about. Not only is it great for me financially (I finally got a new computer) but it has done wonders for my mental health. Work always does that to me, and the recent jobs have really given me purpose since they have been 1st instead of 2nd. Doesn’t hurt that I got to work with the unbelievable Will Ferrell. I don’t get starstruck but I couldn’t help but smile the entire time.
I’m going home to St. Louis in a few weeks and it seems like each time I get the chance to do so I am increasingly anxious to do so. Maybe it’s just part of growing up, but the thought of seeing my family and friends that I don’t get to see but a few times a year if that means more and more each time. The older I get, the more I am able to cherish things. And speaking of old, I’m about a month away from quarter century. A lot of people seem to make a big deal out of this one. I guess it kind of is. I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot and had my share of experiences thus far, but I’ll always be striving for more.
I’ve thought about closing this blog and switching solely to my tumblr, but after this, maybe I still see the merit of stretching the more personal pen in this forum, even if it is far and few between.
