futura
Looking at my archives, I haven't really posted anything to think about recently. I attribute this to my lack of thinking about things as a whole. It's different, and it's nice. Letting the future come to you instead of trying to get there by your own power. I haven't seriously considered the discussion I was so into as little as a couple weeks ago - the discussion, of course, about homosexuality and all that. Am I allowed to say that I just don't let it take any deep hold in my mind anymore?
<< calliope | Main | shadow waltz >> 11:30 PM by RobIt's a good thing, though. It means I'm not constantly questioning this and that and wearing my brain out in the process. I'm just... being; existing. Going to school, going to work, wasting time on the computer and in front of the tv, and not really doing anything else. I mean sure the stuff is still interesting to me, but I've realized that I will never come to any concrete conclusions about any of it. I can't. Every aspect of life seems to be dependent on at least one other, and one cannot simply define certain segments without affecting most others.
An event happens, a memory is made, knowledge is gained, and with it perhaps a new understanding of the subjects involved, and the process repeats itself. Often there are multiple events at a time. Some are physical, definable moments lasting a few hours. Others are more conceptual feelings lasting years or even decades.
I can't wait until I find that person who understands me better than I, whatever gender they may be. That one who knows what I'm going to say before I even say it. I can't wait to have a bank account that will finally give me the freedom to feel confident about my surroundings.. and I can't wait to wake up every morning, walk out onto a balcony on the 30th floor, and enjoy the sun rising over the mountains. Perhaps with a warm liquid of sorts, which may or may not be good for my health. Head off to the office/loft/studio, and before I know it I'm back home.
But you know what? I'm good with things as they are, right now. I may not think I am at all times..., in fact I may wish to have nothing to do with the present, but it is just another moment. One to work with and help to build my growing library of experience and knowledge. No one else has had the exact same life as I have so far, so why would I want to leave that and go walk in a path that has already been paved?
Especially when I got my loan money today and expect to be writing these updates on a powerbook in a week or so? :)
You see grasshopper... it's all about the journey. Who you meet, what you learn and the things you see and experience.
Don't rush it, and i like your attitude, Don't slap a label on YOU prematurely. It may harm you more than help you.
March to your own drum. and enjoy the ride. Stay in your day and LIVE in the moment. And as Oprah says " Live your best life, everyday!!!"
It has been said that IF you don't know where you are going, maybe you should sit right where you are until you figure it out.
Lao Tse says " That we can do great things by just doing nothing."

always pay attention to signs around you. Your future will come, just don't hasten it too quickly. Enjoy your youth, because once it's gone, its gone.
I'd like that 30th floor loft overlooking the mountains too. But it would have to be in Downtown Montreal or maybe Calgary or Vancouver.
It would be nice to have enough money to afford to WORK in that 30th floor loft overlooking the mountains, and never HAVE to go into an office ever...
becoming happy where you are, getting to know the real you, learning to love yourself, and being comfortable in your own skin, are the Most Important lessons you should learn before you go into the world. That will save you from the judgements and pettiness of the world.
peace,

way with the posting. by the way, whats with the 30th flooor?!? expensive much?!?! and is that asian built or northamerican made buildings? cause you know the chinese, them crazy folk (me being one of them) like to omit ALL the 4's so technically its more the 26th floor. if its an asian/NAmerican build they may omit the 13th floor. so thus placing you at floor 25! yay for illogical rodney!! *claps hands*
