I Walk a Fine Line Between the Right and the Real

Thought of the day:  'The obsession of posting one's every thought on a status website, blog, or facebook'. An interesting and possibly controversial thought to share with the web/technological community, so here I go. Why do we document our every move and thought? Is it because we crave human interaction, in any shape or form? Do we crave the love of attention or how about how many 'likes' or 'comments' we receive on a random day? Stalking walls, pictures, statuses and friendships...For the untainted web community (ages 40+)  these thresholds are used strictly to keep in touch with those who are far away (but even then, doesn’t one still obsess over other peoples lives, checking up too often?). But alas, we are all guilty victims of this cyclical conundrum. Since when was it okay to live for other people's business and not one’s own? Life isn't about honing in on what this person said via message, or what that person did last night on Greek Row that is publicized by pictorial evidence (WHICH IS ALWAYS an amusing and engulfing topic). I know this blog is the Mecca hypocrite to this thought of the day, but its purpose is more than voicing my thoughts publically for all to read. This blog is therapeutic to me (and IT has been for A LOT OF YOU as well who are now inspired to go experience life beyond the normal routine because of my writings). This blog is a part of my 2011 road to revival. Too long have I lived for others, and too long have I faded into the background of my own existence. Life, definition, to exist externally and internally, I repeat externally and INTERNALLY. This blog is the constant reminder to live internally everyday, because if I didn’t, I would have nothing to show for it to myself. I post this blog on facebook in hopes that it will liberate any who feel the way I do, trapped and having difficulty piecing together what is missing. For me, its adventures and interactions I lack. In essence, instead of stressing over these portals and the people on them, stress over what you won’t be able to finish in one day that will transfer over to the next.

Note to self: I do best when working alone and in the quiet.

If I can't concentrate on writing, I listen to two songs only. One by Iron and Wine and one by DMB (for the DMB junkies you’ll know what this means:  .09.09.05). Then I begin.

Galvanized wine- wine made in tanks, not in barrels. Opinion tonight to come... OPINION: the bottle shown below was very tasty. Thank you Sarah for being allergic to oak, or else I would not have tried this.

Sarah macconnell is one of the most wonderful friends I have. Whoever says married people are not fun, are retarded.

Dunkin Donuts egg white flatbread sandwiches are crack.

Heat is a precious commodity and no one should go without it.

It’s been nice not having cable and internet; it sets the mind and soul free.

Aderol gets shit done.

I have a strong like for ellipses in writings. I feel like I can hear personality through them.

It makes me really proud that I have read every single book that’s on my bookshelves, a part from Aesop’s fables, but that book I bought for a different reason and I will blog about it later.

Declaration: for anyone who tries to make a career out of art, you should be commended. It’s harder to use your creativity at most hours of the day then it is to work a routined 9 to 5.

**Challenge: For those who are bored: do something that involves stimulation of the brain. Write, draw,     BLOG, paint, decorate, take pictures, make music. Do something to call your own.

This is for the people who have soul flowing through their veins, try Freddie King. He’s my favorite musician of all time. When things get bad or I’m parading around my room with a beer in my hand whilst in my underwear with a Cheshire cat grin, He amplifies the parading, the weightless mood, and the smile x10.

**Next, try a play list consisting of John Butler Trio and Dave Matthews. This play list is for your days tangled up in your sheets or on Sundays with the sun warming your skin. Only live DMB songs because lets face it, whoever has been to a DMB concert knows there is no comparison between his live music and his studio albums. The play list should start with the song Nowhere man-JBT followed by Stolen Away on 55th and 3rd- Dmb. Cortez the Killer (Dmb live at Central Park) and Groovin Slowly- JTB should be included in this set.

I live below drag queens. It’s going to be an interesting semester/summer. Maybe they can teach me a thing or two about inner beauty. More to come of that saga.

It was 11:50am when i started, and I finished this at 2; I have been up since 7am because of excitement and a head full of thoughts.

---1. MOVED DOWNTOWN. Well guys, the first of the list has been checked off. I moved downtown, and not just downtown, but I moved with my best friend/ big sister. You know you hear about how living with your closest friend can ruin a friendship, but I don’t think that’ the case with us. It may be bumpy, but we communicate, and we are comfortable with silence and alone time. Just as much as I like to seclude myself into my room, she does too. It’s about boundaries with a splash of give and take. I’m excited for the +/- 2 year adventure together and whatever it may bring, Big.
