So many ideas in my head, so little time on my hands.

peace

In my youth, many summer days were spent at the library, and many summer nights were spent sleepless, a flashlight in my hands. Reading a good novel under my favorite blanket is still a way I can be at peace with myself.

If reading seems boring to you, well, then, your loss. And if it makes you “sleepy”, seriously, don’t talk to me.

I am usually the person you encounter at the beginning of the work week who comes in with a bad case of the Mondays, who responds “What’s so good about it?” to a friendly “Good morning”. But today was different because I spent my Sunday doing almost nothing.

And as I washed my car in the front yard on top of the driveway, I felt so incredibly at peace. Dogs barked, kids played silly made-up games, sirens blared and soon decended as the SAPD cars flew by. Someone played tejano music while they BBQ’d. I saw the neighbors building a swing-set across the street. I heard the annoying repetitive sounds of an ice cream truck and it’s unnecessary greeting: “Hello!” What the hell, right? But whatever.

Yes, I live in the hood. But I kinda like it that way.

Adulthood and doing something because it needs to be done not because you want to do it. Following through – it hurts like hell but oh well.

I’ve always had to be serious one. I’d like to play for the other team one day.

Maybe its nostalgia. Maybe its the change of scenery.

But I really love this city.

My plans are changing…

I’m making definite plans to move here. Eventually. I’ll give myself a two year deadline.
