I'm not sure if the title is fitting to my mood, but I guess that's how my body feels.
My half-brother, Shannon, and his two kids, Aaron and Kayla, came down to visit this weekend. It was good times, I suppose. I haven't seen them in 2 years so it was good to see them. The two kids have grown so much since last time I saw. (Aaron - 9; Kayla - 4). They're at that ripe age of innocense. The good years where nothing matters - carefree and bold. I truly hope all their days bring them both growth and joy.
You know how sometimes life twists things and morphs things into fate's path? Can you ever see it sometimes? The work of its hands? I think I can; I think I have. "Things don't always work out the way you plan"; but I'm ok with that. I can see the design taking shape. There is no end, no completion. Just forks in the road. It's interesting if you take a seat and watch it carefully without trying to interrupt it. People are seeing their desires more clearly. Clearly enough to move away from prior choices. Have fun on your road to life. Break a leg!
I wonder what it would be like if I stopped being analytical or stopped trying to foresee so many things. (if philosophy wasn't my prospect). Would I be like one of the carefree girls that wears all the Abercrombie and Fitch or American Eagle clothes? Gives in to temptation... goes with the flow... conforms to a popular way of life? I don't know. I don't care to really think of it, but I do think it would be interesting to imagine.
I want to see a good movie. Not a regular one, but something mind-boggling like Fight Club, 21 Grams, Requeim For A Dream, PI ... something like that. I still have yet to finish Donnie Darko and want to see so much more and read so many more books. Mr. Chuck Palahnuik (sp?). is on my list for authors? Anyone have any books I could borrow?
I dont have time to write more.
Lyric for the day:
