(no subject)
my life at home is routine. sure, there are occasional deviations from the established pattern, but on the whole i do the same things in a slightly different way
every
single
day.
what is a boy to do?
--somehow i avoid boredom, for the most part
there are a few tricks of the trade which allow me to defamiliarize this monotony...
but there is never any escaping the fact that Norton is isolated... and boring... i mean, i love my home, but i'm just ready to be somewhere else... doing something more...
but i don't realistically have anything to complain about. there are many aspects of routine that i do enjoy. i take better care of my body overall and there is very little downtime when i'm just sitting around. i try and stay on the move as much here as i do at school, but here i keep myself busy by managing my affairs, going to work, going to the gym, doing housework, and balancing my social interests.
----however,
i am in a good mood at the moment.
on this day, the sun has a specific shining
which evokes
a wonderful emotion in me.
i think of my plans for the evening, for the week, for the summer
and at once
i am no longer disheartened.
life is an inevitable condition, as unfortunate as that may be,
but maybe life if art too.
i wouldn't want my art to be without pain, pleasure, darkness, light--
i want a bit of everything.
so... today, i think i'll focus on cardio at the gym. i'll probably try and tan tomorrow after i'm done going to the doctor and running some errands. (going to the doctor will be nice too, b/c... being the hypochondriac that i am, i would rather have a doctor tell me if i'm healthy or not. that way i'll know and i can stop worrying for a bit. cross your fingers for me. hopefully there isn't anything too terribly wrong with me...)
--also, i watched match point last night. on the whole, i found the narrative to be rather slow in development and the "twist" was neither surprising nor satisfying. and honestly, i'm not really happy with the way things turned out. i guess that's the point of the movie though:
life takes hard work, but in the end all that matters is luck.
...then again, i've never subscribed to that philosophy...
maybe somewhere in the desert
chance and destiny sit
sharing their last few sips
of precious dew
maybe together
they are waiting out the last days
enjoying solely,
and most importantly,
the company
of one another
...maybe life is a little bit of both
chance
and destiny.
every
single
day.
