I just got back from a wedding in Destin. It was quaint, not refreshing, yet very satisfying. I pretty much drank too much, spent too much, and didn't sleep enough. Meanwhile the world is busying around me while I struggle to maintain proper social posture and behavior. How difficult it is! To pretend to be something you're not around those who expect you to be something they are, all the while watching in disbelief while your friends are manipulating and being manipulative while the crowd cheers on. Weddings. I think I'd rather elope.
I've come to realize that the more money you make, the more you indebt yourself to the machine. The problem isn't the machine, it's the peer pressure of fitting in materialistically and "the machine" is merely the means to an end. This is why I am leaving all my credit cards at home from now on and boycotting gas. Wait a tick... that's not going to work.
I might be moving to Washington D.C. for a year. I'm awaiting the company memorandum. This should be interesting. And expensive.
The family wants to come visit next month. Oh boy...
