in the view of absolute ruin
and decades of abandon
all things new things seem cheap
everything old seems to weep.

so the out laws (in laws) left yesterday. they had a really cool visit. it was a whole lot of fun having them. i think we clicked a lot more. it was really good to get to know them better. they are great people.

we went to savannah. beautiful place. very old. strangely enough it feels historic without feeling haunted. which is a little disappointed may be i just didn't see the right areas though. we we're in very touristy walks. still, cool place. ate fried chicken and greens at a little hole in the wall. really amazing southern food.

went to family friends of there's. same place jane and i got married. had a great steak dinner. cold war stories ensued. which was awesome.

i used to get bored with that kind of stuff. gatherings used to make me want to chew off my arm to get away after a couple of hours. i was very content on listing to other people talk. i think i am growing up which has it's pros and cons. i have such an appreciation of hearing other peoples experiences now provided they are not forcing there opinion down my throat or petty stories.

i keep looking back on my old journal entry's and getting kinda depressed almost. i used to write everyday. i know that burned me out really bad and i'm getting better at posting. but i have been so lazy about it. i used to write really poetically as well. i know there's only so much of that anyone can take. and i like actually making sense and writing about what i've done but i really want to do that again. to write without having to write a whole short story. soon i will dish out the 25 bucks so i can get more journals.

been looking at really amazing photography of abandoned places. i've mentioned http://abandonedplaces.com in the past but it still is amazing. creepy poetic and just plain beautiful in a hard core industrial kind of way. this has also set in me a weird distorted mood. i haven't explored anything in a really long time. haven't been driving or stumbled upon anything truly momentous that has struck me down mentally and made me say "wow". this place is cool and all, and i'm sure it serves its purpose but i want adventure again. at least in the small way i had it.

i will stick to having a cool sense of security instead and be happy with that. as long as i have jane, my music and my health i will in general stay sane and happy. i can't ask for more without being greedy.

this is the point at which this....
