wake up
last night i slept for a lifetime... 5:30 at night until 9:00 in the morning. just thinking about that much sleep is making me not want to sleep for the next five days. now that it is night again, i am watching the full(?) moon rise over the detroit cityscape. it is electric. the sun setting and the moon rising on a very productive day. my back hurts, which is awesome, because it is an indicator of how hard i have worked today. i feel enlightened on not only the history of the city, but also the people fueling the future of the city, after tonight.
detroit is strange... when you tell people in other places that you are from michigan (especially detroit) they look at you and say 'ooohh.. i'm sorry.' and when you tell people here you are new to detroit they look at you and say '...what the hell are you doing here??' like, you have to encourage other people to love this city and you have to earn the respect of people who already love this city. it really makes me work hard. i am learning to love it. i love it.
