i´m pretty much saying that, dude - i have the goldenest of things right in front of me, which has 2 effects: it makes me pretty detached from everything else, since nothing has the same magnitude; and also gives me fuel for a SHITLOAD of revisionism. that´s what i meant about putting things in perspective, since i´ve made big deals of (what i now realixe is) petty shit in the past, and now i really do have a big deal going on.
you know that i absolutely agree about being aware and willing to embrace, absorb and experience what life brings forward. be it as it may, i only share that optimism you mention because these new developments are making me see a lot of shit in a different light, and i am slowly seeing more and more things that will bring, if not "happy" moments, at least a very interesting period in life. and that´s as good a thing to look forward to as i´ve had in a while.
i´ll hitch a ride in your analogy and say that life is indeed a painting, and we all have times of stepping back to see the whole frame and times to close on up and admire the details. i´ve been going back and forth on those mindsets a lot lately.
yea i know about your blog, i was just fucking with ya. and yea, i do call you Charlie Brown, but truth be told, i was always willing to lend you broad and manly shoulders to cry on (even if only to mess with you about later). but i do read both parts of your blog, even if i don´t have the tech repertoire to keep up with the geekness.
you were always willing to lend me your broad and not so manly fat ass!
I guess it's a good thing you're philosophizing over it now, cause when the little shit hits the proverbial fan, you probably wont have time or concentration to do it. I really wish I could be there to lend a hand with whatever, though I figure there will be plenty of opportunities for diaper changing.
One of the complaints I've heard the most is that it just goes by too fast and you miss the opportunities to live (or at least to notice) many of those great moments you had imagined. I wonder what sort of effect something like this would have on naturally nostalgic guys such as ourselves... Or perhaps it would be better to wonder what sort of effects something like this would have on guys such as ourselves, whose notions of "great moments" aren't really standard...
Well, I take it partially back: the first football game experience is pretty standard, and I know you'll go fucking batshit crazy over it.
