Things change quickly, and you’d be surprised how quickly you can get caught in a moment of revelation. Today I witnessed my brother Ray show affection for someone else, but in a manner unlike one I’ve seen before. He’s had partners in the past but this one is different. They feed off each others knowledge, debate scholarly topics, and genuinely enjoy each others company. #Goals, but that’s besides the point. It made me realize something about the progress of time. Things move along as they should, and you won’t realize a thing until a major figure of your childhood and/or pastime comes across a sudden and drastic change. For me it’s seeing my brother with his potential future wife. It made me cherish the little stuff, like the laughs and dialogue we had over dinner… (yea that’s right I used an ellipses, sue me). But seeing those two put a smile on my face because I know, for a fact, that they are going to embark on an incredible journey together, it’s the beginning of a new and exciting chapter in their lives.
We had a lovely dinner with a newly engaged couple (yea, I third wheeled them pretty hard on this double date). I got a fabulous stuffed calamari, I’m still dueling from the taste of it. Prior, we went around the city, got some quality Bostonian food, a lobster roll and clam Also, we went to a comic store, I jammed on the Ukulele for a bit and looked at some vinyl. It’d be cool to collect vinyl, petty expensive, but cool. I may consider it, but ugh… my current fiscal status.
I’d definitely say today’s excursions improved my virtues in some way. I don’t know how, but I’ve been given some major insight on the progress of time and our understanding of it. It feels weird writing this blog post, almost as if it’s the first one of true meaning. One that I’ll look back at, 5, 10, even 15 years from now. I feel as though I’m doing pretty well with these posts and I’d like to talk about some observations and changes in myself that I’ve seen since I’ve started making the posts.
For one, I’m much more adventurous and willing to go on excursions. Secondly, I’ve been sleeping less, I guess my body wants to go out their and do more things, but that’s definitely given me more time to write these posts. Thirdly and most importantly, I’ve become much more observative. Whilst walking around the city I look around more, behind me, up towards the tall buildings, below me. Even indoors. I’m looking for something but I don’t know what. I wonder if I will ever know what it is I’m looking for, and I’d be completely fine with never finding out…
Today’s song is Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band.
Today’s photo was taken at Faneuil hall through a skyscraper at a gray sky. I bumped up the contrast and got this really nice display of natural geometry. I’m a big fan of the photo.
