What is a blog, anyway?
I don’t really know about this whole blog business anyway. It’s part of the new technology world that I’m sneaking up on sideways. when I was 20, my friends and I reinvented everything. We made up a whole new way of speaking english, adjusted love and marriage to fit our own needs, redefined learning and schooling, and made up community the way we thought it should be. We rewrote the rules. A brilliant new world that had never existed before. Except that as I get older, I realize that actually all those things did exist, we just had to figure them out for ourselves and make them our own in order to really believe in them. I’m pretty sure my intention in writing this blog is to distract myself for another half hour before I go read some book Khaela wanted me to read, I apologize if you thought it might be insightful. Catch me in June for the smart ideas.
The other day it was warm, and there was a sunset. As I was walking downtown with a friend, we spied friends across the street, playing 4-square. Street games at dusk!! It was suddenly quintessential summer, sweet freedom, to abandon plans and bounce a ball around in a parking lot. To meet new people and visit with friends from all over. I remembered the lulling calm of relaxed evenings. I fell in love with my town again.

I really don’t think that I can wait till June for all of Ambers good ideas. My aim is to be in the right place and right time when they come to the surface.

I personally need to re-own everything. I do not yet accept very basic things like having a job because I do not fully own this yet. I do own some things though, like humor and pleasure, the pleasure of the warmer than expected afternoon that is perpetually pregnant with the about-to-rain, I’ve been there and want to own it. I’m trying to get into a rent to own program, slowly. I hope it works. If things are this good this early what happens to the flowers and everything when the sun stops? What do I do? I am like the little flower who blooms in the February summer. I think I often have a re-believe/energize around this time of the year when things just start to re-emerge in a small way that I can just experience and believe.. But now so much so fast. What will we do later?? Sydney claims to be fueled my clouds and drained by sun. I am trying to comprehend the possibilities without the RGA modualation pixilation, or worse yet, complete refusual to load disk.
