i met mr. mitchum today.

"I once listened to an Indian on television
say that God was in the wind and the water,
and I wondered at how beautiful that was
because it meant you could swim in Him or
have Him brush your face in a breeze."

I felt it today.

I had to get out of the house.
I tried to bring a camera,
but it wasn't working.
it was probably for the best anyways,
it would've been impossible
to capture all the beauty I saw today.
i learned so much about what made me feel.


ruston is where it's at.

school just isn't the same.

there was once an idea that i'd keep a journal on a daily basis,
along with adding lots of productive hobbies to my life.
i've now abandoned all hope
of that ever coming to fruition on a regular basis,
and while i should probably be upset that
i can't consistently hold up
to the ideas i have for the betterment of myself,
i've learned to shrug it off.

i just saw a commercial for Monopoly without cash.
They use debit cards.
what is the world coming to?
it's changes like this that make me a packrat,
saving as much from my childhood as possible.
i want my kids to work puzzles and play cards and board games and catch...
to become creative and sharp and fun the old fashioned way.



life up until this week has been pretty easy going in retrospect.
sometimes, i don't know what i get myself into.
