subtle fading echoes
Yes, it seems I took yet another lengthy hiatus. I have. It’s not like there’s been nothing significant under way, it’s just that I haven’t had the words to make it presentable in any sort of moderately entertaining fashion. That’s not to say this will be entertaining; this will be quite lengthy and boring. I hope you brought your Walkman.
It’s rather funny how things can turn around completely in the blink of an eye. That’s not to say I’ve been blindsided by it all; in fact I’ve been expecting it for a while. But I suppose the harsh reality is something that takes all those magic chemicals buzzing around in your brain and just shakes them the hell up.
So I’m sitting here with foobar on shuffle, with Everything But The Girl’s biggest hit “Missing” somehow stumbled upon, looking out to the darkened skyline towards the city only to see the countless backyard lights and peaks of bare trees. Winter really is cold. I love that dark blue tint and frozen stillness about the terrain; as if everything is caught in one silent flashbulb of a moment. The other night as I was pulling out of my driveway; my headlights were hitting the snow on the ground in such a way that it was lighting up alternating rows of glittering snowflakes. It was rather beautiful. I need to notice these things more often.
And of course there are other things. I’m being fairly straightforward in those efforts. I don’t really see any way that’s less effective or preferable. What you see is what you get. Ask me a question, and I’m going to answer it. I may go off on mildly humorous tangents, but you will know exactly what the real deal is somewhere in that convoluted mess. I guess I’m easy? Not that kind of easy, perv.
You can be dense and deep at the same time, right?
