The results of neglecting a blog are either A — you decide it’s not worth the trouble and it slowly fades into history or, B — your mind becomes FILLED with blog posts and it keeps you up at night until you write something. For me, it’s B. I’m now starting to see that it doesn’t really matter whether or not I enjoy it — it’s just something that I have to do. Since I’m out of practice the “flow” of this post may be a bit nonexistent. I am sure of this though, it will have a beginning, a middle and an ending.
Random thought: I think better at 170+ BPM. That would be heartbeats. I can’t listen to music when I run because it distracts me from thinking. Ideas flow freely at around 170 beats per minute, but rarely do I remember to write anything down when I’m finished. I think I’m okay with that. It’s kind of like my own private blog that only I get to read. Only once, considering I never write any of it down…
Random thought 2: (Always) Listen to Music. I was listening to a song today and immediately it was November of 2004, and I was on the square in Denton, with her. It was cold, and overcast. Today, the song reminds me of what it’s like to be in love. Every time I listen to John Mayer’s album Continuum it is 2006 and I am in downtown Dallas, sitting at a table outside of a Starbucks or driving early in the morning from Houston to Palacios, TX for a college fair. It’s not about the lyrics or the artist; For me, songs are just triggers for my memories. While I’m at it, Matchbox 20′s album Yourself or Someone Like You was my “Angry CD”. The last time I listened to it I was in college and went for a drive and almost ended up in Louisiana (I was mad at a girl). Word of wisdom: If you’re going to drive while you’re angry, only drive half the distance you think it will take to no longer be angry. That way, you’re at home (and not an hour away) when you finally calm down. Just sayin’…
There were at least 5 other random things I wanted/needed to write down but I can’t remember them now.
As promised, here is the ending.
