DAILY DOSE: "Everything Good Needs Replacing."
It’s a positively beautiful day in the City of Champions-- one of those weird winter days where it wants to be dark and dreary all around you, but the vaguest hints of sunlight and spring breeze get you thinking of all the good you’re missing. Then you look up, and the sky is blue for the first time in a month, and the clouds are white and whispy, making a scene just happy enough to make you forget your troubles. Until you look back the ground, and realize it’s still wet and cold. These are my favourite days. Not the wholly beautiful ones that make you want to run through a meadow, but the ones that are nothing more than hope in the cold. A glimpse of the spring to come.
These are the days I love. Especially when I feel just like them. I feel like everything within ten feet of me is cold and wet. Lonely, listless, and lifeless. Yet I feel stupid for feeling this way, because up, up, up, up there is a blue blue sky full of whispy clouds. I’ve got an amazing family, incredible friends, a bright enough future, and it’s been a good week, to boot. Monday, my group won acquittal for a scumbag in my mock trial. Also, at said mock trial, a US Attorney told me that my opening statement was “downright poetic.” The videogame I bought Danny has been basically beaten, and is my new crack. I’m three chapters into ‘Watchmen’ and it may just become life-altering. I’m pretty certain Sprout and I walloped the Envi. Crimes final yesterday, and I’m less than 72 hours away from being finished with my semester. Life as a whole is solid. It’s just that first ten feet that feel empty.
The problem is, I think I think that those first ten feet are the most important.
Anyway, enough of that. My apologies for being MIA this week, but it IS finals. I’ll probably be back today and this weekend, so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy your Song of the Day, “Satellite” by Dave Matthews Band (you know, back when they were GOOD.) It popped up on the WinAmp this morning, and seemed to fit. So let’s roll with it.
And extra apologies, for I seem to be Linkless at the moment. My internet time has been low of late. Someone out there with a good Link, hook a brotha’ up, will ya!
Until next time, find the sun and take a look.
