the hodgepodge.

random observations from an exhausted adcenter student on a wednesday afternoon:

1. today i watched a man in jeans and a white t-shirt dance with the spirit of three hundred drummers. he waltzed and moved next to the bus stop across from the adcenter. i couldn't help but think that music can transform any situation. any life. any second. a bunch of people stared at him from the second floor of this building. but i bet none of them had the guts to go join him.

2. i ate teriyaki chicken from the thai cabin for lunch. i'll admit, i tend to travel the same routes around this building. coffee? to shockoe. sandwich? to southern railway. pizza? jo jos. same old streets for the same old addictions. so today i got food from a cart - for the first time since i've been calling this place my home again. i think i never thought the food could be good. call it my internal barrier. because the other places i frequent are such gourmet beacons. right. stupid assumptions.

3. i've been at my new apartment for a month now. and, in that time, my contact with my parents has dwindled to almost nothing. not because i don't want to talk to them. but i guess it's because i'm busy. or because there's family drama working it's way through. i wonder how often i avoid issues because it's easier to not drive farther down the street to say hi.

4. i'm being watched right now. by rebecca. she wants eternal glory in the blog space. i told her it won't happen. because clearly by not saying her last name, she joins the 129,093,423,498,483,290 of rebeccas in the world. so, joke's on her. ha.

5. i probably need to shower.

6. i can't wait for the fire throwing people on friday night.
