Truth be told, I've never been to Rome. Give me the opportunity and I wouldn't pass on it, but that offer hasn't popped up on the radar quite yet. Nevertheless, while beating on with my boat against the current, I continue the search- and lately it feels like I'm searching for everything, yet again. Mainly for a job, but the infrastructure that goes along with ripping a plant out, roots and all, and waiting for the transplant to occur seamlessly in the new location.
"A Walk in the Woods" has been my early summer reading, and I swear that Bill Bryson has been subconsciously telling me to hike the Appalachian Trail. The 'keep going' mentality relates to me in a long-distance driving sense, something I'm very familiar with, except in a much more entertaining fashion. Plus there's no griz out here on the east coast, which makes me much more apt to do some solo backpacking excursions. Not to mention how cool/different the forests are around here....
"Ohh my gaawwwd, John Singah Saaawwwgent...." echoed through some of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts hallways, and less in others understandbly. I did correlate between supposed infidels first arriving in ancient rome and hearing the boarish language, and listening to massachusett's accents talk about art, but I really tried not to let it bother me. As with most things lately, these are things I just need to get more used to hearing, since one can't live in the woods forever. Plus they were enjoying it- which is better than no attendance at a museum i guess, but damn- this was not the most impressive museum i've been to. Wish I'd took a picture, but I seriously walked by a guy sleeping on a bench that was working there. Oh, and someone needs to teach these school groups the difference between a gymnasium and an art museum! I'm getting old- look at all this complaining i'm doing, jeez....
I once heard that time was cyclical, and I was interested in the concept and wrote about it, some time ago. I only bring it up because, looking back at what I wrote then seemed so premature compared to now. I guess in the future this will take the same position as that writing, because I suppose it's an ever-developing concept that becomes larger and larger as life goes on. That's the big point though, no matter what, life goes on. I guess i get a bigger definition of that the longer it does, if that makes any sense....
...and I keep playing the "Will it Float?" game, but in a more extended-metaphor fashion than a literal one, if that makes sense either....
Edit: I have to mention my friends in LA's new work, The Glorious Internet Presents.....Porn Star Insurance, featuring Ron Jeremy....hilarious...
