*yawn* I swear, why does waking up in the mornings have to be so difficult for me? I'm lucky i have a job where i can lie and say i worked late last night, so i came in late but shit... i have a habitual problem of oversleeping. The fact that i stayed up late last night talking to people in SGchat probably doesnt help, but whatever. I'm such a night owl, it feels wrong to go to bed before at least 2am.
Anyways. so i was thinking this morning on my drive here how strange the casual relationships we make with people are, and how i simply can't stand that fake ass chit chat people try to have with you. Why are people in general so afraid to commit to something more than talking about the weather. If i wanted to talk about the weather, i'd call up my grandma (she rules, btw). It's like this, I dont try to have a conversation with someone i meet on the street or stand next to on an elevator just cause they're standing there and i feel obligated. And if I'm trying to have a conversation with you, it's for damn sure something more important that the weather. I think people should "take a risk" and try to talk about something a little deeper, or just dont say anything at all.
On another note, I think everyone that lives in Oregon should be forced to go live in another city for a certain period of time, because i dont think alot of people here realize what they've got. It's all very fresh and new to me since i'm a recent immigrant, but holy fuck this place kicks ass! I've never been in a city that has so many health conscious, proactive, politically involved, and yet completely individual people. I swear, everyone i meet has a cause, or is working towards something important, and it's really inspirational to me. There is NO racism up here, or none that i've experienced, and that is such an amazing thing considering i came from an area with major race issues. Here's where i talk about the weather, and the scenery, but i'm not just shit talking so it's okay, but fuck the weather up here is a-ma-zing. And i know people get caught up in their lives, but do you ever stop and realize that you can see two mountains from the city, and just think about how great that is? Take a breather for a minute, stop what you're doing, fuck the ideas about work or life you have in your head, and appreceiate the scenery, and your life in general.
I went bike riding yesterday as i normally do when i get off work and i saw an older homeless man smiling and enjoying the sun amidst a large mass of people who are "conventionally" 10394824093 times better off than he is, yet i wonder when they last time it was that they smiled for a reason other than a pay raise, or that extra cup of starbucks coffee.
Motto for the Day: Live below your means, dont get caught up in this consumer based bullshit, and take a moment to realize how good things are, and how great your life is.
