gravitation

I batted around with the idea of posting a blog. I'm new to this community and I was wondering - with all of the beauty around can I really say something that's meaningful and interesting? The me right now thinks, "fuck it, just speak".

I am the modern day Larry David incarnate. Bumbling, charismatic at times, charming even but with a single fatal flaw. You can count on me to provide you with the most awkward situations possible. You can't set me up better even if you tried. Regardless, that's the me that I've come to acknowledge as the only me. Which brings me to my second story. I was dating the same girl for five years. It's been two months since the "event". Before you begin to think this is going to be a boo hoo kind of thing, I'd like to think of this posting as more of a gentle goodbye. After all, we have beautiful ceremonious funerals when people die. Why is this any different? When someone important leaves your life it's like a death in the family. Sometimes unexpected and most often out of your control. I find myself, like so many before me, left with a yearning for that person back in my life. I reflect on what made her so special. At first I thought it was our adventurous camaraderie but now coming full circle to my Larry Davidness the most special thing about her was that she loved my bumbling awkwardness - embraced it even.

So with no further adieu as an artist and designer I assembled a final fair well.
