today was a great day. i finally finished my project at work (more or less). this brought a wonderful closure to a rather turbulent set of days. and the weather was nice, too.
i ran into the neighbor tonight that helped me out when i got mugged. it's really interesting to meet somebody completely outside the scope of life and hear them pour out disjoint glimpses into their lives. not that he was being overtly open or discussing his personal problems, but i learned a lot. something makes me feel happy when i get to hear a story or find out how someone spends their day.
and i recieved my bonus check, which broke into the triple digits and made me happy (i can buy two video games, not one, if i want). most likely i'll just end up saving it until after the craze of the season. i loathe following the herd, especially when consumption is involved. there's so much useless stuff! we could all do without it.
i've decided that this weekend i'm going to try and organize my living space. it feels like a routine. there are tons of miscellaneous papers and such that need to be filed and i'm aching to actually throw things away as society seeks to acquire more things.
am i ever going to outgrow rebellion? do i want to?
slowly drifting towards this thing called satisfaction. it's a really nice feeling.

You sound rather content in this entry, and I like it.
