well...here's a second attempt. the only thing I don't like about computers is there ability to suddenly do something for no reason. and it usually manages to do this while you're in the midst of something creative, or maybe even profound. but i found a fail safe...notepad. there's nothing like cut and paste, it keeps these posts from just suddenly disappearing into thin air. that sucks.
but what I was saying before was that I just spent the whole weekend (second one in a row in fact) in the mountains which is a great idea if you get the chance. especially when you get to do it with friends, close friends. Its a pretty amazing feeling to be on top of a mountain at a resort, outside in the crystal clear air, in a hot tub with the people that you care about most. it's hard not to let those moments slip past, and its hard not to get caught up in all the of the horrible things that take place in this world at the very moment that you are enjoying to such an extent. it's a bit overwhelming, but at the same time you have to wonder that it's not in fact the moment that is so special, but the ability to realize that you are in fact in the moment just then.
So, it's once again back to the grindstone for another working week, which I hope to have evaporate here in the near future. The notion of working for five days, then getting a break is a good one, it allows for the great weekend getaway. but I may strive to stray from the notion, it's too rigid, to have the freedom of never having to know what day it is...that would be truly great.
