September 4, 2000 - Silence


Ever go through an entire day without talking to a single person, but not feel at all lonely? Well, I can't claim that I wasn't around people at times. In fact, I visited a few malls today, and actually said thank you to a clerk or two, but you get the point.

But what I didn't do was have a single meaningful conversation. I regret this. In fact, I'm even thinking of calling some friends.. but it's late/early on a Sunday.. and so, the day will have passed without any valuable human interactions of any sort. Blah..

SO... As it turns out, a few good things occurred today. I had a successful workout, Clemens pitched a steller game (only for it to result in a no-decision), and I beat a Grandmaster at the game of chess. It wasn't a regularly timed game, but it was my first victory over a GM. Go me. :)

My eyes seem to be taking to contacts, and today I discovered why this is a good thing.. because I can now successfully drive wearing sunglasses. I can also wear sunglasses wherever and whenever I want (even at night [c'mon you know the words]). It is true that I was once of the anti-sunglasses philosophy; however, it's natural for one's eyes to become less able to adjust to bright sunlight. Thus, I think the contacts (and sunglasses) are a keeper. :)

Are you bored yet? Goddamn - I sure would be after reading about my acceptance of contacts into my life. Geez. I'm gonna leave that - but don't hold it against me. Hmm.
Truth be told - I guess I'm a bit bored too. I feel like my life is just chugging along, and that I can see the track for miles ahead. I feel like I need something to derail me - like a giant passenger car that smashes into me at 400 mph. (Oops - just gave away the story behind a new Bruce Willis film).

Seriously, I'm in the doldrums and am longing for something crazy cool unusual. Sounds like its time for me to visit Tracey (who, if my memory is correct, should currently be in Boston starting up her PhD at MIT). Yay. A plan. Now I know what to do with my time after JournalCon. In fact, I think I'm going to take over the whole eastern seaboard - visiting friends in New York as well. Well, at least I have pleasant thoughts to fall asleep to.. as well as some tracks from 'Destiny's Child'. :) Night.
