ok, i did have a post for yesterday, just a little late...
all right, well friday night was very slow and i simply had to get out of the house so i walked around a little park near our apartment and came back and wrote this:

time... time is a helpful concept in general, helping us set goals and be able to break down life into portions providing time for rest and time for work. on the other hand, time serves as an excuse for putting things off, for living in the future or the past. 2 hours becomes 2 days, which become 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years, 20 years... mind you, i only accept "carpe diem" to a certain extend, i am generally not fatalistic, but rather miss the passion of living every moment as if it were my last. once again, to practice this would be dangerous, however the feeling of humility at the same time as capability is very refreshing. while walking through the park tonight, i observed a girl, all bundled up in the cold, playing trumpet. it was around 22:30, and odd to see, but it made me wonder "why?". it could be as simple as those living with her or near her would not tolerate the volume. but, then again, it could be more complex, maybe the trumpet at this hour is nostalgic, tying her back to something far away. or, she may work from 8 to 20 hours or 6 to 22 hours and be winding down after work. or, maybe it is her dream and goal to learn to play the trumpet and she wants to spend all the time she can training up. i just seem to see a lesson here, of passion; we must not let ourselves get too wrapped up in time, otherwise a day working in front of a computer becomes a lifetime, and when we die, we have to ask ourselves "what have i accomplished?" however, it's ever so hard to be so determined, to have enough energy and persistence.
well. that's it for now, i'll probably update later on tonight to try to make up for yesterday's lack of posting. it was a nicely slow day, we cleaned the home, and then went to watch "babel" which was very engaging and over all very good. afterwards, i made some chili and rice, and in the evening we went to a really fancy bar that makes drinks from scratch, fresh squeezed rather than mixes, called "sun liquor". great bartender, eric, as well, really focuses on personal touch, satisfaction and connection with the customers. i must say that that is what makes expensive drinks indeed worth their value.
