Bridge Drive

Driving back into the city this evening I was taken by how beautiful the clouds encompassed the city with breaks of setting sun rays coming through.
Thousands of people cross the bridge to get back in the city or through the city to some other destination, but how many actually take a look at the city, water, skyline, setting sun, etc. Then think, man I am really lucky to be seeing this and it's never going to be quite the same. Or do they just zone out to their music, phones or being angry about how there's so much traffic because of the rain.
I never seem to have to tell myself to enjoy this moment...

Painting

As I was paining my new apartment today. I was touching up the trim that a friend had nicely helped with and struggled with the thoughts of being upset that they did a okay job. They didn't want to tape which is a pain to do but really speeds up the process of painting around the trim, beams and window. It makes the rolling process quicker because you can come close to trim without worrying about touching it. As well as helping keep the paint off the trim and such. On the other hand they spent one of their days off helping me paint without me asking them for it, which i am really greatful for.
What I struggled with was can I hold someone else to the same standards that I expect of myself? (Espacially someone helping me without pay) I am laid back and easy going in a lot of other aspects of my life, but paining is one of those things that is calming and I take pride in.

Hello World

I have thought of keeping a journal lately, but have been holding back because of the thought that someone might get a hold of it and read it. So I have never done it for that fact. While looking at a video from my cousins blog it hit me... Why not put it all out there for who ever to read... Anyone.

It feels strangely safer then leaving a personal book around for someone close to me to pick up and then take my random thought about them, myself and the world the wrong way.

I am not even going to pretend that I am remotely close to the millionth person to come up with this Revelation. I am just going to run with it and see where it takes me.

Wish me luck. Ahh hell, just wish me happy writing ;P
