The Tragic Sublimation of Release
There’s procrastination.
And there’s complete nua-ing and not doing _anything_
but lazing around and watching Starcraft replays and listening to old 90’s alternative records and random doodling off leftover Japanese recycled paper and sleeping off sleep and playing the ukulele and catching up on CSI episodes and thinking about stories that can never be written and working out a few design concepts and watching Clone Wars and writing lyrics to chords and diary bookkeeping and dreading the hot weather in general and…
You know, the tragic sublimation of release – is that time kinda shrivels up and slips between the soft cushy cushion covers of life and you try to find out where the remote control of life is just to channel surf but nothing comes out but the dead and uncomfortable space of veneered boringness and the name of a song you forgot last Tuesday and the chanced-upon deposit slip of Go Directly to Jail, Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200;

It’s been a crazy few weeks to get to this point, but the journey’s been a (bloody) good one. I’ve been reminiscing quite a bit of late, what with the whole “everything’s coming to an end” kinda situation. The fact that I’ve been bumping into a fair lot of people who’ve been, at some point, part of this whole experience… isn’t helping. I guess I’m an ol’ romantic at heart, and in the end, there’s a certain “poetic-ness” in meeting the people who’ve come my ways throughout these past 4 years…
I think I’ve grown up quite a bit during all of this
*waves vaguely towards footprints in snow*
And I think I’ve come out the better for it
*shrugs*
And I guess there’s still some distance to go,
but you know what?
Right now?
I’m just gonna sit down and enjoy the view for a while.
(I’d ask you to take a seat beside me; but it looks like you already have).
