Way up high in a phallic tower You’re swimming in a tiny galaxy of stars June 18, 2010
some of the things you recognize when you take a break from the zombie walk — how extraordinary it is to drive from downtown austin to round rock, and how mesmerizing party culture is in the developed world, take that to a hyper extreme, and you have austin — i’m glad to have participated, now i plan to observe now and then, but with really no intent to participate. no hard feelings for the way of life, i’m not hating’ it, i don’t feel i’m getting old — just stepped back and realized, 10 years ago i’d struggle against the grain to fit in places i don’t belong, or fit in b/c it was the cool thing to do — now i have comfortable niches, if they’re not available, i usually have the patience for them to materialize.
seeing grinding on the dance floor in the developed world, and the grinding of the gears of governance in the undeveloped world have allowed me to find my own balance and footing, free from a lot of the physical and mental toxins that used to bind me to something that didn’t feel natural.
i love this place, austin. i feel clear, calm, collected — i plan to write predictions for the next 1, 3, and 5 years here in the near future.
i feel that life has allowed me to re-invent myself for perspective’s sake –
