Memories from Wednesday:
1. Had a production meeting with my company. And I had a nice moment with one of my closest friends who was sad about missing their significant other. I'm usually not great and comforting people but I nailed being the sympathetic friend here.
2. I got my motherfuckin car back!
3. I took a really nice picture of my dog Sparky.
Today was a great day! I woke up ready to get back to work with a kind of energy I hadn't had in a long time. The whole day was breezy and easy going. The park wasn't crowded at all everything just glided. I was excited to see my best friend Nate who just moved back from Asheville NC. We caught up, over food drank some beer and so fourth. Its great with really close friends where you can not only talk about anything but you're never really sure where the conversation might go. For us I shared many of my random presidential facts and we got into a discussion about all the ranked lists that categorized the presidents from best to worst and wondered how Ulysses S Grant managed to smoke 20 cigars a day.
Later on when I was helping him unpack in his apartment we started talking about conspiracy theories, then true crime stories and satanic cults and we were just like two little asshole kids telling ghost stories. We started to scare each other . Thakfully his lady walked in the door like our mom 'what did I tell you boys about telling ghost stories?'
The whole day was like some excerpt from a Hemingway story, like the bit in The Sun Also Rises where Jake and his buddy are hanging out in the forest. This calm little period in an existence that largely feels like a painful shit storm. Well my life isn't that bad...but the only downside in reconnecting with my friends is there's always that feeling I have that I'm just going in circles because I feel like I repeat the same dialogue with my friends about success and self worth and my usual pitfalls. Will I be in the same position this time next year? Only time will tell...
