Here I am, back after a long hiatus! I apologize for the lack of blog entries for the last month... I've been working, uninspired, and otherwise occupied. It feels like eons since I was in Europe, and I miss it more than is humanly possible. Even though it seemed like work and was so exhausting at times, the monotony of everyday life is even more so. I'd love to be away again, even if it's just in a lakeside cabin with good food, friends, and some old-fashioned partying. It's summer.
This week begins the Calgary Stampede! People have started rampaging the store where I work for plaid, denim, and cowboy hats. It's nice to come home after a full day of hard work and have a rest, because I know I'll be back at it soon enough (for example, tomorrow morning. Work, eat, rest, sleep, work)... I've begun an obsession with crossword puzzles (usually I try to fit them in at work). I'm trying to keep afloat with all this activity, as well as get in some quality runs and time to myself. I haven't even been writing or photographing (both of which I hope to catch up with soon).
Last night I watched Donnie Darko (647th time for me.. probably) and I got this wonderful, reassuring feeling from it. I think I've accepted fully that it's true, every human being on this earth dies alone, and I'm not afraid. What if the world were empty? We live our lives so entertwined.. But what else is there for us? I've been questioning my existence lately and as always, am experiencing several existential revelations. Watching Donnie Darko helps.
It's one of those hot summer nights where I'd love nothing better than to fall asleep under the stars. I don't know where my life has gone, how is it already July? What's next? I want to keep this month the same, live it a couple times before I'm ready to let it go. I don't want my summer to disappear. Come, friends, and we'll go live in a cabin by the lake, days in the sunshine and summer neverending.
