Oh what a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

The sun hung warm today as if I hadn’t seen it in monthes. It wasn’t that I hadn’t seen it or that it had gotten lost in the long winter days, it was the simple fact that I had forgotten to notice it. While getting caught up in some busy life I could barely call my own I forgot what it felt like to feel real. The more I began to ignore it, the more I increased my chances of it hitting harder once all realizations of reality had set in. Going weeks cutting my mind and body off from feeding on any emotion might have finally taken it’s toll. I should have guessed when these feelings went numb that they’d eventually find a way to unthaw themselves. .I suppose somethings happen at the most unlikely times. .It was such a beautiful day out. What started as a walk, ended on a bench with a notebook in hand letting everything somehow sink in. Nothing in my life these past three weeks has felt real. But this day, this sun, that breeze, these people were all so intoxicatenly REAL. If there was someway to hold this all in my arms and embrace it, I would.

i hear you on that last sentence.

marie.
thank. you. you, yourself, have a way with words. it's beautiful--the way one can be so overwhelmingly taken aback by the warmth and caress of the sun--a feeling exhausted by everyday routines. let's step back for a moment then and relish, raising our glasses to bravo the senses. best of wishes as far as the internship goes; Epitaph would do well to have you on board, i'm sure. keep me updated if you hear anything [on CONVERGE] once you're IN in.
thats great
Hey thanx for leavin' me a note. I love the top left pic!?!?!? Is that you? Hmmm... well talk to you later.

I can relate. Here in the Pacific Northwest, seasonal affected disorder, or '"Fuck, I hate rain." syndrome,' as I tend to call it, is an annual thing (though admittedly, this year has been uncommonly nice... minus the occasional freak storm and blackout). We too, are getting a preview of spring weather, and morale seems to be improved just about everywhere.
