i've spent a lot of time looking down lately... just walking and thinking.
and, unfortunately, it hit me that the directional bias of my gaze has, as of recent, been serving as the physical manifestation for my mood. not necessarily the best epiphany to be having.
but, when it struck me, it caused me to stop walking... and look up.
and that's when i glanced upward today to see the empire state building catch the pink and gold-flamed twilight sun. among the other spires and ornaments, it stood stolidly in that proud moment, as if striving to be ever higher and reach the majestic pinnacle of its nature.
there are great things in this world. and behind them are great people who are driven and determined to make them a reality.
in that minute of pause, when the empire state building caught my eye, it shone brilliantly as an example of these facts.
and that gave me hope.

Romanticism as a reaction to cynicism:
Romanticism as a reaction to cynicism:
We are romantics not because we believe romanticism exists, but
because we've stopped believing it's possible.
It's a wish... not a reality.
And so, we become friends with disappointment. .

The South
Right now, im at this concert for a band, "drive by truckers." they're
all right. But what I'm suddenly noticing is that here in new York,
hicks have become so marginalized that they're niche. And with all
this hipster chic bullshit, it's actually cool now to be some down-
home redneck. As if that was ever admirable (at least in the
stereotypical sense of the word)

Just weird to see these supposedly liberal people openly adulate a way
of life that seems antithetical to their own. And a way of life that,
I bet if you pressed them out in the open about it, they'd deride in
an instant.
And let's set the record straight, I'm from Kansas city. I have a
pretty good idea when southerners are being sincere, or just playing
up their accents.
I don't know anything about these guys. This is just my first
impression.
Oddly enough, the music just got good.
