having a moment
Mar. 16th, 2003 03:50 pmSo, here I am, sitting at one of the higher vantage points at one of the bunker forts along Marin Headlands, looking about all of the San Francisco bay, commenting on the moment in my LJ. I don't know if I'm showing off, or just taking advantage of an introspective moment, when one would normally want to comment in their journal, with the only difference being that I'm tapping into a computer device instead of placing pen to paper. I think a decade ago, the validity of such written introspection would be question given the use of such a manufactured medium.
But given that it's 2003, and people are more worried about gas hitting $3.00 statewide, an impending war that no one is really sure how many people really want or don't want due to the bias of most opinion-surveying outlets, and the fear that most people will lose their job soon, I think I can rest easy about not getting too much guff about lj-ournaling choice du jour. :-)
I was in Sausalito, chatting with one of my litebrite commrades about the party I want to throw (Paradigm Shift) and getting very encouraging feedback. I think people are a lot more open to change than I had anticipated, which is good. I think part of the problem I've been having with laying out the plans for this is that I was afraid no one would want to engage something so different. Hopefully I'l be proven wrong as I go ahead and write up the script for this event. It's rather ambitious, but I need to do this . I need to start the next stage of my life somehow, which among other things, means taking more control of any goings on. Anyone want to make bets on just how hard on my ass I'll fall? C'mon, you know you want to, don't lie:-)
It would be nice to work on my own. I'm imagining myself working from a laptop up here, making beatz and remixes and any other multimedia nonsense. Yeah, that what I should have been doing by 26, but it appears outside factors have swayed the winds of my life into other ocean currents. (pardon the use of oceanic analogies, I am staring at the oceanv you know)
I had this game plan that I was supposedly going to put to use as a progress in my audio career. I had given up on it, but looking around here, with the ocean, the golden gate, and my beloved metropolis to my right, and and the rolling green pastures of the headlands to my left that remind me of a trqain ride from Cork to Dublin...
..It's weird, suddenly I think everything is going to be ok.
Should I? Or should I question the moment because everything looks like where it's supposed to be now, but the second I blink, the floor will break below me?
Or should I shut up and just enjoy the wonderful double-feature picture show?
Mmm. wild licorish plant :-)
