Prepare the Buckets

I feel like I need to make a public service announcement. I feel like my head is going to explode. Everybody in the area, please prepare yourselves for an outfalling of little bits of mu skull, brain and other various and sundry bits. Please collect everything you find in a bucket and send it to me. In time, I'm sure they'll be able to piece my brain back together.

I have so much going on. So many events and campaigns I am coordinating. Like a piece of rubber, I am being stretched so far in so many different directions. But I love it. I'm getting so much done, I am making changes. I am doing so much good for so many people.

I am so busy that I feel like my head is going to explode. But I would not have it any other way.

Stay tuned for more stories of this average life.

The Simplest Thing

I was in a bad mood. It happens to all of us at some point in time. I lost my bus pass and missed my bus. The bus I ended up getting on broke down. I had a million things to do. So much on my mind, so much stress. I honestly felt as though I was going to cry.

The funny thing is that it only takes something incredibly simple to change my entire mood. A song I love comes up on Pandora or I see a particularly attractive guy. An attractive gay man on my bus holding a banana, perhaps. Or I look outside and am suddenly amazed by how the sun glints off the hills in the distance. It really does not take too much to do it.

How could it be that something so simple just changes my entire mood? There are so many complex emotions swirling in my head, so many thoughts and feelings. But then, the simplest thing can change all that. Like everything else, emotions are so fleeting. Always changing.

Thoughts intrigue me. Feelings, emotions. Machines. Nature. People. I am the one who could spend hours in a park or on campus incredibly content just sitting on a bench, people watching.

I have so much to learn and to absorb. There is so much to do. I'm a sponge. And I just want to soak it all in.

I sha'n't be gone long. - You come too.
