okay, so…this is it. this is it? this is a blog? hmm, i was expecting something else. isn’t that always the case. anyways, here i am. entering the world of blogging. it took me a while, but for some reason i felt compelled to finally create one today. probably because i have so much going on inside my head, and this is an easy way to get it out. so, i hope you are prepared for a sampling of what it is like to be me.
i had the day off today, so i took the liberty of sleeping in. i finally got out of bed at around 10 or 11 and started searching the internet, for who knows what. at 11:30 i decided that i was hungry enough to go outside and search for food. i walked to this place nearby, the 2nd cup cafe, and got a ham egg n cheese on a sesame bagel. its always a little weird to pay for one of those sandwiches when i work at a bagel shop and could have probably walked another 5 minutes and got one for free. but i wanted to sit and read my book somewhere quiet and comfy, and my work is neither of those. the chapter i read was called the secret to happiness. the book im reading is called the art of power, it was written by a buddhist and it is about having the power to be happy in the present moment regardless of the circumstances. so obviously this was an important chapter. after finishing reading, i sipped down the rest of my tea and went to the superette on the corner. basically just a corner store with candy and magazines and all the junk you’d expect them to have. i bought some hot cocoa powder because i like to have a mug of hot cocoa before bed. i also bought some frankincense scented incense. i thought, if it is good enough for baby jesus, its good enough for me. i also thought that frankincense incense is pretty redundant. then back to the apartment.
after searching the internet some more and playing my guitar a bit, and lighting my frankincense, my roommate john woke up – at around 2:30 – and we went to harvard square. we went to flat patties but i didn’t eat anything since i had already had the bagel sandwich, then we went to peet’s. at peet’s i had a peppermint hot chocolate, it was pretty good. i also suckered myself into buying the 6 dollar bag of chocolate covered cherries for the third time. they are quite delicious, but the bag is also quite small. after that we came back home.
john and i hung around in my room for a bit, then he had to leave for work. after this josh woke up and i informed him that our pup charles had bit through his internet cable. josh then informed charles that he was a bad boy and he showered and left for his 30th birthday party. i had already hung out with him on his actual birthday and i have to work tomorrow morning at 6:30 so we agreed i should just stay home.
after some more aimless internet searching i convinced myself to start typing these words that you are reading right now. and that leads us to this very point in time.
quite an uneventful day, ill get in bed soon so im not a zombie tomorrow morning. the chapter in my book was good, but sometimes i think that i need to finish the book, then read it all over again so that the concepts will stick. one thing i’ve taken from it is that i should be mindful in all that i do. this seems like a simple concept but its not as easy as it sounds. i’m talking about down to every step that you take and every letter that you type on the keyboard. well, not it really is time for me to get in bed. and with that i have step foot into the world of blogging.
