It seems like a year ago that I sat down and typed a post. I'm sure I could say that it was the countless hours spent on hundreds of emails to potential interviewers or any other excuses. But, the simple fact is that I haven't felt that burning inkling to write about anything (at least nothing on my blog).
But, today as I'm waiting for my digital storytelling class to start, I find myself navigating to my blog and to that blank text box. Even the keyboards, all soiled and shiny, beckon me on.
What's new?
Everything and Nothing?
The major one is that I've slowly started eating meat again. After 2 months of being a loyal vegetarian...I've resorted back to my old ways. Not that there is any difficulties (at least nothing major) in being one, but I think the reasons we're all wrong.
I care about animals. Some would call me a hypocrite for consuming them. And all I could say is that I am. It's sad, but I am. I love animals, but I still eat them. The mentality is skewed. Trust me, no one knows it more than me. It really has nothing to do with free will or lack of restraint, but more to the reasons behind it. I think vegetarians and vegans are truly committed people. It's not easy to always be different. To stand up for what you believe and live your life on the basis of that principle. I salute them.
Unfortunately, I do not join the ranks. Maybe in the future I will be ready to shift. Maybe principle not motions will drive me.
As for the newsroom. It's great. stressful, but wonderful at the same time. I have my own desk, phone, and folders. You know you've hit it big when you have all three. There's something motivating about the newsroom that makes all the stressful, doubtful days spent before worth it.
I've also moved to another room (7th floor). It's still new so I'm still getting the hang of everything. Luckily, I got some good friends on the same floor. So I'm thinking that I'm up for some very fun and interesting moments (like watching Mulan with some potato salad and ketchup popcorn).
Today as I was walking to the L train, the wind was blowing. The feeling was so wonderful. The music on my ipod was rich and soulful. I even put my hand out to touch the wind. It felt so good to feel so carefree. To see the beauty of it all.
Life is good for the most part. If we can't enjoy our own lives...who will?
