simpler times.

i remember being young, and life was seemingly simple. hot summer days filled with creek forts, cousin wars, and iced cold coca cola classic. life was good. i recall running barefoot on the hot bluegrass and gravel roads... not a care in the world, i had youth on my side. i loved the landscape of my childhood. only few will ever have the pleasure of experiencing and ruling over fresh cut grass, corn rows, and acres of pasture. The summer days were painted golden from the hot kentucky sun and the nights were painted orange and sometimes even pink, as the sun set on lone valley. we (me and my cousins) dominated the commune until dusk dominated us, and even dusk couldn't hold us. we would then embark upon other options such as mario, qbert, and legends of zelda. honestly, life couldn't have been sweeter. sometimes i catch myself daydreaming of these days past and realize life was more than good... life was great. i've come to understand and appreciate the true beauty in simplicity. we kept it simple. we loved the land, we loved community, and specifically, we loved each other. and today on this hot summer night in the 30th year of my life, i find myself longing for that same magical simplicity. some things never change.

wow. it's nearly been a year since i've visited this place. needless to say, it reeks of neglect. i'm not making any promises, but i'm hoping to give this space more time and attention. at this point, that's not setting the target too high.

when blogging becomes a good idea.

and now for the million dollar question? why am 'I' blogging? at this time i do not have a concrete answer. but then do i really need one? in all honesty i just felt somewhat inspired on this late, balmy, rainy, august night. i'm inspired to share little tid- bits with those i love and those i may not, as of now. but here's to loving more, sharing more, and entertaining this strange technologic medium of blogging. life is so boss.
