here have some summer
Sorry I keep skipping out of your lives like some sort of whiskey-soaked deadbeat dad, but important shit was going down in the month of May. Most of it involved bureaucratic authoritarianism and/or plate tectonics, so I will not torture you with a play-by-play.
A few days into summer and I am slowly readjusting my pace. That is to say, I am quickly slowing my pace. I think sometimes the hardest thing for me to do in this life is to let go of the prescriptions laid out by the example of my parents. Hard work and responsibility, mixed together with a dash of modest living, will suit you just fine. And while certainly I take no issue with any of the above, more and more I question my ability to slog away for hours upon hours in an office doing boring work that has neither direct impact on nor direct benefit for me.
And anyway, who’s to say that working on the mystery of why those drunk Mexicans congregate in the parking lot of the abandoned wholesale grocer is not an adequate use of my time? Certainly not me…
