Walking Backwards

I need to be that pretentious person seen sitting in a cafe, hunched over their moleskin and recording their observations of the world. I need to be this person because, despite being struck by motivation multiple times over the course of the day, I sit at the computer in front of this exact screen in the evening and cannot remember what I was going to say for the life of me.

So today, since I didn't have a moleskin to record and develop ideas, I tried to keep a running tally of subjects that I pondered or thought were funny over the course of the day. This is by no means a complete list.

- I find the fact that I give directions to my regular coffee shop in relation to a strip club quite amusing. Especially because Everyone knows where I am talking about.

- I need to find a new coffee shop to study at because this one attracts the wrong clientèle. I think it might be the location (you know, behind the strip club) because, while it isn't good for quiet contemplation, it is great for people watching

- Quitting smoking is hard, even years and years later. It is especially hard when other people around you are enjoying that sweet, sweet carcinogenic air

- YouTube can never, ever go away

- I need to seek out some new podcasts. I am almost through all of the free episodes of "This American Life" and old episodes of "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me" aren't as funny with the information is not contemporary

- I will go to extraordinary lengths to justify not doing my homework. The excuse has to be reasonable and feasible, though, at least to me

- I need to start bringing my camera with me where ever I go. I want to document more, but I always forget the damn thing.

- I am also thinking of switching back to film for awhile

- I really do not enjoy the heat here, but I am truly thankful that we still can get shaved ice this late into the year

- I really want a snow cone
