1.) ...visited an ill grandparent in the hospital...
2.) ...witnessed two drivers lay relentlessly on their horns in a seemingly endless struggle to determine which of them was more self-righteously moronic...
3.) ...read and responded to what I found to be a thoughtful on-line posting regarding the nature of God (or, if you prefer, "god")...
4.) ...watched fans at Wrigley Field taunt their own player, Milton Bradley, for forgetting the number of outs in a particular inning and looking a bit foolish because of it... ("Way to go, Minnesota Twins!," by the way)...
5.) ...sat quietly for a few minutes, listening to the silence...
6.) ...worried about various things...
7.) ...decided to just let a few other things go...
8.) ...contemplated the idea of reading a novel this evening...
9.) ...contemplated the idea of heading out to the pub this evening...
10.) ...heard what I consider to be the worst popular song in at least the last several years, "Birthday Sex," blaring from a nearby stereo...
11.) ...wondered where I'm headed in the next few years, in a metaphorical sense...
12.) ...wondered where we're all headed in the next few years, in a metaphorical sense...
13.) ...walked by a display reading "Flowers," which sat empty of both flowers and people, and wondered whether that was a good cultural indicator or a bad one, or both...
14.) ...watched the Western World's reliance on oil play out, as always, in a rote and consistent manner...
15.) ...thought to myself, 'What a logical, nonsensical, normal, weird, wonderful, awful, funny, sad, content, desperate, meaningful, superficial world this is.' I'm glad to be a part of it, even on those occasions when I struggle mightily making my way in it. That, at least, I know for sure.
