Wide Awake

Although I’m half asleep

I’m really tired right now, so don’t blame me if this post doesn’t make any sense, I am an impaired writer…because I didn’t sleep enough. Let’s just say that lying in bed until 2 in the afternoon, sometimes getting up to eat and walk for a few seconds around the house isn’t very productive.

Yesterday afternoon some company dropped off a massive piece of equipment at my neighbour’s house, which is the person who lives in front of my house. I wasn’t aware that she was doing construction or anything, and why the heck would she need a crane on that beautiful Thursday afternoon? Well turns out that she wanted all the trees around her house destroyed since they were doing damage to her roof. What started out as a beautiful haven is now a construction site, sand everywhere with pieces of trees here and there. I must say that at first I found the whole situation rather promising for an out of the ordinary picture, but even then, it’s just wrong. Anyways, what I’m trying to say is that the people who were in charge of the whole situation continued their work until late Friday night, being tonight. As a matter of fact I’m not even sure if they’re done. Still, this isn’t my point.

At around 4 I decided to head outside for a bit, to “meditate” on the deck near the pool. I found the temperature rather soothing; there were no bugs, the sun was hidden behind massive grey clouds, and the wind was blowing considerably. It’s an atmosphere you don’t find everyday, and I’m glad I took the time to set back a bit since life gets very hectic. Why the heck am I stating this anyway? Well what would a blog post be without a bit of complaining? Obviously the whole “deforestation” occurring in the neighbour’s yard was quite disrupting, to a point where I had enough and I decided to head inside. See the thing is this peace of land on which I live is my private oasis. There are no cars constantly passing by, no loud pedestrians, only the chirps of song birds and the wind between the branches. To have such a sudden change in my environment is like taking a fish out of water…although I’m not sure it applies. In the end what I’m trying to say is that you must cope with everything life throws at you…even these stupid things for which I’m blabbing about right now. Keep in mind that I’m tired…

You Found Me

Now I'm loosing myself in you...

I also realized something else today, how I have a brother who has lived with me for 13 years and I’m missing out on all the fun because I’m to stubborn to find something in common with him. Around the time of supper today I was sitting randomly in a chair in the downstairs living room when my brother came along. Yesterday night he made me watch an episode of Family Guy (for those of you who do not know what it is it’s a very popular TV show here in America that puts in context the defects of modern society) and let’s just say that after a while every single scene gets stuck into your head. I was there, downstairs, watching TV of course, because I don’t randomly sit in chairs…although I could, when my brother came along to talk about the funniest part of the show. He was quite hyper at that moment; although I tried to remain patient by telling him to please stop I just couldn’t help but laugh. I hadn’t laughed with my brother in a long time, and I’m actually sad I haven’t. He’s there, I’m there…what are we waiting for? For one of us to die and to look back at the past, wishing we had done more of our life? It’s not how I want it to end…but its life, unpredictable and confusing. Sometimes I wonder why this blog isn’t called “This is life” since I’m always making reference to the same quote. Some things are just meant to be.

Oh and I forgot to mention how I watched the footage of the first man on the moon today. The montage was actually very beautiful. Makes you think how it was more than putting a foot on a piece of rock, more like taking a step on another world.
