Summer Blues

I've got a serious case of the summertime blues, and I'm not enjoying it. I think its just the speed at which life flies by that scares me. Who knows. All i know is that having multiple versions of the song "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" is a good thing.

No Remedy for Nostalgia

Lately I've been captivated by the idea of the past. The finale of one of my favorite shows "Scrubs" triggered more thought about my past, my present and my future. I have this desire to relive my earlier moments whether glorious or mundane. Nostalgia is that unscratchable itch. Actually I would consider it more of a tickle. The reason being that even though I'm keen on scratching it, there is some form of pleasure I get by it being present, regardless of the fact that I can't actualize my nostalgic desires. My guts are wrapped up and convulsing in this dream of being where i have been so that i can be who i have been. I feel like I take solace in my past so as not to live in fear of my future. But change will always beat nostalgia. The old will pass and the current will be and the new will come. Who knows? Being nostalgic maybe the worst thing you can do with your time, but as for me I think I'll be just fine dreaming for yesterday and praying for tomorrow.

The Economics of People

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the past and how different I feel in my current state than then. Even though I am living in the same mind and body my feelings and perception seem to be that of a complete stranger. Memories seem like watching a movie of someone else doing the things I supposedly did. the only constant in all of these thoughts I could find though, is people. The people you are with can drastically affect your memory of an event or a non-event at that. Even though you feel different you as a plural unit feel the same, which is a comforting feeling.

I reckon all of this is just to say don't take for granted the people in your life currently, in the past, or who will be in the future. Invest in people, because the people economy isn't tanking and never will. the more you invest the more you earn and the more you diversify the greater your dividend.

May the Lord grant you peace and love,
