HAPPENINGS

8:30pm: I moved Olive’s bike, I moved Walker’s bike, I saw my bike: dusty and forgotten. I pulled it out, filled the tires with air, strapped my little JBL speaker to the back and road off into the neighborhood. Dark AF. I figured my eyes would get used to it, but they didn’t really. Regardless, it felt GREAT. The air was cool-ish, the houses were silent, and the music was good. Jim Croce’s “Moving On Down the Highway” felt appropriate, and timely on the shuffle.

I was watching a James Popsys video earlier, and he said the following: “I want to take pictures about things, not of things.” I understand the sentiment, and realized that I am the opposite, mostly taking pictures of things. I don’t know how I feel about it exactly, but it’s worth exploring. I find myself mostly looking for a beautiful thing and trying to melt it into a perfect blur.

Anyway, grow your kid into the tallest tree.
