Nicely Odd...

It is currently 11:00pm and on January 13th 2005, in east central PA it is a steamy 65 degrees Fahrenheit. There is something inherently wrong and oddly eerie being a bit too warm, outside, with jeans and a t-shirt this time of night, this time in the year. The rain is also somewhat odd, only because it feels like a warm spring night, with the spring shower coming through. I love the sound of rain on a tin roof, if there were any tin roofs around, I would definitely be sitting near it just listening to the rain beat down on it. Actually, I rather enjoy an evening such as this, warm, rainy, though it might seem some what melancholy, I find evenings like this soulfully refreshing.

While I was outside taking out the trash, I went to move my car, while enroute, I was walking down this nice little quaint brick alleyway beside Stouch Tavern. There was rain running down the front of the sidewalk, and it just hit me, sensory overload. The sound of the rain, the feeling of it hitting my skin, seeing the water rush, in its water like ways, down the side of the street. It was just odd, I hadn't really taken the time, or been able to really enjoy something like that for a while. It reminded me of a conversation I once had though, about being deaf or blind, and what you would miss if to be either one. It's such a difficult question, so many factors are invovled. But, I didn't want my mind to run off, so, I cut it short, and just was thankful for having all my senses and being blessed enough to be able to enjoy it all. It, however, makes me sad, no one medium of art can express an entire experience such as I just had, many can come close, but... Sometimes, description of any kind, can do no justice.

I'm also going to approach my entries in a slightly different manner from here on out. I used this blog, as more of a personal journal that all could read, and I shouldn't have really done that, people were invovled involuntarily, and they shouldn't have been, though, I may have had good intentions, somethings should have been keep private which weren't. So, going forward, only people that I know, because they have told me, they don't mind being mentioned here, will be mentioned. I will also, try, to keep the insightfulness of past entries, while, keeping the privacy of myself and others that I should have been keeping all along.

Secondly, I'm going to be posting a lot more external links that I find interesting, some may be somewhat invovled, but, I hope all of you can find something interesting in the links that I will try to continue to put up here. So... Enjoy.
