It's been a while, huh?
I haven't blogged in a long time. I didn't really realize how hard it would be for me to keep up with this when school really started going into high gear. I fell behind on my posts, which continued to pile up beneath me, until I was so far behind that the whole thing felt pointless.
But I didn't want to give up. I worked too hard on this project to simply not follow through and see it all the way to its conclusion. So I came up with a plan. Most of October's posts are missing; this is the first post for the month of November. I'm going to count October as a "hiatus" while I fill in the November posts, and slowly but surely I'll start adding in October posts along the way whenever I have time. In addition, I'm making the poems an optional thing each day: if I'm feeling particularly inspired to write about something, I'll do it, but I don't think there will be a daily poem anymore.
For some reason, November felt like the perfect time to get back on track with this, and I've felt a resurgence of creative energy and drive when it comes to taking the pictures I want to take. I've got a good feeling about this.
Today was Dana's birthday dinner at Chili's. I had the most delicious hamburger and a sea of endless chips. Before we got to the restaurant I finally shaved my Octobeard, which, since we skipped October, you haven't seen any pictures of yet. Consider yourself lucky :p It felt great to finally get rid of that thing and reintegrate myself into civilized society.
Song: "The Show Goes On" by Lupe Fiasco. Hip/hop pop. Sampling Modest Mouse's hit song "Float On", this is a well constructed pop song with some great lines by Lupe in the rap verses. His flow never feels forced or awkward, and the beat is one of the best I've heard all year.
