Ive been MIA for a while, Ive been extremely busy with a number of really good things for the most part. Last weekend was amazing. I got to hang out with my buddy Kirby and go to a show at AS220. We went to go see Roz Raskin Perform with her band "Roz Raskin and the Rice Cakes," I love them! while there we actually fell in love with one of the opening bands, Boston-based "You can be a Wesley." I read a review on them that described the band as "surf rock meets girl pop", I thought it was pretty accurate. I loved them so much I bought their vinyl, T-shirt and some posters from both bands :] I met some really amazing people, caught up with other just as amazing peeps as well as caught my eye on this gorgeous girl!! >.< ha ha
I worked the rest of my weekend..
Lately Ive been doing more reflecting than usual which makes it difficult to catch up with all my thoughts enough to write them all down in an organised way seeing as I have not kept up with my entries, but you'll get some jambalaya and enjoy it!
Yesterday I went to Newbury street out of impulse to go check out some clothing, cuz I am, I must admit, pretty materialistic to an extent. I realized it was more of a therapeutic exercise, run with me here, I just notice that I don't actually have to purchase anything, the mere idea of getting myself something makes me feel so much better on an off-day its like an Independence and security test, that I have the option to if I really felt like it. I actually did not buy anything special. I bought two books, one on Nietzsche and the other a book on Freudian concepts, not the average purchase, but I'm very proud on investing more on expansion of knowledge.
Ive been wanting to read psychoanalytic theory for a while now, I'm very interested in the unconscious as well as dreams and the overall development and make up of the mind. I remembered that interest in a used books store called "The Raven" on Newbury, it just opened at this location three weeks ago! and so looked for and purchased the two. I read a good amount on my bus ride back and was learning about the unconscious mental life and about the origins of motivation. Its really interesting and I plan to teach myself a lot more of his and other material throughout the summer as well as take a class some time in the near future on the subject.
as far as poetry month, I decided not to participate because it touches a soft spot that Id rather not be a part of, I will get back into writing shortly, but not now.
School is well, almost over! scary.
this summer I will be busy! (THANK JESUS!)
I was very intimidated by the summer because of situations that have somewhat improved that were originally threatening my state of mind come that time, but like I said they have improved.
I didn't know what I would occupy my time with, since I did not want this to be like every other year; working two or three jobs wishing I had more of a purpose.
Its not! I will actually be interning at Youth Pride Inc, working on, participating in and planning its annual hike! as well as working two jobs but thats besides the point! I'm a work freak, that will never change.
I did not know who I would spend my free time with, I had lost a lot of connections with people that used to be very important to me, I have reconnected with a few, but best of all I have made many new connections with amazing people that I am confident will stick around. Life is good.
Love you all. :] <3
