The Universe

Why is it sometimes I just feel so at peace? I have college in thirteen days...I should be freaking out. But here I am - sitting in the threatre room with my feet up - iPod playlist "PARTY" blasting through the surround-sound, clouds covering the blue summer sky, and a nice breeze tickling me through the many open windows.

Today I got a lot done, because of this odd zen I've had all day - posting and updating in 95% of the places that demanded my attention. There are a few stories I need to update still, but those take more concentration and a lot of time...though they are my plan for later tonight after dinner and digestion/television. I'm not sure why some days I can sit down at the computer and not want to get anything done, while other days I just enjoy it. Last night - while I was writing that last post about staying up late, I was working on that epic image...and honestly I did nothing all while making that picture. I should have been posting and updating places, but I just kept working on that damn image. Maybe that's what is making me oddly Zen? My Photoshop block is broken, and it feels good. I'm now looking through dA stock images for more ideas.

I can smell dinner in the other room, feel my mildly moist hair drying on my neck, and I'm just...content. It's nice to be content. After a week at the Cabin, it is nice to see I'm capable of pulling off mental homeostasis without the need of being in a beautiful cabin in the woods with the best people on Earth. I'd probably be more content there...but alas. I'll make due with what I've got. I've got here, I've got family, and I've got myself. Friends are busy at the moment.

As my dad says - enjoy every second of life, because you never get that second back.
