The Cycles Of Cycles

Wow, watching the season finale of House, a show I do not catch regularly, put things into perspective. In the midst of reluctantly closing another chapter in my life and moving on, I seem to find myself in the cycle of...cycles. Over the years in my young adulthood I have become less and less religious. The traditional routines of church going and praying regularly have been replaced with a Joel Osteen audio book every once in a while, but to the contrary, my faith remains.

This brings me to House. As far as I know I do not have any illness. I sometimes receive the comments regarding my thin stature though I'm not sure its an issue of health. Nonetheless, I have decided to make a concerted effort to gain a 'healthier' build. I've mentioned before that I do not 'enjoy' food. I do not have an eating disorder, it is just my appetite comes and even sooner goes.

In my effort to improve every aspect of my life in order for full enjoyment, I begin to ponder every aspect of the future. Since health is the topic at the moment, it is difficult to fathom being in the position of the families and friends of patients in the program House, or for that matter, myself in the hospital bed preparing farewells. Nothing I wish to look forward to.

As the cynical House looks up to the heavens after a 'miracle' it brings me to think of the cold single life that lay ahead. House, witty and great in re-diagnosing errors with his dry-erase board, is also a cold and lonely individual. I don't want to end up as such.

I believe 24 is old enough. I will soon be moving into the diverse midtown area plush with university students and a thriving creative scene. I can walk to the festivals and concerts, walk to the best Atlanta has to offer, and walk. I'm sure there is something out there for myself, to get involved in the community is the premiere step and I am well along my way with volunteer/writing opportunities. I'm already there in a sense.

There are numerous events I shall be attending solo, and that's just fine. Screen On The Green is a free in the park movie festival showing classics all month at sunset and then there is the Fox Summer Film Festival. Among about a dozen or so newer films, there will be a showing of Pan's Labyrinth and a double feature of The Departed and Goodfellas. I will definitely be in attendance at both!

The Bird And The Bee is all the indie music I have to offer at the moment. Still enjoying all that is already discovered. And re-discovering Van Hunt.

I miss you guys!
