pshh, more like. .. life translucent

Definitions of translucent on the Web:

- Descriptive of a material or substance capable of transmitting some light, but not clear enough to be seen through.

- Allowing light to pass through, but not transparent.

- More or less transparent.

- Transmitting light but diffusing it enough to cause images to be blurred.

I can see how this blog has turned itself into my own personal gif library. I don't really write very much about what happens at all do I?

Maybe it's because nothing really happens?

Or nothing that needs transparency in order to exist? The people I know and the places I see are right where I need them to be, and I think there was a brief moment a while back where I needed to see it for myself, that things happened, that I was documenting the tiny and the gigantic parts of the life I was trying to glorify?

But maybe that's it, maybe I've come to terms with this need to glorify the minute and mundane details that might seem transparent, but really, it's just a very clever way of shaping a translucent image of what really is, and what is it? it's nothing monumental ... it's tiny battles and triumphs and music and friends and love and heartache and nights spent watching the olympics with your parents, it's driving on unknown streets with soulmates, dressing up to go dancing, watching your dog sleep and folding clothes and thinking too much. it's all of that.

emo much?
no, but I just felt like posting more letters than images this time.
