recommendations

death tolls and release dates. it's all a matter of perspective.

flags fly half mast all too often these days. walking down the street, some people smile, some people don't. some refuse to step aside out of courtesy, even if they're taking up the entire walkway standing side by side with their partner.

i was walking with a girl, complaining about the uncertainties of life. she did her best to console me. she said things like, "you're not alone," and, "it will work out." the usual consoling friend monologue, and she had some recommendations as to what i should do. other people also had ideas for me. everyone's ideas completely different, revealing each individuals unique conception of who i was in relationship to their world, but not mine.
