i won’t say that i have found a balance in my life just yet, but i’m getting there. i feel it in my bones.

sometimes i’ll just be sitting at the computer reading great writing or in a car on a ride home listening to jay chow and i’ll think to myself that all is right with the world. it is a great sense of contentment this feeling is, when i can just look out of a window and not worry about the problems on my shoulders.

the feeling comes and goes often and i guess it’s pure luck that i happen to have it when i write this.

today as i was driving to work, there was a car accident on the main street that i was taking. the corolla’s side was totalled. i didn’t think about this accident again until later on tonight when my friends were playing some random racing arcade game at rush. it made me wonder if people who play gran turismo actually think that they can drive the exact same way on the real road. i see way too many people trying out their drifting skills (or lack thereof) on the wet, wet pavement as in games like battle gear. it makes me so mad. just the other month a friend of a friend of mine was street-racing at five in the morning of grad night against this orange beetle that was more or less egging him on. this friend of a friend ended up wrapping his car around a tree in a fatal accident.

i want to hunt down all of these need for speed creeps and give them a stern motherly talking-to.

ok, so perhaps i haven’t found my chi yet. but whatever the wave of calmness was at the beginning of this post… it was good while it lasted.
