The 1st Wonder

I'm creating this blog because I often have random thoughts at random times that I would either like to share with someone, or, simply put on paper as if not to forgot my ingenious thinking forever.

Anything goes here; from a song lyric or a movie scene I can't get out of my head, to blowing off frustration about how bad the Nuggets sucked yesterday and what I'd to to fix it, or maybe a list of my top microbrews or how hot the girl I just saw Entourage was (and how Taylor preferred the Asian, obviously.)

Hopefully I'll actually post stuff semi-regularly, seeing as I am unemployed and have nothing more to do right now that take advantage of Boulder in the summer (which seem to be filling my days quite nicely.)

So check back once in a while or even throw down a little comment if you wanna get crazy.


Wandering vs. Wondering
To me, the same word. One is used to describe a something physically. e.g. He is wandering. This is what I might do on a random tuesday afternoon after class. Ride my bike around with no real destination or goal in mind. I also do this when I'm drunk. Leave a bar without telling any of my friends and walk around in a drunken stumble, "wondering" about other things.
There is the difference, wOndering is mental. You philosophically wonder about things in your head or wonder about the future or why peanut butter and nutella sammy is so damn good when you're high.
I do a lot of wandering and wondering in my life, and I seem to enjoy when I do it. I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but it is a trait im proud to attach to myself for some reason.

I'm starting to feel like my writing is getting a little dry and too professional. I wanna write something that I think would make you laugh out loud but also make you think.
I remember in Catcher in the Rye when Holden is talking about books and he says something to the effect of--You know a good book when you think you's be friends with the author; like you would just love to sit down and bullshit with him for an hour.

Hopefully, there will be many more wonderings to come. And they'll be somewhat interesting. For those who have lived with me know I log more than a couple internet hours a day so I figure I might as well be jotting some ideas down than just wasting more time looking up maple syrup on wikipedia or reading blu-ray vs. HDDVD articles or collecting my ever growing list of must-have music.

Speaking of which, I'll leave you on a musical note. Ive been getting into Bright Eyes lately, on my dads suggestion (as much of my music comes from,) and am obessessed with two songs from them: Lover I Don't Have to Love and Easy Lucky Free. Check em out if you can. More on music next post.

Enough computer time, I'm gonna go crack a Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar and watch the latest Sopranos on my newly acquired HD imported from Seth. Thanks, brah.
