It's beginning to get colder as it get's closer to Halloween. I don't mind the cold to be honest, it gives the excuses to stay inside as well as wear a multitude of sweaters and blankets as I sip hot chocolate. Fall I feel is the perfect blend of both Summer and Winter. I never like either Summer or Winter in such a way as I did Fall. Summer was too hot and too focused on going to the overly crowded beach or with Winter, where in New Jersey, it snows 12 feet of snow every few days wasn't exactly ideal. It's fun the first time it happens, but it loses it's enjoyment when it occurs for the 8th damn time. My favorite part of Fall though is the atmosphere, kinda like spring with it rains. Either when I run in the morning or when I walk to my friends house, I just enjoyed to take a moment to take in the scenery as I go through my small town. The changing color of the leaves, the decorated houses, or the grey sky hovering above, I just love it immensely.
Not much happen this week. I mostly kept my nose to the grindstone and just worked. I wish I could quit my job not because it's bad, but because it's just mindless work. Though I feel that in any job, I just feel I could be using my time doing way more aptitude things. Like writing, or making youtube videos, hell, finding a girlfriend would be nice too, but you cant force those things. Love is a tricky subject and one to go about carefully. You cant force it no matter how much you try. It has to come almost naturally as if you stumbled upon the love of your life and it has happen to me a couple of times with less then ideal results. There was this one where we stumbled upon each other on the campus bus and to me at least, it was magic. It was as if someone clicked a light switch and lit up a dark room. She was magical and amazing and the saddest part was that she was already taken.
I was not always good at talking with girls, but I have gotten better. It's just in this day and age, it sucks because everything is done online. Nothing feels real anymore, like take tinder for example, your basically advertising yourself to other people by listing your skills or what you like and dislike as if people who like The Office is really the true defining way to find someone to spend the rest of your life with. People like me, who want to stray away from the grasp of the internet, get lost in the shuffle of things. So here I am sitting behind my desk as the leaves change outside my window, alone, but not lost in the shuffle. This has been the Weekly Blog, thanks for reading. Ricardo signing off.
