Well, I guess I will kick this blog in the face because, hot damn I miss you guys.
I guess the big news of my life is that my parents accepted an offer on the house on Elm. So pending bank approval, that house will no longer have any ties to me. As weird as it seems, I'm not too broken up about it. I haven't considered that house home in a very long time. This is a discussions we have had time and time again, at least I have had it with a few of you.
You make home with people, not with places. Sure, you can decorate your temporary homes. I most certainly do, I believe in the present and making a home because that's what you need. But people are homes that you can carry with you and people can always be a beacon, a home base to seek solace and comfort in. The same cannot be said of place. You all are my home, wherever that may be.
In other news, this week is CARNIVAL! It's my last one, so it's fitting that it's the 100th anniversary of Carnival. I have been slaving away, painting booth until the wee hours of the morning, putting off work, and damn near killing myself. But such is life here. It's exhilarating and crushing all at the same time.
Recently, I went to a concert. I saw the Pigpen Theatre Co. whom I have mentioned before. But man they are a bunch of goofy CMU alums that started a theater company, which is amazing. They are so good live.
So here some music from them:
And then, here's this other guy I recently saw in concert. His name is Douglas Fur and his genre of music is "abrasive dark banjo punk."
Ahh you are graduating soon! Are you excited? ALSO when are you coming back to Chicago, I miss your face.
ReplyDelete(I'd say more but we text fairly often, so)
CMU seems to have fit you so well in terms of the... unique people it tends to attract. That was a compliment! I promise!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes... do you have plans to return upon us?
The weridos go to CMU. I understand. haha
DeleteAnd I want very much to return to you, but I don't know when or how.
