It's silly, and more than a little sappy, but every time I pack away something, I feel like it's a little piece of my life as it stands being sealed - or perhaps <span style="font-style: italic;">entombed</span>. Packing away my BBA t-shirt is, a little ridiculously, the most difficult thing I've done in a long time. Wait until I get to packing away my underwear; never again will those tiny garments be worn out into SoCal air. It almost brings a tear to my eye.<br /><br />I think I'm struggling with this because packing is, while productive and necessary, tacit acknowledgment that this best of years is over. I don't know why I've associated clothes with memories - each garment reminds me of something I did or someone I know - but the link is there, it is real, and it is emotionally trying.<br /><br />My first suitcase is full now, but I can't gather the gumption to close the latch.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9183911756492526703-7257456854184011728?l=deframer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Desmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06045657887930821628noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183911756492526703.post-19039313795102773642009-01-03T22:02:00.000-08:002009-01-03T22:11:25.992-08:00Little to celebrate in the beginning of a blog: it is generally insignificant; subjectively a-historical and; often, lexical masturbation.<br /><br />On that latter description well - everyone does it, but there should hardly be a fanfare every time you finish a bout, right?<br /><br />So here it is.<br /><br />A blog.<br /><br />The word is odd:<br /><br />Blog.<br /><br />Satisfying to say, more so to partake in. It rings of ages, the writing of experience - neatly summarized in a mono-syllabic package for this impatient century.<br /><br />Blog.<br /><br />Blog.
