A little bit of catch up
Of course when a little bit of catch up comes to late, there's not much catch up at all.
So. Moving somewhere else. Different, very different. I thought in someways I would be prepared because I have been away from home for long periods of time. But it's really weird to feel at home, get in the car, drive down the street and be in the middle of Hollywood. I feel like I went through a teleport or something. It's like wait, is this the same Hollywood? Did it get closer to home? Why is it right here? Why are all these things that have only been a recreational journey now at my finger tips? Of course the cool thing about that perspective is that it feels like just that. For me, our place has been so awesome, my job has been so awesome and things have been so surreal that it feels like I'm on a really long weekend trip to LA. Which is cool, I'm down to live my life in this mode, that is looking forward to it ninety-eight percent of the time mode...
Of course a lot of this I have to contribute to my job, and I think it's my final curve around the bend of coming home to architecture. See I've gone back and forth on architecture for years, dreaming about it, staring at it, thinking about it, and then I'll go try it in the real world and time and time again get discouraged and pushed away. But the thing is, I can never stop thinking about buildings and spaces, I'm obsessed with them. It makes me giddy. Looking at buildings is like more fun than eating chocolate. So I always come right back around. And this time it's different. This time I've learned enough that my dreams have gone in different new avenues, and reality has finally climbed high enough that I am beginning to actually equate reality with my dreams. And it's so awesome. I love it. I love architecture, and I'm so glad that after twenty-six years I'm ready for it more than ever.
Back to Hollywood. I have to admit though that now that it's been about 23 days I do know that I want to eventually go back to Goleta, I mean that was our plan. Well it still is our plan, it never stopped, I just have been given a little more affirmation. I definitely want to live in LA now and enjoy what it has to offer, and probably live somewhere else along the way, but always end up back in Goleta. One of our biggest goals in life is to buy a sweet cozy home in Goleta, and no matter what happens with the real estate market, I'm never giving up.
