08/26/2009: Emails to myself

I'm going to try doing this exercise where I use my mobile device to send thoughts I have while commuting. I spend a good amount of my day traveling to and from work, appointments and what not, I figure I might as well use the time to update my blog.

Currently I'm on the bus ride home and I really appreciate that they are air conditioned. The DC area is known for being extremely hot in August. Its also humid. The time is currently 740 pm and the bus is full. I try to imagine what people are thinking as they commute home. Do they think about what their kids did that day? The remaining projects at work to accomplish? The direction of their personal and professional goals? Television? Dinner? Etc..

I wonder if some of them are thinking of healthcare reform. I'm sure that there must be at least one person in this bus is uninsured. The debate right now has been skewed beyond what the plan will try to accomplish.

Right now a baby is crying. I don't think I will have kids, but I'm slowly learning not too over generalize or make these judgments prematurely. Life apparently is an adventure... Although I'm not adventurous.

Dusk is such a comforting time for me personally (and stephanie meyer fans). This was the time I associated with homeward journeys- waiting in my grandparents driveway for my parents to come home. Memories from my childhood.

Rehoboth beach is a nice place. I highly suggest you take a weekend vacation there. My first time seeing the atlantic revealed to me that I'm literally and figuratively between two oceans. The pacific I grew up with is warm, calm and clear while the atlantic I saw this weekend was the opposite- cold, rough and gray.

No more metaphors. I hope this email finds you well.
