its actually a bit small from this angle.

something that ive been considering in the past month or so is perspective. its just interesting how you see something pending where you are. i know that sounds mundane, and in a way it is, but honestly, its something i feel i overlook often.

the thing that got me thinking about this was the price of gas. im not complaining about the price of gas, i don't see any use in it. but honestly, its something i feel spells out this point. a few years ago, none of us would have said $2.50 for gas was "cheap." but lo and behold, here we are, in the weeks prior and to this day, "man, gas is cheap."

so that was a tangent to express my point. something else that i realized was yesterday when i was flying back from san antonio [side note: amazing weekend, amazing city, amazing period.] as we were flying, i looked out the window at the neighborhoods. they were miniscule. again, i know that sounds obvious, but it made me realize something. i got to thinking about the people that were in these miniscule neighborhoods. how much time and effort they put into their middle class house and merecedes. but from my perspective, there was no distinction. i could not tell the rich neighborhoods from the "hoods" themselves.

i dont exactly know what i think when ive been thinking about this, but its certainly put me outside my box. in a surreal way. ill try and elaborate on this more in the coming week, and to you will, i promise i will write more in the coming week.
