Establishing Residency

I remember when I took my first steps into Paris. It was a strange feeling, resisted at the beginning, but I became more used to the new smell, the new scenery. For the first couple days I would spend my mornings wandering around. Then I began to figure out what parts of Paris I liked. I would spend my mind there. I would let people drag me to their place, I liked it all fine, but I got used to the spots I liked the most. 

I remember moving in. The residents thought I was strange, foreign. And i'll admit it, I was both of those, but at least I tried to fit in. I'm still trying to fit in. My guide to Paris is going to be leaving me soon, but I see a bright future ahead of me in Paris.

What do you want?

I want happiness. There's a million different roads that end up there, but mine isn't laid out in front of me. It's either under construction or I'm just in the wrong place. I'm not giving up though, I'm just going to drive til I find it. I had to write an essay on a prompt that said the purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to have lived and lived well and to make a difference. I completely disagreed with it. I think happiness is the most important. I think that being useful, to have lived and lived well, and to make a difference can all be components for happiness, but it depends on the person. One person's happiness could be completely different from another persons'.

Don't squander opportunities. Don't be lazy. Don't be pessimistic. A wise yolo-er once told me, "The angel of death could come at anytime, you're never going to know when." Even though this came from some random kid it struck a chord in me because it's true. Every day things could make a whole world of difference. Do something that you might not normally do for a change. Be open-minded. Be ambitious. Be happy. Be an old guy who is proud of himself.

Be this guy

Poem Jealousy

I basically know nothing about famous poets or poetry in general. I usually like poetry it's just not what I usually choose to read. My favorite poem is The Road Not Taken By Robert Frost. My dad read me this poem when I was a kid and it has stuck with me ever since.   The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

This poem talks about how the popular decision isn't always the decision that is right for you. Sometimes you need to go against the grain and do what you want to do. One part I really like is the third stanza because it shows that either way the choice is going to have a big impact on your life because one decision leads to another.

Dialogue

Me talking to Macklemore, the tightest of all rappers.

Macklemore- "I've only got twenty dollars in my pocket"
Bob- "That's cool, Macklemore"
"$h!t, this is only 99 cents!"
"Wow I really hope you don't write a song about our trip to the D.I., that would be horrible."
"Bag it, coppin' it, washin' it, 'bout to go and get some compliments"
"What are you even saying?"
"I'ma take your grandpa's style, I'ma take your grandpa's style, no for real - ask your grandpa - can I have his hand-me-downs"
"Sure I don't care. Do you always talk like this?"
"I wear your granddads clothes, I look incredible."
"My granddad would never wear a coat that massive."

This is pretty much how Macklemore made the song Thrift Shop. It's wayyy genius and great.
