Came home from work last night only to be called on yet again. Works seems to be calling me a lot lately. It is really hard to balance out that area of my life. It just seems to need so much water.
At some point I had the realization: I work, and work, and work, and then I start to form an identity around that work. One day that work changes or is taken away and then the problems start. Actually the problems started when the identity started forming, but shit what am I to do. Either I do the work or I don’t do it either way I am fucked.
I live in a society way fucking out of balance. There is no question about that, but shit man if I live in a society that is out of balance and I am in balance wouldn’t that be out of balance? Heh.
So I didn’t go to the meeting last night. I needed to stay home and just relax. My form of relaxing is figuring out how I can better my living space. It is fun for me to rearrange, organize , and sort through out shit.
Anyway I just bought a few put-it-together-yourself shit from Crate and Barrell. There was something about the living room that wasn’t working for me so I took the time to sort it out. In the end I just moved my couch a bit but I am happy with the outcome. The unfortuneate thing about my living room is there is really only one way that the furniture can be configured. This is mainly because of the couch which is large and sectional and can only be setup in a certain way.
In the end I was able to get the configuration I was looking for and then I realized what it meant to me: creating lines. There is something about creating lines and symmetry. It takes a lot of time and energy to get things just right, but it always pays off in the end. Configuration is such a personal process and it can be enjoyed by all…
