Nothing at All

2012-01-24: Nothing at All - Philosophy

After days, weeks, months? Years? After all of this blurry time speeding forward, sometimes things jolt me, stop me, and they make me think.

This site's earliest date is in 2001. Not because I posted my first post in 2001, but rather 2001 was when I imported all of the old posts into the "new" site, and all timestamps were lost. 1999? 98? I don't know.

The days in which I was a Marigny Boy seemed to last forever, but they didn't. Those days and nights stretched and stretched. These images are pulled taut against the foundation of my life, and the pictures are unrealistically stretched across an eternity of experiences.

And realizing this, I took thousands of pictures. I took pictures that I knew I would later look upon with longing, love, and lingering doubts. But that time was just time, no different to the universe than any other time.

It was never New Orleans. It was never a place. It was and is just life. And life is too frenetic to ever appreciate it while it is happening.

It takes time away from the thing to appreciate the thing. And, for whatever reason, for me it takes a beer or seven.

Sometimes I remember things other people have said, and i quote them proudly. But, because we're all Cool Kids, when I want to quote song lyrics, I refrain from doing so just because it is so trite and common.

But, Two Tears in a Bucket, Mother Fuck It:

"You know for us these are the days.
Yes, for us these are the days,

And you know you're my girl!
Such a classic girl... "
