A day in the life.

Throughout the past couple months I’ve discovered a new hobby: learning about other people’s lives. I don’t mean it in the sense that I’ve become the “busybody” that knows all and tells all, likewise it isn’t because of the lack of excitement present in my own life; my motivations are purely to satiate my curiosity.

Let’s face it, we are all in transitional phases of our lives. Married, kids, jobs, different cities, schools, ect. Each lifestyle vastly differs from the next thus making it both intriguing and enlightening to see what life’s like on the other side of the fence, so to speak.

In having conversations with people post-graduation it’s very easy to quickly discover what they’re all about. It’s no longer about who they’re friends are, what Greek house they’re in, what bars they frequent, what their major is, and what other mundane differences they might have. Conversations nowadays divulge all sorts of fun interesting facts like what their passions are, what they want to be, who they live with and where, what their job is like, what they do in their free time, what they’re studying at school and why. There’s more meat to it. Granted, I still love to have fun and just relax and hang out, but I’ll never grow tired of an enlightening conversation .

Sometimes it doesn’t take a convo to efficiently portray a lifestyle.

For instance, I went to a loft downtown. I was completely content just visualizing how different daily life downtown would be.
Parallel parking on the traffic street. Keying in a passcode to get in. Passing the security guard. Taking the elevator up to the 5th floor. Watching TV that continuously echoes and reverberates off the cement walls. Sleeping in the same room as the kitchen. Watching the constant chaos of Power and Light District from your window. Where would you even go grocery shopping?
I guess you could say I’m easily amused.

I guess you could also say it’s a sign of maturity, as my thoughts of “different” people have transitioned from judgemental to open-minded. After all, it’s what keep things interesting and exciting!

Blogs are another great way to keep tabs on the ins and outs of peoples' lives. In fact, Megan’s post on marriage inspired me to write this.

So keep the good entries coming!
