HD

My dad told me once that the human eye is the most powerful camera out there. It frames perfectly, has the highest of HD, produces vibrant colors, requires no flash, charging, or battery, and has infinite memory space. If you pay attention, that is. I really wish I could record what I see without a camera. I wish I could play it back without recounting it inside this box through words. Everything I see through my eyes is beautiful and perfect and I want a Polaroid of every memory.

A lot of people give up when they first realize that what they produce is shit but I realize with each day that you have to fight through that gap to become great at whatever it is you want. Yesterday I made myself a lovely meal of under-cooked pasta and burned sauce. It was awful and I ate it. I chewed very slowly. Today, though, I made myself a sandwich of fried egg, maple sausage, and Monterrey jack cheese and it wasn't that bad. I think, for right now, my greatest aspiration is to do this with every experience. To start out totally... lousy at something and then to get better. Even just slightly better. Even from bread to toast. I don't know it's just astounding to me to have that much growth in such a small amount of time and with such an insignificant minute detail in my life.

It's the small stuff that gives you practice for the bigger things at any rate. So. That's my wonder for the evening.
