Will & Grace and Big City Dreams

Today was a pretty relaxed day, which after the week I had, today was very much needed. I started the day with watching one of my all-time favorite TV shows...Will & Grace. I'm not sure if you realize how obsessed I am with this show. I have seen nearly every episode at least 3 times each. Will and Grace always puts me in a better mood and it's the only TV show that has actually made me cry from laughing so hard. It's rare for me to even laugh out loud while watching a TV show, but Will and Grace seems to take the tears out of me with no effort.

After Will and Grace and after my awful doctor's office experience, I took a nice hour and a half walk with an old elementary school friend of mine. We take these walks every so often to just catch up on each other's lives and talk to each other about the future. It's nice to be able to talk to someone. I'm the type of person who keeps his thoughts and feelings inside, unless asked by someone to share them. And once asked, I won't stop until my whole life story is brought upon you. I think this world that we live in needs a little of both. Yeah, talking to someone about your problems is a good thing, but I also believe that people should just stop talking for once and listen. Listen to themselves, listen to the world around them, listen to each other. If the world just listened more then I truly believe the world would be a better place. We are always doing something. Always working or always hanging out with friends. We all talk about being so stressed out and wanting time to relax, but once we actually have time to do it we don't do it! Maybe the next time you have a free moment you should just lay down in a dark place and think. Just close your eyes and clear your mind. Forget about the world, forget about yourself. Let your mind become space.

I have always had a love for big cities. I've been dreaming of living in Los Angeles and New York City since I was at least 10. Now that one of those dreams is coming true, I wonder when the other one will become reality. I spent some time tonight searching for the perfect picture of Manhattan at night to put as the background on my computer. I do this every once in a while to keep things interesting. After viewing this picture for some time, I realized that while I love the weather in LA, I feel like my true love is in New York City. Maybe it's just from watching too much Will and Grace. I love the big city lights and the flashing street corners. I've only been to Manhattan once in my life for 2 hours. It was 2 hours I will never forget. I know I will live in Manhattan one day, and I can't wait for that day to come.
