The Present

Hi everybody, welcome to the blog where I talk about the present.

I guess these days we spend a lot of time sitting around and thinking. I certainly do. Van Gogh once said, “A good painting needs a good chair.” I’m in a wheelchair right now, does that mean every painting is good? Another thing I was thinking: am I sad because it rains, or does it rain because I’m sad? This is the kind of shit I think about all day.

I was thinking, you know, I think we live so long now, hopefully, we live different lives within our life. For example, the first time I got married, I moved to Australia. That was one life. I got divorced and then moved to Paris where I worked and lived. That was another life. I then moved to New York City where I lived and worked. That was another life. I then moved to Montauk, got married again, built a house on the ocean, had a baby. That was another life. I got divorced again. Now I live in a small stone house by the side of the road with a brain injury and a smelly dog. That’s another life. Who knows where this one will go. The point is, we live so long nowadays we have different experiences. Embrace them, it’s cool. That’s how we grow. But then again, I could be thinking too much.

On another note, I’ve been walking much better. Once again, I’ve reached another level of self awareness. And once again, it’s cool, but it’s also a self acknowledgement that I’ve got a long way to go and a lot of work to put in. You’re almost better off being ignorantly blissful.

See you next week. Love, B. Nice
