spend time doing what you love.

this friday, i made a run on the town. i had a plan that i formed on wednesday:

1) eat some mussels.
2) drink a good beer or 6.
3) have a scotch on the rocks.

simple plans are the best ones. all i had to do was get some people who would appreciate the plan. and lucky for me i have been blessed with friends that would not only appreciate the plan, but enjoy the spoils. come friday, it went down. it was great. man, damn.

what i like doing is spending time with the people i love, eating and drinking. thats not all i love, but i sure do loving doing all of those things, preferably together. those times i don't do those things, and do other shit like:

1) go to poetry readings. once...and that's a lie. i've been like 5 times and its all the young africans' fault.
2) go to the club.
3) go to the mall.
4) eat sushi. other than that fried soft shell crab. that is pretty good.
5) spend any amount of time around someone having level 1 conversation: the conversation you had with people when you came back to school from break, most conversation white people have with each other, or co-worker conversation.

its miserable.
it's painful.
its what's behind door number 4. and people spend so much downtime doing wack shit. i mean, maybe you like eating raw fish and hearing some dude named blacC Ra sing songing some words together. if you do, then go do it. if it's your thing, then i'm not knocking you.

(well, not alot. i'm knocking you a bit. enough to let you know i'm there, but not enough to wake you up if your sleep.)

if you don't, then why. it doesn't make you different, special or progressive. plus, even if god gives you old age, it still aint alot of time to be doing things that you really don't like to do.

(fellas, girls will jam you up heavy on some dumb shit. going to the mall for hours, eating at nasty restaurants. girl movies. sometimes you got suck it up so you win in the big game. i'm not never going to be there for you in the nighttime hours, but she might. but for the love of it all, stand up when you got to and say no. put her on to something good. behind door number 3 and the purple curtain.)

you should spend that time aside from doing what you have to, doing what you love. it only makes sense.
