a few days away from south by southwest, which has left me in the uncomfortable position of "consistently there", with regards to the office. daylight savings time has affected each of us, though not nearly to the extent that advertisers had imagined. marketing experts refer to this as an oversell, though i would be much more inclined to reference the obvious impact of disappointment over life's other elements. the dow continues to fluctuate, which is to say that there are some things best left unnoticed over small periods of time. i have friends that use terms such as "hard to ignore" and "fascinating" in such situations, and i'm beginning to feel as though few are getting the point. perhaps i'm not trying hard enough, which has been suggested on at least forty-six different occasions. my concern lessens accordingly.
austin's most appealing trait leading in to the extended weekend is its firm stance on the opposite side of where i am asked to operate in most decision-making situations. my days are full of a choice between lackluster options, with a false but necessary belief in the fact that a correct choice will lead to optimal (fulfilling, even?) return on my perceived level of risk. this, of course, is one of the largest fucking lies one can buy into, regardless of necessity. this weekend, however, i aim to be faced with an already determined outline of positive choices, with little or no consequence separating the good from the good. that is to say that the decision is easy, because the decision is meaningless. happiness is guaranteed, at least in principle. think what you'd like, but anticipation of this kind is assured of validation.
