This cold weather is quite exquisite. I think I love women in fall\/winter clothes, than in summer clothes. Don\u2019t get me wrong, summer dresses are absolutely delightful, I just find fall\/winter clothes a bit more pleasant. It\u2019s the sense of warmth and being cloaked with fashion, wonderful and lovely fashion. I honestly think it\u2019s a better season for clothes. It can be extravagant, or discreet, either way, it\u2019s all lovely, especially on women. Anyway, back to the weather. Yes it\u2019s bleak and gloomy outside, perhaps it\u2019ll rain &#8212; incidentally, I don\u2019t like the rain. It\u2019s a good time for umbrellas, but not parasols by the way, I don\u2019t know the difference, exactly. It&#8217;s amazing weather to contemplate. Gather your thoughts about the past year, or even, the past couple of hours. Wondering the mistakes you\u2019ve learned, or lack thereof. Also, It\u2019s great weather to drive to. Drive without the radio, and listen to the rain beating the windshield, like millions of fingers tapping an oak dining table, it definitely sounds pleasing. What I like the most about this weather? I\u2019m constantly inside, enjoying my comic books, or watching an obscure foreign film. It\u2019s all lovely &#8212; Yes, it\u2019s all lovely, being alone. I don\u2019t have any complaints too.<\/p>\n<p>Since you\u2019ve last read, and I last posted, a couple of things changed about me. Well, to be exact, time has changed. I\u2019m trying to take advantage of time now. I took it for granted, and though I don\u2019t have the energy to be as energetic as a young lad, I\u2019m trying my best to be more productive. Productive with time and the arts. As you know, I love art, and all the many mediums that spawned from it. I get stimulated when I see something beautiful. I know it\u2019s all subjective, but art has always been part of me. I\u2019ll be honest too, I\u2019m no great artist, I\u2019m not even a bit adequate, but I am genuine, well I try to be. We\u2019ll see what\u2019ll happen. This year hasn\u2019t been great, but not awful too. I was blessed with an opportunity, and I was granted by one. Thankfully, my prayers had been answered numerous times this year, and hopefully, it\u2019ll continue to do so in the upcoming years. Now, I\u2019m wondering when\u2019s the right time to move forward &#8212; move my heart forward.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I\u2019m going to listen to Beach House now. Until next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s December, \u2018tis the season to be, morbid. This cold weather is quite exquisite.
