I've always fancied myself an optimist. 2009 is full of possibilities I cannot even begin to fathom. When I was listing possible names for my blog, I went through many uppity, attemptedly clever namesakes until this one just stuck. Lux for Latin light and flow for how I live my life--moment to moment and without delay like a jellyfish slowly surfacing to the top (to sting some unknowing beach tourist with fresh sand on their ass) or the feel of a wrist's steady pulse. I think it has a certain calmness to it. There have been many monikers I've gone by; There's been savethegaytrees, destroythebeauty(I know, angst much?), breatheyouin--which was inspired by my asthmatic tendencies, technolojia, cavalryoflight...more than I care to wrack my brain for at the mo. I'm trying to make this one stick. I'm tired of trying to live my life 'on the edge' searching for an intangible adventure I've always wished for myself. It's time to simmer down a bit and stop looking for something that will eventually sit itself right on my lap.
It's time to start 2009 with a quiet whisper/hiss as opposed to a big bang. I think its best to come across as unassuming rather than being pretentious, causing myself embarrassment when looking back in hindsight in the future.
