actually it's quite funny how nice people are round here and, at the same time, how much this makes you feel you're on your own (see how i try to avoid the word "lonely"?).
You're meeting at least five people every day that tell you where they're from, what they do and how great it is that San Francisco is so warm at this time of the year. Of course you're telling the same. We're having a nice conversation don't we?
I'm not complaining, please don't get me wrong. But if there's so many people you meet, how can you possibly build up any sort of relationship?
The answer is - you don't have to. Why would you want to?
It's more like a wild guess, you'd just ask everyone and if there's someone special (maybe someone who's doing fucking cool creative artsy things or whatever) you just keep talking. But then again, everyone is doing fucking cool creative artsy things. There's so many people expressing their ideas in a creative way that's appealing - be it music or visually - and if everybody's doing it, it's nothing special anymore, right?
Well, i guess i'm far too european for this. Or too old already? Nah...
I faintly seem to remember a time when there was nothing else on my mind but interest in meeting new, cool people and travelling to see all those gorgeous places in the world.
Looking at things now, i feel like slowly taking a back seat and watching people play with each other, at least in an environment like this.
But that might just as well be a mood thing, and by the time the fog clears, things might look differently...
On a sidenote:
Though recent experience tells me that denying what you do isn't getting you anywhere, the way people pimp their own work is something i realy have to get used to. I'd rather hurry.
