Two posts in one day, holy shit! Decided I'd also post a far shorter and less sappy update on what happened to me today.
Today wasn't too eventful, much of it was spent hanging with a local friend of mine. We met through politics earlier this year. He lives walking distance away, so I was shocked I hadn't met him sooner. Incredibly similar to me, down to us having the same first name, but with a very different political journey (even if we both ended up at the same spot). It's always really insightful getting to hear what he has to say.
We met at my place, drove around for a while, and got burritos from a local place before driving over to a nearby beach. Once there, we bravely did the Long March across the beach and onto a nearby lighthouse island. I have little to no coordination and am petrified1 of falling so walking across an incredibly long and rocky breakwater was not exactly the most fun thing in the world but it was super cool to see the old lighthouse that was there. Felt like Skyrim, honestly. Just instead of going into the Helgen towers we kinda just stuck our heads into a slightly smelly abandoned lighthouse. Not worth doing it ever again but cool to say I've done it! After that we walked back, got ice cream, and chilled at his place for a while talking politics before I went home.
All in all, a low-key but fun day. I hope for many more of these this summer.
I've noticed before that when I say "I'll post more" I never do so I'll close off this burst of posting energy by saying I'll never post again and this blog will forever stand as a testament to my folly. Hopefully that reverses the jinx.
