6th St

In Austin Texas there is a street unlike any other. At least not any that I have previously encountered.
Its called 6th St. It is located in Austin's down town area. During the day time it is a pretty unimpressive site. In fact most every place on that street is closed during the day time.
It's not until the night comes that this street becomes truly alive.
The street is divided in two sections.
One is called Dirty 6th which is were cool crazy clubs are. on some weekends the street becomes so packed that it has to be guarded by policemen, even ambulances sit close on stand by. Some people believe this place has dancing locations and crazy drunks jumping or even boxing on the street. It is a pretty impressive site. For the first few seconds when you arrive a sort of panic fills you it immobilizes you  for a few seconds while you try to take the whole atmosphere in. But as the night progresses and the wind blows on your face you feel truly liberated. If you thought dancing and jumping up and down in a club was fun trust me when I say that jumping like a maniac on the street is way cooler.
The other half of 6th street has a more pompous feel to it. Not saying that it is less fun. on the contrary I just want to mark down the difference in the type of fun both sides of 6th street are.
This side lets call it the classy 6th has a more variety of drinks. ad the overall ambiance seems to feel more like a normal club.
But unlike dirty 6th the classy 6th has a better variety of eye candy. Cute boys dressed in very gentlemen attire are everywhere. At the bar, at the dance floor everywhere.
Just this previous weekend I encountered a lovely Israeli boy who was not just good looking but quite the charmer. As I said my my good byes he grabbed my hand and bestowed upon it a kiss. Leaving me all giddy feeling like a modern day princess.

So what ever your fit is 6th St has it all!

Cupid Arrows

So February valentines day is here. February is here The month of Love and friendship. Or just the month of commercialized gift giving =P what ever you want to call it. I have decided to honer this month by reading romantic tales.
I have began this crusade by reading the oldest love stories of humanity. The classics. Mythology.
Mythology is full of romance, betrayal and love affairs and disturbingly enough even incest.

We have Jupiter who is the son / lover of Gaia (mother earth)
then Zeus and the marvelous adventures between him and his 7 brides and his forever growing collection of lovers.

Greek Mythology has a

It's amazing how most of our culture comes from the Romans and the Greeks.

Then later on I think its only right to read a little Shakespeare, after all who better to demonstrate a little romance then the prince of words himself.

After that I am pretty much open for ideas. any out there want to suggest something?????

Down The Rabbit Hole

So I haven't written anything new in a while.
The truth is I had nothing good to say.
I fell in deep in to a rabbit hole. The rabbit hole of the darkness of my mind.
I do that sometimes. I get lost in there and I can't find my way back.
I can see how easily I let situations eat me up. I can see my soul shatter and my heart crumble and my body perish.
I can see how I let loneliness get the best of me. But still I let the fall down the rabbit's hole take its course.
I don't even try to hold on to anything anymore.I just fall and fall and maybe cry.

So apparently living in  the Capital of Texas does not mean my maniacal depressions are cured. I must say I think they have gotten worst. I mean I am not doing anything crazy like cutting or running straight in to a Longhorn but I am definitely going back in to the hole.

I can't really blame Austin. I have always been this way, But I can hold Austin partially responsible.
After all I have been living in this place for a several months now and still the only place in this city that feels even remotely like home is my house.

I mean don't take this the wrong way I love the Austin building, it's gardens, the parks everything. But unfortunately nothing feels like home, yet.

Except my house.

Would I die if I lost that to???

No.

Probably just take a deeper trip in to the rabbit hole

Brrr...

Its Freezing !!!

Remember what I said about Austin's crazy weather??? Well I wasn't kidding the weather in this city is definitely suffering from a weird bipolar syndrome. Yesterday was a beautiful sunny Texan day, People on the street were wearing sun dresses and flip flops and shorts and miniskirts. But TODAY!!!
It's barely 9:16 am. and it has already rained and even hailed all we are missing here in the capital of Austin is some snow. The winds are blowing like crazy caring with them that penetrating bone freeze, and the sun is no where to be found.

Anyways I was questioned this morning, If given the opportunity would I leave this bipolar city and return to my home town?
I thought the answer would be that I'd leave in a heartbeat, but as I thought about it, I realized that would be a LIE.
I love the bipolarness of Austin, I love not knowing what new thing is coming. And sure I am still not 100% fitting in, and yeah my lacking social life is driving me slowly mad,  And I definitely miss my friends and family like crazy and would love to see them.

But I must confess I don't want to leave Austin!!!

I want to fit in, and become part of this whole  "Keeping Austin Weird" culture.

So ask me again in a few months how I feel. Maybe the weather will end up getting on my nerves. But for now I am hope full

Cheers to new beginnings!!!!
