'A Better Isotope'

[Listening to: 'I Will Sing You Songs' by My Morning Jacket]

In the midst of our post-communion-service conversation at the right wing of the church: David formed a somewhat metaphysical equation concerning one's location and employment. I think. I didn't quite hear what he was saying, actually. Afterwhich, Pastor replied with: Aha!, there it is - your true thoughts!; he went on to relate it to something which he plucked from out of the blue (well, I certainly didn't expect it..) - 'The Freudian Slip'. By then, David was sheepishly smiling. If only I had heard what he had actually said in the first place. I didn't ask him to repeat it right before we left for breakfast, and now I feel strangely bothered by it.

As you can see, I'm killing time as a friend whom I'm supposed to fetch for breakfast has just got up. He requested that I 'drive slowly'. This I find, is a better alternative.

Edit: the following is a continuation of this post, the breakfast after.

I have procrastinated in the making of this list (its significance will be proven much later on):-

For the year ahead
  1. Be a better son
  2. Write simpler
  3. Read more
  4. Not take myself too seriously; take everything else also, with a pinch of salt
  5. Live healthily
  6. Pick up a new skill / talent
  7. Get myself involved with 'community' work / something which would require me to be socially adept
  8. Not be as sacrastic / obnoxious in my real-time interaction with friends / aquaintances
  9. Not have a superiority complex on matters of work, music, et al (read: matters where I usually have it)
  10. Write good happy songs - and not cringe
  11. Smile more - and mean it
  12. Trust where my feelings / heart will take me

We'll see.
