today i had one of those moments that is so little in the scheme of things, but just made me feel good.
i was walking into union station downtown because it was freezing, so me and pops were cutting through to get to the garage where our car was parked. trust me, they don't call it the windy city for no reason, and when its 10 degrees out, the wind is HARSH.
as i was going down on an escalator, a cute laywer/business type guy, decked out in nice clothes, maybe mid to late 20s, dark hair, light blue eyes, was going up on the one adjacent to us. we made eye contact and i just smiled at him. he smiled back. then the escalators kept going in their respective directions and i looked back at said lawyer-hottie(because he was FINE), and he was looking back at me, still smiling.
now, thats all that happened. no numbers were exchanged between me and said hot lawyer, but after that, i noticed just smiling at people, especially downtown, where most people are so fast paced and work oriented, is contagious. after that, a family with a little girl and boy walked past and the mom was struggling to put up their hoods, jackets, gloves, scarves, etc. she looked up and i smiled, and she smiled right back.
so i really don't have a reason to smile right now, besides the fact i just got chipotle for the first time in my life and it was really good, but going downtown today, although it was for seriously a half hour or less, just made me feel better. seeing all these other people. seeing the hottie lawyer. seeing a mom and her kids downtown on a cold day..i bet they've all had hard times too. everyone has these times. a city like good ole chicago is filled with people, and people are filled with issues. there is one person who, out of those millions of people in this city, i'd give anything for. and now that i don't have him, he's now just another face in the crowd. i still love him, but seeing all these other people just kinda was a sign that i know there's others out there for me. like hottie lawyers. :)
so tonight at five, my destiny for the next four years is all but locked in. but i guess i don't care if i am not accepted to university of illinois. if i need to, i can transfer after my first year of college, but loyola should be fun, especially with katy as my room mate, and our trips to milwaukee to visit gizzi and all of our friends who are going to marquette. and just being in the city. i worked full time down there and it still makes me feel happy everytime i'm down there. some of the best times of my life were had in chicago.
so let us lift our glasses to destiny and let it do the work from here on out.

so i made one of these...why?
because i do need somewhere to reflect on the day, or the week, or whenever im just pissy or happy or what not...and myspace, i have learned, is not the best place for personal reflection in detail, since everyone has that.
so yeah. here i am. have fun.
