life's fireworks (part 2)
mood: dazzled
Guess what? I did go to catch the fireworks. *big grin* Yep, and i have the video to prove it. =P Decided to store away my thoughts for a minute and hopped into the car for a quick drive up Moeser Lane. glad i wasn't pulled over by the 2 police cars i passed on the way. Think i was driving pretty fast...worried that i wouldn't make it in time. There were 3 other cars there, all watching the same breathtaking display. True, it wasn't as nice as i imagined it would be. after all, i was on the wrong side of the bay (not to mention by the time i got there it was almost over). but surely a dazzling display of fireworks is still welcome anyday? it was quite hard trying to film it AND enjoy it. somehow, the real thing, no matter how much further away it is than the zoomzoomzoomed product, wins hands down. somehow seeing it on a small screen or photograph doesn't quite cut it. That's the beauty of life i suppose, actually living, feeling and experiencing such that the pain of every heartbreak, the joys of shared laughter, or the sweetness of private moments are etched forever in our hearts. i was really glad i chased the fireworks...felt like i actually did something important for myself today. even though it wasn't really a big deal at all, i'm glad i overcame inertia, and did something that i really wanted to do. perhaps, i hope, that this will apply to my life as well. =)
i wish u were here with me though...
