The initial morning and subsequently afternoon is upon us since I abruptly decided to move ahead my move out date by a couple of days. The Snowpocalypse has ascended on the area and after days of shoveling I decided it would be easier to just not attempt to return up the driveway and take some essentials to the new (flat land surrounded) home.

While it doesn’t feel like I’ve actually moved yet, awaiting the mattress and dresser for that, I walked down the main drag of town to a cafe where I am now enjoying free wireless internet and, soon, a meal. These are the types of activities that one can only dream/read about on Dean’s blog archives. On the walk over, I realized that despite the cold and lack of navigable walkways I loved the idea of being within walking distance of something I wanted to do. Perhaps it’s my inner subconscious (can a subconscious be anywhere else?) saying that I have more of an urban mentality. Not that Aliquippa is a metropolis by any means, it is the most densely populated area I’ve ever resided in.

I can understand how people could get lost in thought being surrounded by people so much. It’s a mental marathon seeing so many new faces and without thought have judgement, stereotype, opinion, and first impressions. Luckily, I consider myself a relatively good person and I haven’t seen anyone that I feel negatively towards. Everybody is going about their lives and on occasion they cross paths, even just for a minimal smile or head nod. Those moments are what make up a community apparently, and I’m eager to make my mark on this new one soon.
