Every 30 Seconds

I have tried with other blogs to say things I wasn't sure were said. Inevitably, I have found serious limitations and flaws with what I intended to say. From grandiose notions of reforming commerce in Commercial Disaster with sheer hatred as a tool of criticism, to the bland observations from a second-story window about spray paint and drunks in Paseo Diaries... I had to destroy these things just to wade through them. It was necessary to find more freedom for the writing.
What I found tonight to inspire this new attempt at writing was just a glimpse of insanity viewed with some humanity - I don't know how else to explain it. If there is nothing else we share together, it is just the time it takes to live. Maybe entire minutes can last forever while lifetimes can crunch to unnoticed sparks.
I don't know what to expect - I never have. I don't know anything about life nor do I expect to learn anything in the process of living.
Free to state the obvious and stumble on the unknown, I don't know what to say but at least I no longer need a reason to say it.
Hopefully, I've gotten this fucking thing right at last.
