So today, I made the now common trip down to Vista, CA to work on my brother's new house some more and in the peak of my immature frustration, I noticed something taking place around me.

The repetition of motion in everyday life.
The repetition of motion in everyday life.
The repetition of motion in everyday life.
The repetition of motion in everyday life.
The repetition of motion in everyday life.
The repetition of motion in everyday life.
The repetition of motion in everyday life.

Mmm, well not just that...it goes a little beyond that believe it or not.

How much beyond that, well I don't know if that's for me to decide.

Today, my mother turns on the hose that runs through the plants at my brother's house and steadily nourishes them with water. As I move towards the origin of the hose, I notice a frenzy of ants scattering in a line, but they are divided by those that run in one direction and those that run in the opposite direction. From my perspective, there is a repetition of dashes moving in opposite directions. Pretty abstract, but noticeable.

Simple things, like the movements one makes to wash windows or just bluntly one's daily routine. We are creatures of HABIT, creatures of REPETITION, and quite honestly, I'm not so sure it's a good thing.

So I now have 10 days left at home and today I came to the realization that it's almost time to start packing...ahh and yee. Hopefully my roll of film comes in tomorrow. There are some interesting photos to come...



Up

At just before 4:20 am AGAIN...weird.


The noises that come from the refinery late at night give me a nervous feeling; I really should get back to sleep...
