The Beginning

And so it begins. I suppose I should introduce myself formally. I am Mini-Mitchell, a little blue guy. The world is a pretty big place to me, sometimes too big. I do my best to get around to different places in order to experience it in new exciting ways, but this can be a pretty big task for a guy like me. I'm more the indoors type. I'm currently spending my days attending Pepperdine University, in Malibu. It has its perks. I'm sure I'll discover what those perks are eventually. Anyways, my life has been a pretty boring journey so far, and now I'm going to share it. One week at a time.

SUNDAY: My story began on Sunday. I can't say I got out that much on Sunday--Like I said, boring--but I did have the chance to talk to my friend Chelsea on skype, who happened to be three hours into the future at the time. Wacky, I know. That was basically all of my Sunday though. Little did I know the excitement that was to come as the week went on.

MONDAY: First of all... I've never been a very big fan of Mondays. I don't really get how anyone could be unless they loved what they did, but we all know that no one really loves what they do. This Monday was different though. This Monday I checked the mail. I don't often receive mail, but on this special day I received a package the size of Rhode Island(this of course is an exaggeration. Rhode Island is miles and miles long and wide. I obviously wouldn't have room in my mail-box, or the strength to carry it). It was a package from Despair Inc. which contained items that would encourage me along the way in continuing my pessimism. I am blue you know. I suppose it's ironic that a package containing items joking about pessimism would bring me such joy. Mondays are like that sometimes I suppose.

TUESDAY: For some reason Tuesday was a worse day this week than Monday, which rarely happens. Tuesday brought with it two tests, which dampened my normal happy-go-lucky spirit. In order to counter this down day it became necessary to do something positive. I am a person who enjoys a nice walk, so off I went to find myself a pleasurable view. Looking over the world from a vantage point such as you can see above made me realize how insignificant my problems really are, especially when the world is such a vast place filled with problems greater than my own. Yet, through my problems, I am still in a place with a view like this. I must be honest, it has no affect on my mood. My problems are still my problems, as much as I tell myself to think differently.

WEDNESDAY: I've always enjoyed Wednesdays. It seems like everything is down hill once you get to it. The hump day. Went to chapel in the morning and heard the comedic spoken word of a man named Poetri(I know it's odd. It took me 30 minutes just to find anything on him online. If I were a decent person I would share the link here, but why take away the excitement you could have from finding him on your own?). Then I had class, after which I myself mailed something... not too exciting, just returning my Netflix. I'm sure someday I'll just mail myself somewhere. It is the cheapest way to travel you know.

THURSDAY: I can always feel the week winding down starting Thursday. Just get that feeling that I want to coast right on to the weekend. Then I get a class like philosophy to make me question everything. Philosophy. Very interesting. All I hear is, "There is no truth. Except for the fact that there is no truth. Which in itself cannot be true, if indeed it is true. But if it is false, then it is also not true." Brilliant. So next time someone tells you the truth about the fact that there is no truth remember that they are really lying to you, since there is no truth, but that if they are lying to you then that doesn't prove that there is no truth. It just means the statement, "There is no truth" is false. Like I said... Brilliant.

FRIDAY: It rained this day. That is the most important thing. I truly love rain, and not just because it is the perfect excuse not to go outside. I love the feeling of the giant drops landing on me as I walk around(yes... I do go outside when it rains... and willingly too). This rain made for an almost perfect day. I ate lunch with my new best friend the pine cone. I traversed the epic floods from heaven. Finally, I listened to the beautiful sounds of the relatively unknown band, "The Beatles," with the harmonies of nature playing in the background. Nature makes some of the best music. Rain, smooth flowing rivers, crashing waves, crickets, birds, etc... the greatest band ever.

SATURDAY: And now the week comes to an end. I've always found it odd that days seem to go by so slow when you are in the moment, but when you look back it seems like they came and went too fast. Now, I guess the sun is setting on our time together. Here's to the future that seems like it will never come.
