Even though most of this weekend was spent reading secondary sources on German aesthetic tradition or preparing aspects of my new film, I still managed to get out Saturday night and have a ton of fun with old friends I don't see enough anymore.  There seem to be more and more of these friends in my life, but I must not let myself get down over my memories of the past growing further and further away.  I need to keep my sights set on my goals, and my true telos in what I do, the progression of history and the evolution of not just my own, but human consciousness in general.  But I digress, Saturday night was excellent and just like Sol said to Max in Pi, sometimes you just need to take a bath and let your mind go....no acting like I am getting some kinda spiritual enlightenment out of it to give myself reason to do it every night, just good old fashioned purposeless fun for a night...

Even though I'm not much for drinking and partying anymore, at least on the level I used to, it still serves its purpose.  It is good to look back on photos of yourself smiling with old friends...

Second 4th of July in a row with great friends, can't ask for much more.  Hard to believe it was over a year ago now that I went to Camp Zoe for probably the last time...It was such a beautiful experience and I will cherish those memories forever...

Happy fourth of July everyone, blow some shit up for Hunter S. Thompson!
