Good Morning.

So it's been a while since my last post...mainly because classes have started up again. Let's just say this semester isn't the most relaxing.

Most of my posts on this blog have discussed energy, but I didn't start this blog just to write about energy, so I'm going to start writing about some fresh topics on my mind, starting with this one.

I'll start with something that I've been thinking more and more about walking around the city. When was the last time you were walking around the city (Boston is all I can really speak of) and said "Hey" or "Good morning" to a complete stranger. When was the last time someone said this to you? I'll bet it's been a while. Maybe it's just me, but instead it seems like everyone is walking around like they lost their dog and forgot how to whistle, trying to avoid all physical communication with the strangers around them. What's the deal? Everyone's always in such a hurry, and its understandable because, yes, life is busy. But how long does it really take to voice a friendly greeting to a passerby or two? Give it a try, I bet it'll make your day a little bit better.

A few months ago, I was taking a bus to Bourne and starting talking randomly to two older women from Kansas City who were here visiting for a weekend. They seemed to be in awe of the fact that someone from Boston was actually friendly enough to carry on a random conversation just for the hell of it. I used to think that this was a common misconception, because in general I think people in Boston are chill. But, unless you've been here for a while, its pretty easy to get the impression that people here really are assholes. So, next time you're out and about, maybe you'll think about this and see what I mean. Or, maybe you'll just say "Good Morning."
