Houston, city. Economy, prosperous. Culture, vapid.

History, started booming when AC became common in the 1950s.

From How air conditioning changed America

"Engineered air was marketed to the public as an essential component of modern living. Manufacturers claimed that it promoted better sleeping and eating, healthier air quality, cleaner interiors free from pollen and dust, and the enjoyment of nature through glass window walls without the discomforts of summer heat and humidity."

Away from self during the weekend

Always the outsider. put aside the mantle of the observer and know what it means to stumble and laugh and be late.

There are no more exams, class presentations, term papers, only the weekend and what's made of it.

Forks and spoons

Had a conversation on Friday. In such an overdeveloped country, groups of people are needed to make any impact. The individual has even less of an ability to steer society as I have imagined. What an obsolete dream to begin with. Not to mention the disappointment that comes with the realization. Glad I was candid, by myself it would have taken me 15 years to figure that out. Wish this took place 5 years ago.
