A Moment to Ponder - Ripped off from the FonzBlog

I'm going to begin by saying that I did not have this epiphany, but rather Greg Fonda did. I remember that Greg said he was going to make a blog a long time ago and I guess I had just forgotten about it. I was curious what he was writing. The only writing of his I've seen is his final project for screenwriting... ZomB ReTak, and it's very true that you can tell a lot about a person by the way they write.

For one thing, he was busy in film school which I felt I seldom ever was. He only had a few entries that spanned several months and he didn't seem to feel neutral whenever writing in his blog. For the most part, he was really excited about film and being on set, there was one that seemed like he was upset about something in Colorado, and lastly there was one about people and simultaneous events occurring. He said when he viewed the Global Citizens Plaza that he was envious of the people involved. He also said that he realized that he wasn't the only one not included. But rather, he was doing something he loved and that people everywhere were doing things they loved at that time.

I, personally, was one of the flag raisers of the Global Citizens Plaza opening. It was mostly a joke for me, considering I was a white guy raising the Chinese flag. I wasn't there for the global acumen that our school was celebrating. Despite the innumerable tycoons and showy nature of the opening, the school created something beautiful.

It's not the opening of the plaza that I'll remember the fountain by. I'll remember the first time I walked past it thinking, "you know, this thing looks awesome." I'll remember dancing in the fountain at Ball Ball. It's not about the ceremony or the official moment something was unveiled. It's about the memories you create there because those are the ones that matter to you and the ones that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

*WARNING* The preceeding was not humorous in nature, but rather was a more mature reflection on emotions and feelings. Sorry if I have offended you.
