What's New - Jon Bolden’s Journal

I found this piece of writing from a journal

I was in a room one night filled with lots of lights. All of them were glowing brightly. After awhile, I began glowing brightly too. I saw a light that wasn’t as bright. I spent some time with this light. It got a little brighter, I got a little dimmer. Late in the evening, everyone’s lights began to dim. For some reason, our lights stayed constant late into the evening. Much later, all the lights had faded, but we were still glowing. When I began to fade, the other light shared some of it’s light with me. We suddenly became perfectly matched in brightness for a long long long long time. We stayed there until we both burnt out peacefully and silently together.

There’s so much to talk about! So much to show!

On Christmas Eve I tried to check Facebook as per my usual internet compulsions protocol. I find a warning that my account had been jeopardized by internet samurai (just kidding) and terminated due to a security breach. They gave me a contact for support, but I haven’t heard back yet.

What’s funny is that it’s been really nice without it. I didn’t feel like I lost anything when I found out. Even losing all those photos,contacts, and data didn’t disturb me one iota. I am most likely in a different situation than most considering all my photos are diligently organized and backed up on my computer (being a photographer dork and all). But I can’t think of an example that has permanent value. It made me aware of all the meaningless contact I have with folks day-to-day as a distraction.

I doubt I will stick to this, but… I’m considering not re-signing up. I’m sure when it comes time to promote something, I’ll cave. But let’s see how long I can last! New Years resolution! Now if I can only get rid of my Twitter account.

Christmas was wonderful this year. I came in on Christmas Day and it was just perfect. Everyone seems to be in a terrific mood.

My friends, Jill & Eric, wanted me to snap a photo of them in Hawaiian shirts. The reason being they wanted to give a photo gift of themselves that paid tribute to an old photo of Jill’s grandparents. I think it’s a wonderful and cute idea. I hope her grandparents love it!

If you haven’t figured it out yet. They’re on a volleyball court at Zilker park in Austin, haha THE BEACH!
