Blind YouTuber Explains What He Thinks About Colors

Ahh, new month, new month, new month!

Still shaking the dust off of November. What an time that was. The hurricane. The painful aftermath. The hysteria of the election. The realization that one of my roommates is an animal-neglecting psycho. The literal falling apart of my house at its seams. The subsequent moving-out of said roommate. The glorious long weekend that was Thanksgiving holiday. The death of my oldest cousin.

It was a brutal month, and that is why I love a fresh start. It may just be a continuation of the same week, but a new page on the calendar has always been so deeply symbolic for me of starting over. I love starting over. I’ve even come up with a list of resolutions today. I haven’t made resolutions in years! I thought it was stupid to wait until January 1st to make a change, when you can just begin your grand life change today, on the totally nondescript date of December 3rd, 2012. But I’ve made real resolutions this year, and I’m not unleashing them on the world until the new year.

November was the month when the shanty burned, crumbled, and blew away in the wind. December is the month we rebuild. January we toast our hard work and begin to decorate.

I once hosted an introverted party. Everyone came over and did their own thing without talking to each other—homework, laptop stuff, collages, cooking. It was amazing, quiet time in the company of friends. I think fishermen and people-who-sit-on-porch-rocking-chairs know what I’m talking about.

Happy thanksgiving from the little house on the Sound. (at Old Saybrook, CT)

gratitude list.

Maybe this is the cheesiest thing you’ll ever read in your life, but I wrote this down while Hurricane Sandy raged outside, and my roommates and I bonded in our dark, cramped living room. And I just have to share it.

Thank you Sandy for allowing us to have our first house meal together.

Thank you for letting us roast marshmallows over a candle.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity share our own poetry and music with each other.

Thank you for making me feel like a responsible adult.

Thank you for not killing us.

Thank you for not taking away our home.

Thank you for showing me how difficult is actually is to read and write by candlelight.

Thank you for taking away our soul-sucking social media away for a little while.

Thank you for giving me a few days off from work, to recover from my cold and get little tasks done.

Thank you for allowing me to concoct a delicious pasta dish, completely in the dark.

Thank you for giving me more insight into the minds of my housemates.

Thank you for letting me rest & recharge.

Thank you for giving me a newfound appreciation for the usual routines in my life.
