most recently during my "hello, my name is" project, i found josh. it was unlike most other meetings i had had in that it was 3:00 am on a wednesday night and i was not expecting to actually find someone outside. to my surprise however, sat josh smoking a cig contently. with a smile and a nice greeting, i sat down and joined him. i think you meet the most interesting people in the most unexpected places. it was because we were both strangely outside at the young hours of the morning that we meshed so well together though. i could hardly learn much about him as he was more into my life. quickly, i made the connection between his eagerness to talk and question people and his major: magazine journalism. i can tell he's going to be successful. he just seemed very inquisitive of life and interested in people, which was what i was supposed to be doing. but small talk turned to real talk and we sat outside for a good half an hour before we decided we were absolutely crazy for hanging outside so late. my conversation with josh was definitely the longest and most in-depth one i have had throughout this project. these are the people i'm interested in; people who are into people, people who think about life and reason and the world and any other abstract thought you can come up with.
