What I have realized in the last couple of days is that you cannot take those pains into such a new phase of life. They are not only in the past but separated by an expanse of new information and a new you. No matter how hard you hold on to an old break up or scar of similar kind - and we all do, no matter how much we tell ourselves that we really want to let go, you cannot help but be faced with the world that sees that as a long forgotten moment - inconsequential to the present that is so full of rich possibilities. Things can remind us of what came before but it cannot strike again, not in this world that is so different and rife with its own dangers. We cannot survive such pain as is to come if we bear it alongside that that has passed. We feel like both are one in the same, however, when they are not. Every new person holds a whole world, and no matter how similar their story could be to one that you have heard before it is different in just as many ways. A person doesn't ever have faith in relationships, love, or anything of the kind, they have faith in each person that they let into their life. If someone hurts you when you let them get that close, that is something that they alone decided. Broken trust - or broken faith - is something beautiful truly lost, but it is broken only for that person. Sometimes the only way to love again is to find the one you can trust in and believe in when you feel like you can't anymore.
I know that I'm a day late, but hey, it's my first week here in beautiful Rochester New York! This week has been extremely busy, but I am still here so that you guys can keep up with the times. The University is perfect for what I was after, and I am happy to say that the next for years could be the best yet for Heinz. All procrastination and laziness aside, this year's schedule has many good things in store, including the possibility of adding German to the languages Heinz has available. I have met a few different people so far, and there are many more that I do not know, but what people can have in common is somewhat astounding. A TV show or hobby can break the ice between two people, and an hour's time can make friends of them. An afternoon can see them sharing stories and pains of the past.

As a quick foreward, the picture I have in my mind as I write these posts is a dark expanse, where I throw ideas and hope that they find somewhere to be heard. Again I ask you to comment if you can, so that I can see your face in that darkness. Plus, I'm not going to stop mentioning it until you do, so there. Hop to it. On to the good stuff!
After a hop across the pond, some scary driving, and a hundred failed chess matches, I am finally on my way home. To one home, at least. Week number three! Exciting! Do you believe me now? Looks like we’ll be here on Thursdays now. Tell your friends, tell your family; tell every single person you know!
This week’s TSaT will be somewhat short and late (I’m not sure whether I will be losing a day or not), as I am writing it in the air above the American south, headed to Atlanta, Georgia before flying to a wondrous land: Ireland. This does not mean, however, that I will be breaking off or limiting my posts, however; I will be writing a full post out of the Land of Ire and Song. I wouldn’t forget you guys, those of you actually out there. For today, however, I wanted to talk fairly quickly about Twitch. Heinz Evolution will be officially be launching its base version to select customers starting August 26! Starting that day I will begin working with our partner the U of R to judge reaction to the new Heinz and see what we can improve. See you all soon!
It's the middle of the night and I can't get to sleep, so rather than skulking on Facebook I thought I would post some housekeeping items and one thing that has been on my mind. Oh, and if you are looking back at this post while looking through the archives you might find this especially interesting.
Hey! Hello there! Here we are again, on Thursday, just like I promised. (Well, technically Friday morning, but let's just call it a late Thursday night.)
"Ooh, it looks like this is a weekly thing! Or at least he said it would be; it will take more than just two weeks to get me to believe that this is going to be a thing. After all, you can't just say it will be and have people accept it right away." Well, one step at a time, as they say. This week I want to talk about minds. |
Jonathan HeinzI love being able to work with places like Rehoboth and Rochester to develop Heinz and try to make it something that anyone can enjoy. Archives
