Hello blogosphere. How beith you this fine eve? I wish people still spoke "ye olde english". Maybe I should spend more time at Medieval Fairs. I really just want to speak lots of languages. I feel they help us grasp our native language better. Hence why people who speak English as a second language always have funny word insights. I always try to think of them myself but fail. I might be clever to someone else in another language one day.
I feel my generation is lazy overall. Or at least I am constantly around the lazy people because all of those I meet of my age or near it are not very serious about anything. Or at least not open about said seriousness because all I see from people is laziness and boring "lets gossip about people" tendencies. I saw a quote that said (random thought: if there was an automatic eye dropping machine that automatically dropped eye drops into your eyes, would you need to blink any more?)
Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
That is the quote right there. I like it because it seems the people with all the friends are the ones talking about each other. Wow. Are you really friends if you are just discussing other peoples' lives? Why don't you live your own life and really enjoy it? How can you enjoy your own life if all it consists of is other peoples' lives? That means you need those other people to enjoy life. That is all too sad. For those people anyway. I plan to have myself a good life that does not depend on other people for fun. Now, don't get me wrong, my friends and I have the best of times. But, I don't need those people to have fun. I can read a good book. Go to a museum and enjoy a nice piece of art. (I could probably spend hours in that room at the Saint Louis Art Museum with the Van Gogh's in it.) And it seems like these people are the ones that are going to turn into the ones that feed the TV market and NASCAR racing and boring mind numbing not productive things that we have in American society. Maybe I am pessimistic about it. I guess only time will tell.
I want to go to Australia more than ever right now. I am looking at study abroad opportunities there. All I can say is, wow.
Oh and notice my perfect alignment. I don't like this way either. I have to ignore it when I see books written this way. Too...perfect. Not natural.
People.
