Read Slower

Jun 17, 2005 04:16

I must set aside the notion that nothing ever gets read. I let myself forget that words are pictures too, and that a paragraph with incredible character sometimes contains a world beyond a pretty pretty photo.

I tried to evaluate where my life is heading and I didn't come up with anything permanently coherent but I did come to wonder if others made conscious decisions about the content of their character or if they really are as dense as they look. If we catch the faults and hypocrisy in our lives, does that realization make us want to change ourselves, or are we actually content with being that way.

Some of the random things that I thought of:

~"Do you like sushi" is one of the most important questions I can ask a person I have just met. Because if they say "no", then I know that it's not going to work out.
~Where does art end and pornography begin.
~I like to omit question marks because it makes you question if it really is a question to be answered.
~I don't like taking pictures of myself. I'm waiting for some talented photographer to do it for me.
~I deserted my voice and became more concerned with the way I look.
~People will take your honesty and misconstrue it into gossip and buzz to make themselves feel foremost and exclusive. Because they don't know any better.
~If my first two years in college was learning to settle in, then the next two years will be about growing up and out.
~I'm going to start a garden on the apartment balcony. It is going to be the anomaly within this decadent wasteland. The irony produced from the juxtaposition of generic American architecture and my feral secret garden will be the greatest laughter ever conceived.

You can visit if you want.

~I’m going to Colorado for a week on Sunday with Selena and Avalon to visit Chuck.
~I get to go to Japan in September. I’m hoping to catch some inspiration for my garden there.
