what not to do to get ahead...
After exams, classes, and late-night studying orgies in the library I decided I needed a little breather. I went to the local target to pick up a movie. I had in mind Human Traffic, for I had been on a buying spree of my favorites lately (Amelie, Zoolander, and Rules of Attraction) and wanted to secure this little gem to add to my collection. Unfortunately that didn't have it in stock - I bought the next most appropriate thing - Old School (Love... She's a bitch, no???).
Well, the movie's over. After a few drinks I’m feeling rather attractive right now (for the first time in over a year and a half my hair is working for me) - side note: my daily 8-mile runs are giving me that heroin-sunken-cheek-look that has always been so glamorous... And yet I’m all alone.
Sad.
It makes you wonder, though: do you really need other people? It seems I only crave company when I’m intoxicated and, for the majority of the time, besides, I do need to be alone (people can be quite a distraction).
Realistic prediction: I will be a bitter lonely old man.
Desired prediction: I will be an approachable, caring, loving, life-radiating lonely old man.
Either way I’m alone.
Either way it's life.
Either way it is all so worth it...
Tonight’s book recommendations: "the book nobody read" by gingerich; a wonderful account of one man’s search for the extent copies of Copernicus’ 1st and 2nd editions of De revolutionibus; and susan blackmore’s "the meme machine" - taking dawkins theory of the selfish gene a little further….
