(no subject)
I just finished watching the movie "pi" and have to say that it was a decent movie, nothing extraordinary, and not too boring. It's a black and white independent film which is about this mentally unstable mathemetician (I think he's taking non-medicinal drugs but I'm not sure) who discovers some elusive 216-digit number which several groups want because it is the answer to their problems. It is a very abstract movie which is why many intelligent and artsy people will enjoy it...but I must say the plot is a tad shallow.
Bilal recently bet me 5$ that I cannot run a 5:40 mile by the end of the school year. For some reason I got the feeling that he really believed I could do it; the kind of motivation I was looking for is the kind where someone doesn't believe I can accomplish something. To remedy this problem, I turned to Andrew and bet him 10$ I could run a faster mile than him by the end of the school year. Andrew was hesitant at first because he didn't think he could win the bet...he finally agreed, but once again I don't feel any motivation because Andrew already thinks I'm going to win. I don't know what to do, I guess I just need to dig up the motivation from inside of me since I can't find it externally. If anyone actually believes that they can run a faster mile than me by the end of the school year (I think Amon's got a chance), than please let me know and we can make a friendly wager.
This past Sunday was spent mainly on my bed, in thought, as so many boring days end up for me. I had absolutely nothing in the world to do. I didn't want to go on my computer, I didn't want to play video games, I didn't feel like doing homework (this feeling will last until graduation), I didn't feel like reading, I had no reason to go outside, I almost started exercising...but then couldn't find my motivation, I didn't even feel like smoking. The only thing left for me to do, was lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling, occasionally nodding off for a few minutes. I actually have so much time to think by myself, with nothing else to do, almost every day. I cannot even explain what I think about, because I honestly do not know...mostly just day dreaming.
Tomorrow is another day...another day without plans, and without cares, and without anything in the world to do. Can't say I'm too excited.
