One day, the thought of a geocentric universe will sexually excite me and I will understand WHY

 When I was in middle school/jr high, I religiously taped all of the Inuyasha episodes that came on Adult Swim, even repeats. Last weekend, I discovered all of these old Inuyasha tapes. I thought, oh hey, something as background noise so I can do my biology outcomes. But then, as the series progressed I became so engaged in it I forgot all about my homework. I had forgotten how much I really loved it! Now I understand it better, because guess I've grown up a little since 2003.

In any case, I was getting so depressed and hung up about how I would forget how much I would love history and politics. I would forget about all of the facts, details, dates, and eventually stop being interested. How could I do a job indifferently and ignore the hooks in my heart? But after watching Inuyasha again and realizing that I still loved it, I thought perhaps there are some things that I will never stop loving.

As the tides ebb and flow so do the whims of people change capriciously. Maybe one day I will stop caring about British politics, and when I watch C-SPAN I will view it like 80% of America and switch to another channel. But I think it will be okay, because I am taking a hiatus from it for pragmatic reasons. For now, I have things that I need to concentrate on, like working towards being a pharmacist. When I have the time, and the money, I will go back to it. Maybe someday I'll remember that once upon a time the thought of Russian hegemony once made my heart beat quicken. If not, it won't really matter because I will have moved on to more relevant things.

So I guess instead of sacrificing my heart it's more like I'm hiding it away in a time capsule? I really hope I find it again.
