all in under 20 minutes
im tired, tired of being admired, tired of love uninspired, im just tired.
this has been the longest shortest day i can remember. i never want to leave athens to come here, but i keep doing it over and over again. why is that? is college really all that important? I guess my parents think so, since they are spending lots and lots of money on it. i wish there were an easier way to get a job nowadays. i have discovered a very effective arrangement of stretches though. it works everything of mine that needs work...well, everything with my body that is...there is something very pleasing about sequence, starting at the toes and working your way up part by part until you get to the head. i wonder if anyone else would find it as satisfying or benefitial as i do? ah, who cares! nobody that reads these silly little entries of mine anyway.
i thought of something today. in my philosophy class, my professor opened up the forum of discussion concerning humanity's superiority of evolution, i.e. suggested that humans have developed more fully than any other animal. then he mentioned something about einstein's brain. he said that einstein's brain was actually 1/3 smaller than a "normal" human brain. this comment reminded me of something that troy was talking about in class. he was comparing two masters of different styles, one i think was tai chi an the other was classical karate-do, and he mentioned that the karate master looked very strong and capable but looked as though he was not in peak shape: his gut protruded and he looked very heavy. then he said that the tai chi master seemed very small, not weakly or scrawny but- and then i added "he looked like he didnt have anything that he didnt need" and troy said "right! thats a very appropriate way to say it" it made me think that, in terms of brain size, einstein had a much smaller brain, according to my philosophy teacher, than most others of his species. it seems then that you could apply the same principle, that he didnt have anything that he didnt need. mabey it isnt true that humans are superior because we have a better developed brain. mabey it is true that we are inferior because we have an over-developed brain! Im going to have to go to class soon, so ill cut this train of thought short and let you make of it what you will, oh my faithfull readers!
this is for amy, so if you're not my amy, you have no reason to read this, unless you delight in the mushy and emotional particulars of my life. Thank you very much for goving me your heart. no one has ever taken the time to string up stars for me. that just goes to show how special you are. thank you also for the food, which i appreciate almost as much as i do your affection. i wish that i could bring the stars closer to you, but i dont have the power yet. it will have to wait for another time, as long as you can wait with it. instead, i will send you my heart. i love you, my one, my own, my pre...uh...darling! i will call when i am done today. sleep well, my only lover.
