The three best forms of expression? Love, happiness, and laughter.
So Robo leaves real soon, and since this is the only place I get to be gay and say how I feel, I'm certainly going to miss the shit out of him. Time with your good friends always seems to be too short, you know? I can't even begin to tell everyone how much that one person has affected me, everything I wouldn't know about without him. I'll miss you dude.
While we're on the subject; I've been reading a new book lately that was a gift from Robo, Hermann Hesse's "Siddhartha". This book is without parallel in my opinion. Magnificently simple to read but unbelieveably complex to understand, I recommend it to any and everyone with an open mind.
It's become astounding to me the little amount of knowledge it requires to function in our society. I'll give my case in point here without being a total douche, but there's a girl in a class with me at school. When asked if she was liberal or moderate she said "what's that?" to which I replied "are you serious?" Most people know only what they need to function, and disregard the rest. I don't get how people can be born without a drive in them to seek knowledge of things around them, I can't deal with that kind of ignorance any more. Are people really content only knowing what they know? God that's depressing.
Look at me, I'm starting to sound like a Buddhist.
I'm starting to feel like a Buddhist too I have to say, I feel a lot more at peace in the last few weeks than I have ever felt before, and a lot more understanding. Who knows where I'm going this week...
