Sometimes I stare right through people without recognition. This happened today with my friends Eric and Jacob. They were waving right at me and it took me several moments to realize who they were. It's interesting how a person can get so consumed in their own thoughts that they can't see the outside world.
My English class is on the fourth floor. I was getting ready to sit down with I immediatly stood up and was like "Eeeeeee!" My class looked at me and I replied, "Sorry. That was me freaking out for a moment because I realized I don't have my paper." lol. Then I went and got it.
I've been feeling really mature of lately. I won't often say that. I think it's because of my posters that I have in my room.
I decided for quite some time that the computer is one of the biggest crutches EVER, in the terms of communication and addiction. I've been trying to stay away from the computer in some aspects. I'm not sure I'm succeeding.
I love old music. Example: from before the 50s. I love that old, static sounding music where all the voices are so classic and they sing of simple things. So much music today is complicated. I'm not saying I don't like it I'm just observing. I find it very interesting the difference between todays music and movies and the music and movies from the 50's. Everything was so proper and what not. The celebrities today do not have those classic looks. They do not have those classic voices. What happened? I guess it's an obvious answer but it's so strange how everything changed so drastically and how advanced we've become.
When I was taking Intro to Religious Studies my Professor told us that the generation today knows 40,000 words less than his generation. Whereas we know more about technology than his generation ever will. At first I felt that he was being overdramatic. Except the more I think about I know he's right. We have words like "bootylicious" and "za" in the freaking dictionary. What the hell? It's so weird.
The more I listen to classic music and watch classic movies the more I feel we are losing. I know we are gaining so much at the same time, it's just that the world has become so materialistic. I'm not saying I am not a materialistic person it's just that I sometimes wish I wasn't. You learn to appreciate more when you don't have stuff.
