Idle Mind
I had some free time on my hands so instead of giving into the temptation that is MySpace I decided to write in my livejournal - woo hoo! Sometimes I wish I were more focused on things at hand. I find my mind wandering a lot, even when I'm serious about a goal that I have in mind. I start to feel guilty while I'm playing Solitaire when I know I should be studying instead but I just can't stop clicking the cards mindlessly. What is it about mindless activities that excites me so? I'm serious - you could give me a humongous bubble sheet like you have to fill out on the SATs where you shade a bubble for each letter and I'd be happy. I guess I feel bad because I was in the process of writing this spoken poetry thing for Martin Luther King day where I talked about human rights, minorities, and equality and I thought it was due today, when in reality the day they revealed the winners was today. :(
Anyway, I've been filling out applications and fine-tuning my personal essay for the transfer process. It's kind of scary but therapeutic in a way to be applying to colleges on my own and pick a major I'm excited about instead of doing it because "it's what everyone does." I'm breaking away from the system man, fighting the machine dude, you say you want a REVOLUTION!! On that note, I've been spending a lot of time reflecting on my life. My personal essay for college was this optimistic narrative based on my life and my self-discovery and reconciliation with myself. Then for my Multimedia: Performance class we had to write an Autobiography and then next week we have to perform our Autobiography. All this talk about Michael has got me so damn sick of the kid.
On that I shall call it a night. Thanks for listening. I'll leave you all with this quote by Floyd Dell:
"Idleness is not doing nothing. Idleness is being free to do anything."
