So I was thinking today. I've become much more apathetic. It's a mixed blessing.
Things that have changed:
1) I don't read much anymore. I used to blaze through a new book as soon as I got my hands on it, but now I do very little leisure reading. And even when I do, I don't get caught up in them. I just read a few things every now and then with large gaps in between.
2) Politically, I really don't care anymore. I still hold the same views, but I just don't bother trying anymore. It's an uphill battle really, and I just can't fight the same fights over and over. I'm no activist. I don't even know if I'll vote this year (well, the reasons for that are a little different).
3) I don't listen to alot of new music. I used to be a music fiend. Due partly to the difficuly in acquiring new music, I just listen to the same stuff over and over. It's quite troublesome.
4) I don't really play music anymore. I guess once I got a roommate I didn't want to play guitar all the time. And I don't have all my instruments with me, so it's tough to play. Thus my skill and my creativity have declined.
5) Things don't bother me as much. I don't think people would call me emo now. But that involves such an apathy. I can't stand it.
6) On the bright side, I think I've acquired more of this strange thing they call "life experience." I'm more knowledgable. Then again, I don't have that same thirst for knowledge, as if I've reached my saturation point.
7) I'm more outgoing, in my own shy way.
All this means that I'm becoming brain-dead. I used to detest that. I still do, but I lack the initiative to make myself detest it enough.
Maybe it's all this French. It's making me go insane.
