(no subject)
Well, looks like it’s been quite a while since I last posted here anything. Not that I’ve got a lot of cool things to say, well, I mean I kind of do, but It just turns out the farther I travel, the less I want to expound on the benefits of my newly adopted perspectves, concepts and stimuli that are really tricky to be navigated or defined. I will admit though, that after having spent a fair amount of time in Europe I keep noticing that the quality of economic and social assessments, public policies etc. within its confines are pretty much as hit or miss as anywhere else. I mean it’s funny to think about how much I used to romanticize Europe in the past, and I guess the punch line of my newly gained experience is that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. And just a tiny side note about Barcelona: they have their own terrorist attacks out there, and if they have to steal and rob you blind, it makes it a bad place to be. I am glad we managed to spend a few amazing days at Primavera Festival and didn’t get kidnapped or shot by a group of communists the city is swarming with. Also, I never really realized Belle & Sebastian look like a bunch of musty farmers, but of course it doesn’t make them sound any less awesome. I’ve always loved them a whole lot.
More recently I've been having this uncanny feeling where I can see like just as I am going to step out of the elevator, I notice I am on the wrong floor and then quickly jump back in before the doors close. Anyways, no matter how scary the world might be, I’ve been trying to keep my serotonin level high and have come to find out that the more I keep moving and make my brain active, the better I feel about what I am doing with my life.
10 months spent in my new environment have taught me a lot more than 5 years of college. I have much fewer insecurities and problems with awakening my stamina now. I am getting somewhere out there. As much as humanly possible.
I think Jacob the Doctor, Winston the Cat and I became kind of like a really loving family.
We live pretty symbiotically and apparently the promise of our “thing” promises to be really great. We do mesh well and whatnot. We’ve been trying to become environmentalists lately. I guess it’s a pretty classic dilemma to think about (I got inspired by Jonathan Safran Foer’s ‘Eating Animals’ which is totally brilliant and has nothing to do with converting to veganism!!): How much do we value creating a socially comfortable situation, and how much do we value acting socially responsible? No matter how important my socially-responsible ideas are, I gotta wrap this novel up. And yes, I still believe in aliens and ghosts.
