the past 2 days have been mighty monotonous. no interesting victims to take pictures with/of, no interesting places to go and no interesting people to meet. sigh. apart from waiting for my driving lessons, i don't have much of an aim in life - for now.
i'm a slob. i just laze and gallivant around town, read, shop, drink coffee and watch movies. i come home and i rest, watch tv and come online. i suppose it's not very interesting, which is why i don't blog about my day, unlike other blogs. you know what's the sad part? i somehow enjoy this temporary aimless-ness of my life. so shoot me. i guess it's a change from the fast paced environment we've all strangely, subconsciously assimilated, which is why i enjoy it.
ever heard a song, had a reaction, but an hour later, you forgot the tune and lyrics of the song and that mighty pisses you off? yeah. that feeling. i've had it countless times and i will not rest in peace until i remember what i wanted to remember. however, taking a different approach, i try to take note of my reaction to it, and not just the song.
see, my dutch friend introduced me to some classical music, and of course, no one really remembers classical music after the 1st listen. it takes at least a few times. so i knew that and i decided to tell him my reaction instead of what i thought of the symphony. it kinda worked as i realized that's more important than listening to the hum of the cello or the clash of the cymbals or bongs of the timpani. my reaction and how that piece of music makes me feel is definitely more worthwhile.
a book wouldn't be a bestseller if it didn't speak to people and connect with them. oh well. i've finished my book. in 2 days. aiya. damn. have to go and scout for more books.
i've been thinking. what's scary is not how different 2 people are, but how similar 2 people can get. then you just lose your individuality. a friend once told me that i shouldn't think i'm so unique because somewhere out there, there's bound to be someone just like me, and you, and you and you. it kinda scared me as i didn't like the idea of someone being a "cut and paste" version of me. or that i'm some carbon copy of that person. think about it. so, as long as i know no one else like me, i'll choose to think i'm unique. and you should too, because you are.
perhaps that's why opposites attract?
