Seems like I didn't have anything to say for the most of May. What happened? Usually I write on the weekends - Saturday nights or Sunday morning. Instead I got out into the world, visited with family, discovered the city, begin preparing for my summer trip, study for a math test (not really, but I did watch some videos and do random questions), work very randomly in the evenings, and playing with multimedia gadgets. Weeknights are usually spent either substituting, preparing for the next day, or simply relaxing at the end of the day.
Been watching two TV series on Netflix - Top of the Lake and the new season of Arrested Development. This is on top of my random cartoons (really enjoying Justice League Unlimited).
Okay on to the introspective moments. Just quick preamble - I hope my language doesn't come off as judgmental but it's entirely possible it will. I'm just writing down some thoughts that have been on my mind for a while. So, basically I'm saying I might sound like a dick. I'm trying hard to change.
Contemplation. Do people actually engage in this activity? I'm not talking about worrying or gossiping. I'm talking about taking an idea (which can be a memory) and actively think about it in a serious way. This doesn't require huge intellect or emotional maturity. It does require dissecting a thought and not simple accepting things at face value.
Don't know where I'm going with this. There are just parts of society that I leave me puzzled. I know people have circumstances and histories that affect their behavior but still... Guess I'm apart of the cross section of society that prefers civility to arguments. I know civility won't solve many problems because oppression, privilege, and equality require some sort of confrontation and change. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the discourse in mundane activities. I think what I'm trying to say is don't be rude, especially on the Internet. There's really no need for it.
My big revelation is this - if people actually thought, contemplated, their actions we'd all be better off.
This hasn't been as successful I wished. I might delete part of this.
