It's a really hot day. You fan yourself with a large book or similarly shaped object, intending the air movement you generate will cool you down. But does the kinetic act of fanning yourself raise your blood's temperature enough to negate the desired cooling effect?
You're about to do something your friend really wants to do but can't. For example, you've been invited to go on a holiday to the north coast and he's not. You tell him that after your trip you'll organise a camping trip and include him. You're really just blowing hot air to make him feel better. You're being a good friend by trying to make him feel better but you're also not being sincere. Is insincerity being a bad friend? Do these things cancel each other out? Is it more of one or the other at all?
I have an irrational fear that if I play in the dirt then scratch my bum and then rub my eyes, I will ingest tapeworm eggs. I learnt that this happens to poor African kids when I watched a documentary when I was 7 or 8.
I sortof want to forget everything I've been planning to do and study to become a dietician and save fat English kids. See: "Generation Xxl" and "Supersize vs Superskinny" on Channel 4.
I think that blogging comes with this stigma that it's really "emo" (emo in the generalised sense as used in 2007/08 , where anything as inoffensive as a side-fringe = emo). You know when you have too much time to think about everything (e.g. the meaning of life) and you go a little bit crazy? If you write that shit down and publish it in a really direct style then of course you're gonna come across as "emo"! I try not to do it... it makes me feel stupid because I tend to find a solution a couple days later and feel better about what I'm going to do next anyway. I've been through this angst-go-round cycle of maniacal thought processes a few times this holiday. They usually end in the same way: Stop worrying about the bigger picture, think about what's now or what's next, act accordingly.
I'm looking forward to Uni starting, football season, Usyd band comp. I work better when I'm on the move a lot, when downtime is a treat to be savoured.
