Found By Chance

Once you see this my teacher, you shall be most disappointed. I was active, very active on this blog in October and since then have dropped off. There is a second blog under the user name edulitos that I created as well, but it was has nothing to do with anything, really, just a place to write. Hmm, well I’d love an A, like a B, wouldn’t mind a C, would dislike a D, and would hate an F. That’s my scale of emotions on letters, interesting that, perhaps some scientists should hook me up and monitor what my body does at the mere sight of those capital letters, I’m sure it would be interesting and worth publishing!

Polymath’s are such fascinating people, universal geniuses. Da Vince was one, and yet even he was mystified by place and sensation. It is said that he spend an entire day repeatedly throwing a bell in to the river and taking notes on the noise. It is, without a doubt, this insane behavior that contributed to his genius in many fields, making him the poster-boy for other polymaths.

I don’t know about that sleeping out at the park idea. I stopped by at seven, when it just barely turned dark, and was severely unnerved when I saw that someone was getting bottles out of the trash. Every time he came near me (ten yards haha) I tensed up and gave him “the look.” Well here’s my short entry, I’ll continue to think about it!

Maybe a project that centralizes around places that fuel romance in town? I don’t know, it’s just that I’ll be spending SO much time on the project, I want it to be good and interesting, and not just for the readers, but for me.

I want to tie it in to something we barely understand, like love, and attempt to tie our environment in with those natural wonders that are sprinkled throughout our world…

It’s a rather pressing matter that I decide a project soon. My proposal just doesn’t seem to click for me right now. An inferior idea would be to go back to parks, and spend all available time there, day and night, and keep a log taking in all data of nothing, nothing but watching. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it. I’ll have to decide soon.

Grocery stores are a universal obelisk for both the rich and poor, we all need good. It’s interesting to look in the parking lot and see an expensive Hummer, raised up on superfluous rims, next to a broken down, half- smashed car that’s too old to recognize. Seeing someone well kept in a suit standing side by side with a dirty man in a paint-stained shirt with an unkept beard who tends to scratch himself more than he should. Rather peculiar, but fascinating all the same, both of them want their beans.

And that leads on to the further line of thought, it’s amazing comparing foods with people, analyzing both parties and resulting correlations. Some very interesting articles have popped up that cancer, an infamous killer, is almost purely derivative of diet. Which is fascinating when you think about it, and then you can try matching up the wealthy, the intelligent (a correlation I’m sure,) and every other category with what they eat. Just five minutes, and it will change your perspective on what you munch on!

However, unfortunately, it’s rather dirty when you stop to think about just how many hands are roaming around. How many hands have gripped those grocery carts? You know they don’t wash them! That, combined with food, fruit that they put back, etc, etc, and you’ll probably be a little more sanitary as well when you. Wow, working at a grocery store certainly does change your perspective on everything, doesn’t it?

Another horribly short post, but a post all the same. Parks were a topic of interest. I go there all the time, but it’s rather interesting to see people go enjoy a little manmade excerpt of nature. A falsity, but when you think of man’s take on beauty with cosmetics and surgeries , it’s anything but natural… and thus it would follow the twisted pattern, that unnatural nature is the very best there is.

So is it worth the millions of dollars the nation pours in to maintaining and building parks, money that could be going to starving children, saving thousands and thousands of lives? Well, I’m not a nihilist, but I think so!

Still depressed. So much to do in life, so little time. And facebook, after spending some time learning HTML and familiarizing myself with Javascript, just seems like a better option than this blog. I like unifying effort, not branching. It’s in my personality. But it was ultimately this class, this blog, that inspired me to learn what I have. Neat.

Wow, that “every day” thing won’t work, not if I want to put out quality  rather than quantity. Night everyone!

(Wow, that wasn’t much of either, right?)

I don’t know if I should speak my mind on the matter, for all I know my teacher could be very sensitive after his experience. It is one, needless to say, that I have never experienced and so I would not know the exact amounts of sensitivity known in discussing, but I will dare ahead regardless, and bite the B if I must.

Oh, and I will try to at least post everyday and write a page on those days I feel particularly motivated or inspired for class material. I do like my privacy when delving in to artistic processes, and I find blogs defeat that purpose, but as I’ve said, I will dare ahead. 

But I digress, the purpose of this post can be inferred from the title, as time passes, our ideals change. At 20, anyone that’s not liberal is a coldhearted fool, and at 40 anyone who’s not conservative is an idiot. While I don’t think I’ll succumb to that prediction, people that have twenty years more wisdom than me… have just that, twenty years more wisdom than me.

But I can speculate, and thus I will do so. So I propose the question, will having a newborn child change my instructor’s outlook on the world? I don’t see how it couldn’t but the prediction of exactly how is the hard part. Of course so areas are easy, what will he see now when he looks at sidewalks for instance? He’ll see sidewalks that are dangerous for his child and those that aren’t. He’ll see everything through the eyes and well-being of a child to an extreme, and while many engineers share that vantage point minimally, I don’t see them competing with a new father.

This was short, but in the end, it’s merely a hypothesis.
