at least i was more productive today than yesterday. i even vacuumed the downstairs! heh heh. i really can’t be a lazy piece of crap for too long during break, otherwise i get bored and sullen.
i’ve been having a lot of “big thoughts” lately. it would be too hard to try to explain them here, but i’m questioning a lot of things. i don’t think anything external has prompted it, and that’s probably the way it should be. it’s just something i’m working on myself.
something that bothers me a LOT is when a person is arrogant about his/her intelligence. i have a special disdain for this type of arrogance, because intelligence is something that is COMPLETELY UNEARNED. (it should be noted that intelligence and knowledge are quite distinct, but arrogance about knowledge is little better.) if a guy is athletic, for example, at least he works out or plays sports and earns the label of “athletic” in some small way. intelligence is a gift, not a reason to brag. think about that.
for those of you planning a get-together, allow me to recommend Tom’s patented finger food. the ingredients:
- 1 rice cracker
- a bit of mozarella cheese
- some mesquite turkey
- a pecan on top
try it. it’s good.
