Alright so here's the deal:
I'm going to share some music videos with you.
I'm sure by now that everyone knows that I'm something of a nerd, but what I'm about to say quite possibly is one of the nerdiest things you'll ever bear witness to:
My new hobby is browsing the Word of the Day archives at Dictionary.com.
I don't know where it came from, but I'm suddenly obsessed with language. I want to expand my vocabulary. I want to learn several new languages. I want to write and write and write and speak and speak and speak. I was reticent, at first, to regularly write on my blog here, as blogs have always seemed to me a bit solipsistic and egoistic. As with most things in life, however, writing is one of those skills that requires constant practice. My job requires very little in the way of writing and I always fail at keeping up on a handwritten journal due to the fact that my hand can't keep up with my brain. As such, I'm taking it upon myself to vomit word soup upon the internet.
I'm back in southern Kansas again this week for work. It's starting to feel really weird coming down here. I've spent so much time here this year that it's almost starting to feel like a second home. I don't mean that in a good way. Every visit, now, feels like I'm temporarily stepping into an alternate life. No Hopkins, no bosses, no friends. Just me and Kansas. Admittedly, it does offer the side benefit of uninterrupted introspection. Every once in a while, when the weather is temperate and there is a slight breeze to stir the stillness of the night, I'm able to steal a fleeting moment of tranquility as I burn down another life-shortening cigarette. I cherish those moments.
I fully realize that, oh, everyone says this. But. I don't understand people. I really don't. I don't understand their constant need to seek validation from everyone else. I don't understand their reckless propensity to hurt those around them. I don't understand why they strive to temper their happiness with misery. I don't understand their cowardice and their lies. I don't understand their drama. Stop tearing each other down, start lifting each other up. We can be so much better.
