Well, by now I’m sure you would have noticed that I haven't really been 'here'. The truth is I have been around the computer. It’s just that I decided not to jump aboard instant messengers or open my browser because work needed to be done. After a week, work still needs to be done, and I missed my friends. So, I have returned to blogging.
And so it came to pass. Test came and went. Don't really know what to think of it. Might turn out good, might turn out not so good. But I did put in a fair amount of reading and later relied on my instincts more. As with most things in life, I could possibly tell you about it in a week or two. It feels as if a lot can change in a week.
I am pretty much starved right now. I don't know why, it’s like lunch had almost no effect on me today, good as it may be. (chicken + seafood combo). So, I haven’t exactly written about what I’ve been doing in my existence of late. Well, just pumping up with the local delicacies, meeting up with old friends, hitting the mall, drawing a bit, playing cube, hanging with the family as well. All the things that I guess I do around here. Will be starting some part-time work next Monday, so I’m quite glad with those, and I’d feel less guilty bumming now. Also got myself a Jamiroquai album as well, pretty much grooving to that now. The more I immerse myself in this medium, the more it seems to inspire me.
Speaking of music, I've been listening to the Decemberists once again, and it's funny.. Because I didn't really like their music in the past, but now I utterly do! Well, I'm glad I'm rediscovering the good music, but it was probably always good to begin with. This is good honest music that uses very traditional songwriting instruments to just make something simple and special, where the artist really puts his soul and influences on the line for other listeners. What we get is a deep conversation thru the quirky sentences that they weave together, all gelled together by a forceful march of instruments that wait not for you if you can't seem to understand their choice of instrumentation. Lovely indeed.
We had a really wonderful dinner just now, and it was great to have guests over. Mom invited Alex and Camille over. Oh, it was so fun to laugh over the dinner table, to just have really in-your-face humor that keeps you back-pedaling because you just say the darndest things after a little prodding… and well, over dinner we guys kinda got questioned what we noticed about women first. Oh crap, I said curves, and well.. while it's on a totally superficial level, I didn't feel a need to talk about her personality and brain matter over the dinner table. Don't know why, but did that make me come across as really shallow?
Hahaha, oh well.. I guess you're entitled to think if I'm shallow, and I kinda know that if I further explain how I'm not shallow, I'm actually re-confirming all suspicions that I am. So don't try too hard folks! One dinner is not enough to cast an accurate depiction of yourself, and not that you should be too concerned about it as well! Don't let it stop you from being yourself, if you hang out with people long enough, you slowly learn more about them, and they too learn more about you. It'll be natural, and you don't need to aim to impress. The longer you are in the business of PR and impressions, I guess the more jaded one becomes and actually doesn't know how to cast more than just a first impression, and that my friends.. is when you start panicking.
On a final note, was just musing to myself while walking somewhere, about how 'real' everything was around us. If I can see something, is it really 'me' seeing it, or is it just a lens capturing reflected light off surfaces, forming an upside down image on the retina which then somehow gets interpreted by the brain as the right side up? So in other words, we could be confined with just what's cast on our retinas (which by now could be anything if you're paranoid enough), or how our brains interpret these so-called images. It can be somewhat spooky if you dwell on it too much, kinda takes the fun out of living.
So there, sucha geeky post. I wonder what will be reported upon tomorrow?
