In the "Grand Scheme of Things".....
(first of all....side note....notice how whenever I use an ellipsis I use 4 or 5 dots, and never six. Interesting story behind that, but I won't go into it now) So at first I was going to write about what I did tonight and whatnot, but then I decided that it's not really that interesting. I know that it would be perfectly acceptable and perhaps expected that I would bore you, the reader, in this forum, but that's just not what I feel like doing right now. So instead I'm going to mention a couple things coming up in my life and then hopefully go a bit deeper philosophically. The coming week is going to be pretty busy for me. I've got a lot of work to do before this coming Thursday....but.....this Thursday I get to go home for a nice little 5 day weekend I like to call Fall Break. I've been ooking forward to going home for awhile, and it should be nice since I haven't been there since August. Monday I get to go see Stephen Hawking give a lecture (free ticket from work....heck yeah!), so that should be pretty interesting. Then Tuesday I have an interview with GE Aircraft Engines. I'm hoping to do a co-op next spring and summer, so this is the first step, and my first real interview period. I'm a bit nervous, but I hope all goes well. I've been getting a bit tired and frustrated with school lately, so I think going on co-op would be a welcome change of pace. Anyway, like I said....busy week, blah blah, go home Thursday! So I guess that brings me back to where I started, or rather didn't start. Why didn't I write about my day and my Friday night? Quite frankly, what does it matter? Do you really want to know what I did? Honestly, I don't really want to know what I did, and I was the one living through it. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but you catch my drift, right? Right. I've made the brilliant observation that there are a lot of people in the world, and I'm only one of them. It really makes you (me) feel insignificant. I guess really, this whole blog thing.....my sacred little piece of the internet devoted entirely to what I'm thinking.....is sort of hypocritical in that sense. Who am I to tell all of you about my life? Why does what I have to say matter? Really, if I had great and profound things to say, then I would be saying them in a much grander forum than this. So yeah.....hopefully I'll be able to express some deeper and more thought provoking revelations than, "oh yeah, this is what I had for lunch today (grilled cheese, sour cream and onion chips and Mountain Dew if you must know)" or whatever. Hopefully I'll cause you to think about some things in a different way, but if not, then oh well. I can always fall back on what everyone is best at: talking about themselves.....
