I have, yet again, created another blog.
Surprise surprise.
I'm not sure if it's the reading that's been getting to me, or the fact that I've had too much time to think (hence, the reading) or the life-threateningly boring pace that my course is going at that makes my brain generate an overwhelming quantity of insecurities about life.
I'm putting most of my bets on the books, but a little on everything else just to play it safe.
Thanks to my diligent instructors, who never fail to release us from the constraints of our time-table before the day actually ends, I've had sufficient time to finish 4 books, 3 magazines, and a little bit of "The Time Traveler's Wife". Those 4 books being, "Small Gods" by Terry Pratchett, "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman, "Anasi Boys" also by Neil Gaiman, and "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett AND Neil Gaiman.
Is it me, or is there some kind of trend in the books I've been reading?
Not the least surprising is that all four books deal with belief, gods, and humanity in general. I guess it's in the midst of reading that I formulate too many thoughts about how my life should be led and what's going to happen to me when I die. I also guess that it must be the same way for many other people since I don't wish to be alone in my thoughts.
I sometimes wish I didn't think so much, and I sometimes wish I could think what other people think. I'll think that beneath the innocent and plastic smile that everyone in my world wears, is a series of thought processes that generate enough electricity to power a small town on the coast of Africa. And then I'll think, nah.
Then again, maybe it's because I think of people in this manner that makes them not want to start a conversation with me. That by some link from my thoughts to the cosmos that unites us all do other people around me sense that punity that I view them with.
Or maybe it's because I always leave MSN on while I sleep so people can never get me even though it says "I'm Online" when what it should say is "I'm Asleep".
I have much to apologise for in that case.
