Random Thoughts
Searched for people feeling 'content' on imood.com, and I find that they are mostly female. Is it an innate ability of the female gender to feel content easier? And yet I have realised that we, too, often think and analyse more than is good for us, and get irked by tiny things. Irony?
One of the people mentioned above caught my eye, mainly because he looked darn good in the photo. Visited his blog and was impressed and fascinated (yet also a little intimidated) by the highly intellectual and artistic mind behind the pretty face. Shocker: this guy was born in '87! Pity: he's gay. =P Question: I wonder if there're any guys in this little city who is like that? Someone who can impress me with his linguistic ability. Ok, I sound all hoity toity when I say that, but of all the guys I've known and know, perhaps only one has impressed me with his standard of English...and yet his grades for GP fluctuated constantly because he often used big words in the wrong context. =P I dunno. I've always had a thing for the arty (farty) type: who writes poems and verse (NOT cheesy drippy ones), reads a ton of chim books (by this I do not mean Harry Potter, thick as they come), preferably good at art and maybe even photography... Eeeks! GEEK! You scream. But I like! Haha. Oh, and he must also have a heart of gold and a heart for God. Geez. High expectations, eh? But, like I always say, love overcomes all things! And I sincerely believe that a good heart is better than a brilliant mind and/or a pretty exterior. =)
Ok, I digressed (as I often do). Anyhow, this guy's just really unique. He's talented, brilliant, arty farty, throughly nice, quite fit, and is not angry at the world as I would think people in his position might be (maybe I'm simply ignorant...afterall I don't have any gay friends!), and he's only 17. Wow. A little complacent, maybe. Haha.
Oh, did I mention that he's a Brit? I have a thing for Brits. I dunno. It's the accent, maybe. I love Brit authors, who often beat around the bush a lot getting to the point, but the way there is fun and interesting. Europeans too, and Australians, New Zealanders (oooh xP)...just not Americans. I don't mean to be racist or anything. I can't quite explain it. Maybe I've bought into the picture of America being the greedy, big-bad-wolf superpower. Well, in my mind, American has sort of become mainstream (largely) and I have this streak in me that goes against the mainstream, even though in person I'm hardly the avant garde.
Ah well. |
