The Complete and Intimate Inner Workings of My Mind (In a way)

ok, well, the title sort of lies. i just wanna talk about the uses that i've been putting my mind to lately. for one, i'm trying to teach myself a bit o' basic spanish out of a library book. i just want to get acquainted with the language, because it's becoming so widely used. since i take japanese in school, i don't have the pleasure of learning from a teacher, so obviously i'm not going to get very far. but still, it'll be useful just to know some basic sentence structure, common vocab & phrases and the like. i will persevere!!!!!! anyway, just wanted to share that with ya guys.

another thing that i've been thinking about lately is.....well...everything. I do a lot of thinking normally. sometimes i just sit down and think. i think about how many people there are in this world. meditate on this, my dear readers - there are billions and billions of people who don't know that you exist. the same goes for you and others. a man in India could be getting run over by a bus right now. a girl in france may have just learned how to knit from her grandmother. stop for a second. ........ someone has just died. someone else has just been born. the next Mozart could have just signed up for his very first piano lesson. i guess what i'm trying to say is that everyone - yes that means YOU - should just take some time every day and let yourself feel what others are feeling right now. mourn with the grieving, laugh with the joyful. hope for the best and remember that everything will get better. peace out, dudes.

I'll be practicing my vocab if ya need me :-{ ) (i hope i have permission to borrow your mustachioed smiley, kit)

Adios,
Ali
