So after reading my brother and sister's blogs...I've noticed that I'm the only one of mother's kids that doesn't like to reflect and think too deeply about my feelings or what's going on inside my head. So I started wondering...what do I think about...and to tell the truth I really don't know. There's nothing I really sit down and think about or reflect on. I like to live my life one moment at a time and not look forward to the future or look back at the past too much. Of course there are always times when I do take a gander into these places and look at what I've done or what I want to do. But for the most part I'm usually only concerned with what's going on at that particular moment. I've also never been one to think to deeply about stuff going on around me or stuff I have noticed to find deeper meaning, such as David's "rain" post. Nor have I ever been very much of a "feeling" person, like Amanda's "A new chapter" post..I can't come up with stuff like that. It just isn't there. This is probably why I am majoring in something mathematical and why I am in technical english. My mother says her children are creative writers. I agree that the two older ones are. I never really have been much of a writer. Just like this post has taken me an hour to write...ha...
But that's enough of that. Classes are going pretty good as of this moment. I am not taking a liking to my English class, who would have thought that. Love my Calculus II and Psychology class. Psychology is something really interesting. I actually thought about switching my major to Psychology. I like learning why people do certain things and what makes them tick. Littlejohn and I got high speed cable/wireless internet to go in our room. We are splitting the cost with our neighbors across the hall. There has been nonstop online xbox and PS3 gaming since we got it.
And as for the Catalina Wine-Mixer quote, mother dearest, it's from the movie Stepbrothers.
Well I'm tired of writing and thinking...I think it's about time to get some gaming on. If you have any suggestions for my next post...feel free to tell. peace

Ben, you are just awesome! Just awesome! This posting sums up your role in our family and why we love you so much!
ReplyDeleteI think it is simply to lack of drug and alcohol use. Drugs and over use of alcohol cause you to fight weird demons. Some of us over come those and others continue to fight them. That being said, we look to find inner truth of what life is about now. I like to create because we have seen what slow simple life can cause me. It is just like when I was in the 2nd grade. I would get in trouble because I couldn't sit still. I was smarter than the other kids, so I always finished work early which caused me to have nothing to do, so I was bored. Maybe the same thing happen at older age, It was just on a bigger scale. Also, remember the gambling movie that came out a few years back, their was a quote about losing it all. The guy goes on to say it isn't about how much you could win, but about how much you could lose and still survive. What an interesting view.
ReplyDeleteBefore mom gets on here and says no, Ben you are so creative, blah blah blah. I agree that you shelter off deep thought. There is nothing wrong with that either. Yet, as far as the writing, I find myself constantly listening and reading more material now, this is what causes me to think and search more now. Shit, maybe we are just older and think more about the future. Hell it could be, I am just in Pikeville and don't have shit else to do but think. (I don't have a PS3) It could be the difference in our dads. Maybe it is that we were raised in different times.
Last, don't switch to Pyschology. People are in my office every day with that degree and can't find a job any where. The degree is tough if you don't get a PHd
one more thing...being a doer and not a thinker will most likely make you more successful anyway
