Cologne and Classical Music

I don't subscribe to horoscopes. I don't fit in boxes. I can't be described. I purposely don't do things the right way, sometimes I don't do them at all. I don't grasp laws. I don't judge...because when it comes down to it, who am I to do so. I do work. I pay the toll to exist in society, although sometimes I don't see what the point is, especially when society is terribly confused. I wear a watch, but I'm not always on time...who decided that we have to live by the clock anyways?

What I do do (*chuckle* doo-doo), is exist. I was born, I grew up and I exist. I constantly perceive the world around me. Sometimes I'm impressed, often times I'm not...especially when I find myself observing my fellow human beings. I don't watch the news, I don't really watch tv, for it can be the source of much frustration, fear, dismay, fright, anger (I could go on, but you can fill in the blanks). But when I do watch tv it's mostly just for the cartoons and comedies. I definitely don't watch the news (especially when they started using TMZ in some of their segments); is that really part of the "news"?

I don't subscribe to the stardoms and fanfare, e.g.: the royal wedding...really...really?

I sometimes wonder when I look around at everything, is this the best that we can do? For us to be fallen angels, or god's creations, you'd think we'd hold ourselves and each other to better standards, but who am I to say. In my eyes we are all primates, trying to figure it out. Some of us think we control things. We think that with all of our money and shares in the market, we are better than others but in reality, those people are the same as everyone else...organisms in an environment, just trying to live (I think I've heard or seen that somewhere before).

It's amazing though. Sometimes something comes across my perceptive field that makes a new neural connection. It could be a new solar system that scientists have found, or a discovery about the way that something works, like fire. Do you have any idea what fire is on the molecular level? Ponder it, think about it, concentrate on it, or just google it...you may be surprised with the results. Or maybe you won't be. But when I think about the beauty that goes on, that is hidden from the human eye, it makes me cower in prostration (I think that word fits there). It will make you want to behold nature in all it's gloriousness. I will be forever impressed.

But in the meantime, all I can do is exist. I let the curiosity of just wanting to know what's next fuel me to keep existing. To keep perceiving, and most importantly (at least to me), to keep learning, because that's what it's all about...isn't it?
