pompousity irks me
WELL! Of all the pompous asses...I'm currently in a proper mood to blog with my most imperious tone of old. Haven't done so in a long while. Anyway. Abit of tongue in cheek never did hurt anyone.
1. I listened to a recording of my primary school band's performance for their Prize giving ceremony. AND, wait for it, they're GOOD. I wasn't in band in primary school though.
2. I've been thinking about some stuff lately. About how it's always the small things that do us in. Ever wonder how mothers always seem to know when you're lying to them?? I've been observing...and yes. It's actually rather obvious to guess your current mood. Body fidgiting, shifting of the eyes...even the lack of any movement. Or the perfect facade of nonchalance. All can hint at discomfort with your current surroundings.
The need for Man to conceal his real feelings seems to be one that is ingrained. Whether good intentions or bad, Man conciously (or not) tries to behave the way they perceive others demand from them. Such behaviourial traits inevitably leads to discontent, mistrust...the whole list of adjectives is unfanthomable.
And yet, such actions can also bear good tidings. Hurt is prevented, for awhile at least, in the people you feel uncomfortable with, but am too 'nice' to voice out your 'concerns'. But in the end, discrimination arises...Pandora was one itchy hand, as my mom would say.
This seems like a terribly pessimistic post. And it is, but I'm fully entitled to be boring. Stuff of the legends and myths. I like them though some people think it's boring. Stories like Odyseuss and King Arthur. Greek mythology and English history. All my posts are pretty random. Somehow, I just can't bring myself to post mundane stuff about what I do everyday.
