Hola, mis amigos! Sorry for detaching from the blogosphere for a while. I should really apologize to my brain for getting hooked on shameful ABC sitcoms and watching the latest, and ever crazy season of "Weeds." I digress. It's good to be back!
The month of July has been fairly horrible for myself and the rest of the world. Starving masses in Africa, slaying of innocents in Norway, and the United States debt ceiling ordeal are only a few of the colossal failures of the world as of late. Take my word for it, don't do what I foolishly did and watch the news, "Another Earth," and discuss mortality over a weekend. Hot weekends should be reserved for detoxing and cooling down, not hyperventilating and chocolate amped anxiety binges.
After listening to The Cinematic Orchestra's "To Build a Home" on repeat for a while and slipping into an emotional episode, I took a walk. Being outdoors and losing oneself in scenery can instill a sense of clarity. I thought about all of the troubles in my life and how they are so profoundly minute in comparison to the world's. Sometimes I get so lost with follies that I lose track of the important. I'd like to help people and contribute something to the world. One day at a time, I will give something to people. Whether it be a big or small act, I'd like to give something to my home. Too often people are unkind and think that others' problems are not their own. Actual problems generally affect more than one person and need extra help to be triumphed over. The greatest problem plaguing the world is apathy.
