Things That Matter vs. Stupid Stuff

I'm blogging right now instead of sleeping. Blogging matters less than sleep.

I have to wake up tomorrow and get going on a bunch of stuff that matters. Then come home and do stupid stuff.

Classes matter too. But stupid stuff is more fun.

I was cleaning today and I found an item made by a person at a time when I thought it mattered.

It was a cd. And I thought it mattered. A bunch of stupid stuff replaced the stuff that mattered.

Stupid stuff sucks.

Matter is relative. What matters to one person is stupid stuff to another. Everything that matters to me is stupid stuff to someone else. Guaranteed.

Some things matter so much that I don't care who thinks it's stupid stuff. They matter.

Matter is absolute. Here's a shout-out to all those who do things that matter, even if others see it as stupid stuff. Whoop whoop.

Stupid stuff is stupid though.

If I had a prosthetic leg I would try to trick people.

Things that suck

The current count is at 5,633. Wow! A lot of things suck!

A few select items:

Smelly apartments
Not liking what everyone else likes
Getting clean things dirty
Making dirty things clean
Uncertainty
Regret

that spells SNGMUR. That, rearranged, spells MR. GUNS. And that's me.

it's summa tam

Summary bits:

I learned the word "pile" from apartment 7 sometime. I thought it was weird, but now I feel like one. I've been a pile so far this summer. And it has been great.

Great picture bits:

"Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them."

Intelligence

Things that mystify me, given in complete sentences, followed by poetry:

- Some things make no difference until they change.
- I think that some things will make a difference when they change, so I keep them from changing, but they wouldn't actually make a change, even if I let them.
- I'm a grown-up and I can make my own decisions, like going and getting Chinese food whenever I want.
- Not a complete sentence: Wanting to do things, but not ever doing them, thus showing that I don't actually want to do them.
- Sometimes I miss things that weren't that great. Nostalgia isn't just remembering the past, it's remembering a perfect past.
- I say "like" too much.
- Artificial credibility and faked confidence are NOT REAL. But they're valid in a few situations. Not all situations. And many situations that might seem to qualify actually don't.
- I can't even control what I say.
- I can't even control what I say!!
- How much of what I do and work on now will matter in fifty years?
- Ten years? Five?
- Tomorrow?
- Things that seem to be a constructive and good use of time may actually be a waste.
- A waste! That's a strong word!
- Classes are over and I didn't fail any of them!
- Not one!
- I'm probably wrong about most people I know.
- I should have said shfifty years.

Once I found a shiny pearl,
Inside an oyster shell.
But then the oyster ate it up,
And I was all, "oh well."
