To His Coy Mistress

So on twitter, Marit Larsen was all like “I love being 25. I have the advantages of being an adult, but I still get to act like a child whenever I want.”

Then someone responded with a link to this blog post:

Talk about being a serious buzzkill.

Those little things…

  • I subscribed to Jewel and Marit Larsen’s twitter feeds. Marit talked about how Let the Right One In was a great vampire movie. Which it is. She has good taste in movies.
  • I parked my Honda Accord in between two Honda Accords. I made a connect four of Accords, because there was another Accord parked next to us as well.
  • Not studying for finals makes taking them more interesting. I get a little rush when I look at the exam and wonder if I can solve any of the problems.
  • I’m kind of worried about this analysis final tomorrow, but I’m not studying for it, so go figure. I was reading the Tao Te Ching rather than studying for either of my finals this weekend. It sure makes life a little more relaxing that way.
  • Summer plans are slowly materializing, but I still don’t know if I should take this job or wait for something that might be able to at least cover living expenses for the summer.
  • I really need something to inspire me. Life has seemed so meaningless the last month or more. I’ve stopped caring about almost everything, and it makes me sad.

Tao Te Ching, Ch. 47

Without stirring abroad
One can know the whole world;
Without looking out of the window
One can see the way of heaven.
The further one goes
The less one knows.
Therefore the sage knows without having to stir,
Identifies without having to see,
Accomplishes without having to act.
