Wahahahaha... I shouldn't even be on this... I should be gathering my notes, preparing for my kickass presentation tomorrow, doing my homework, brushing my teeth, cleaning my room, getting into shape, writing my award-winning novel...

On second thought, I take back the brushing teeth thingy.

Oh well. On the bright side, I'm practicing typing with more than one finger without looking at the keyboard! Yay! (trust me, if it weren't for spell-check you'd be reading a different language.)

I was reading this article on TheSite.org (check it out, great place) about how the joker or the clown of a group aren't taken seriously when they have problems. As in deep mental doodoo (emotional trauma and the like). Think about it. The person with the gags, with the jokes, who makes you laugh and/or roll your eyes... The guy/gal who always has that big smile (or maniacal grin, take your choice)- with problems like depression?

Sure, I may be taking a rather extreme/stereotypical view here, but still. Humans are creatures of habit. We get used to people behaving/reacting in certain ways. So when that person changes, do you notice?

I'm confused too.

People hardly spend any time in the present. They're either thinking of the past ('I should have done this, could have done that...') or the future ('What if... I have to... worryworry...'). So, it leads to situations like 'Woah! You didn't use to be that tall!' (take it metaphorically.) They don't notice the said person changing bit by bit each day. One day they look up by accident and finally see.

So, yeah. Em. In conclusion... er.

Focus on what is in front of you, because it sure won't be there forever. There's plenty of time to worry about the future tomorrow.

Good night all. I still need to clean the keyboard...
