Everything Changes, But It All Really Just Stays The Same
So it's a matter of perspective or is it? I see everything as cyclic, at least on some meta level. Sure I do something different at work everyday, but I get up at the same time every morning and get home at the same time, to pretty much do the same thing every night. I go to different places, but end up getting myself into the same situations as I always do. Perhaps the circumstances are different, but the form is always similar.
This makes me believe that a lot of human behaviour (or mine at least) must be genetically based. I construct my reality and environment to suit my genetic tastes. That being said, the nurture side does play a role. Sure I went to school, and that may make me prone to certain things. But the reason I went? Because I'm good at math, something which has to be there to begin with before being fostered. Donc, c'est un boucl.
I've been meaning to write a blog for awhile, but life has a funny way of getting in the way of things. Does anyone else find that it's easy to get caught in a loop? Not just with an activity, as I've gone over, but in terms of thinking. Repeating the same thought process, coming to the same conclusion, but feeling obliged to do it all over again. Perhaps that's why people are so good with computers, because all they are is are loops and loops.
So I guess a concrete example is in order. This has happened to me...quite a few times so far. I meet a girl, she is really impressed with my intelligence (honestly, not trying to make an arrogant statement). We have fun. Then it goes sour. Why? Because what was the initial attraction becomes the point of contest. It becomes too much, I ended up drying the well of all decent conversation within a few months (if that) and everything becomes too hard. Someone loses interest and that's it, done. So if you can't be yourself and make it work, then what the hell can you do? I dunno, I think I'll have to do quite a few more iterations of this scenario to learn something.
I don't know where I'm going with this. Just bitching I suppose. As Calvin (of the & Hobbes variety) stated, "Nothing helps a bad mood like spreading it around." On the same token, a good quote I read was "Don't tell other people your problems. 20% don't care, and the other 80 are glad you have them."
Anywho, off to my (regularly scheduled) boxe francaise. I'll try to keep up the updates regular, you know, to keep in my theme.

Ah, such is the problem with being that little bit more intelligent than most, no?
Hmm...perhaps this is good food for my next article.
