People don't really surprise me that often, except my room mate (she ruins everything). I perceive people as if they can only have one or two talents; otherwise, they are incompetent in other areas. I shouldn't assume this, but I think it's more of a defense mechanism for myself than being arrogant. I would like to think everyone has only one or two talents because how would I be able compare then.
Yeah yeah, all that mumbo jumbo about how one shouldn't compare themselves to others is absolute poop! People unconsciously do it all the time; besides, how would one get any better if they never compared.
However, my room mate has a tendency to flip all of my original notions of her, which provokes me to ponder on how many other countless people have I perceived wrongly. I know I mentioned this in a past blog but, again, how many have I ignored or glanced past, to never realize that some people have more depth than I expected.
I hope that Nat continues to unknowingly teach me about people. Sometimes I wish I was not so negative on subjects, but then how can I protect myself?
Anyways, at least for now... ME > YOU.
Obama's grandma is really sick apparently; he suspended his campaign until Saturday to see and visit his grandmother since she brought him up. I think it is very sweet that he is getting off the campaign trail to see to his ailing grandmother. I know this is a very selfless act, but because Obama is doing this, he definitely will pull in more supporters through sympathy. Although, it is terrible that he has to fly out fast and then fly back to continue his campaign when I am sure he would rather spend most of his time with his grandmother.
Sometimes life refuses to give you a break.
Election Day is in two weeks. Excited? Yes, but more so queasy.
