Can't say I'm satisfied with the way my posts are turning out recently.
Mustn't forget to attach alongside my musings the quotidian quote and poem!

Winds of May

by James Joyce (1882-1941)

Winds of May, that dance on the sea,
Dancing a ring-around in glee
From furrow to furrow, while overhead
The foam flies up to be garlanded,
In silvery arches spanning the air,
Saw you my true love anywhere?
Welladay! Welladay!
For the winds of May!
Love is unhappy when love is away!

Infuriated that I forgot the post this poem during the month of May.

Here's a quote from 'The Great Gatsby' that I like:

"In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. 'Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.'"
- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, Ch. 1

Of course, the famous opening line.

This is also a good time to mention that POTC4 was phenomenal.

Johnny Depp is amazing as always, it was great to have Barbossa and

Gibbs back, and Penelope Cruz is quite the exotic one. The monkey

added a nice touch as well. Philip and Syrena make a lovely couple...

I seem to have entered the stage in my adolescence where my mental state of mind and opinions are moving very, very fast. Read back a story I wrote last year that seemed good at the time, but now seems cliché -- pretty much a pile of pulp.

Anyhow, I'm glad to say that I'll be living up to my childhood dream -- I'm going to Kathmandu next year! Very stoked.



Reading 3 books at a time now.
1. Rebecca (for school)
2. Short Stories of Katherine Mansfield (won't read all of them but I recommend 'Bliss,' 'A cup of tea,' and 'A Dill Pickle.' Very interesting stories.
3. The Great Gatsby (WILL BE UPLOADING LOADS OF QUOTES)

I really like Ayn Rand...
Had a flip through Anthem earlier and her writing is just so bold and free, I love it.

I was wondering yesterday why hospital fees were so expensive...
the thought just occurred to me.
The basic human needs are to be healthy and happy, aren't they?
Thus, to enter a hospital or center for subsisting one's health to remain healthy shouldn't cost that much at all, shouldn't it? And to procure food to feed oneself to maintain one's health of digestion shouldn't cost much at all, either, shouldn't it?
Why do celebrities get paid millions for just one photo shoot, to have a picture of their face plastered up on some 5 story tall billboard, whilst the farmers who produce food for people so that we can maintain the basic human need get paid so little?
If everything cost less, wouldn't the economy be a lot easier ? Let's say it costs a hundred to purchase a pack of cheese because some of that money goes to the shipping fee, some goes to the company, some goes to another company that assisted in the producing, some goes to the store that sold it, and some goes to the company that helps manufacture the paper wrapping, some goes to the farmer that milked the cow -- would that be the reason for it's heavy expense? And then the company that helps manufacture the paper wrapping would have to give a share away for those who helped them provide the paper for the wrapping -- the farmer would end up getting the least when he began the entire process...
Imagine the trouble it took to procure the grain of rice you eat.
It would be a whole lot easier to just cut down the prices for everything, wouldn't it?
There are probably a bucket of economical and political factors involved that cannot allow this to happen but I'm merely speaking from a the perspective of one who doesn't understand this all very well.
Just wanted to raise the question of it all...

At a book store today I saw a lot of books with all similar titles: "How to be happy."
Had a flip through them, and I think that the real way to find happiness is to find yourself.
Little activities like doodling, flying a kite, going to the beach -- they might not work for everyone.
You have to find yourself, to know what it is that you want to make you happy, the basic human need...

Glad I got all that out.

This is an intriguing find. I skimmed my read but it's interesting anyway.

I decided to sum up an conglomeration of my cognitions simply using a quote acquired and stored in my mind from:

The quote is:

"Man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress"

That is all.

It sounds like it's drizzling at the opening of the song. I like it. And then at 2:39 the piano is lovely, later joined by strings.
