People… people… people…

Hmm… I just wrote the title of this post to try to make it all artsy and catchy. Eh. Well, the pro bloggers always say to make sure the title is catchy. Mine is probably as catchy as a … something something… Geeze. What am i doing. Hmmmm… after staring at the word “people”, I have noticed how strange of a word it is. It’s actually made up of… a series of 6 letters … and each letter has meaning for me, but when I don’t think too hard about it… it just means … people…. a group of individuals.

So, now that you think I’m out of my mind (or realizing it again). I will start this reflection.

The reason I used the word “people” like a hundred times is that I had the pleasure to interact with a seemingly diverse group of people in the last…. 15 hours or so.

I went out yesterday with a group of old Dallas friends. Everybody seemed the same. I guess I’m just projecting myself out to others. Change, dammit! Wait there Carl, you’re just seeking external justification for your craziness.

I had dinner at a Mexican restaurant with the most limited vegetarian menu I’ve ever seen. I ended up eating spinach enchiladas with no cheese. It was aright, but it’s not like a salad full of cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, apples, and oranges… and the whole rainforest. Hmm. I probably shouldn’t have eaten anything, but it probably gave me the energy to be awake for the long night ahead.

Here’s some very… very random thoughts about the night and day (or not so random):

Guitar hero was very… very fun. It’s too bad I vowed that I would never purchase a video game since about 4 years ago. However, I really enjoyed it, and I finally felt why everyone else was raving about it.

I went to Karma (Lounge) for the first time. Wow… there are a lot of Asians. It made me think of how people’s minds work. The fact that this business thrives on charging 10 bucks per person to get in because it is one of the few happening places with a high concentration of like minded people (or like skinned). However, there were other races in there in small numbers, which was also interesting. I sometimes wish I could talk to these people in the club in a quiet atmosphere and discuss why they do the things they do. However, that would be really nerdy of me. I’m sure they were just there to have a good time, and not be psycho-analyzed.

I went to karaoke afterwards. It’s amazing how these places in Korea town can stay open and serve beer illegally. I’m not sure if these places usually get caught and get shut down, but they seem to be thriving. Very interesting. What’s with Koreans and karaoke anyway? I’m half Korean and i love it, lol (no, I didn’t laugh out loud). Actually, my dad loves it too, and he’s Swedish (no he does no go to K-town karaoke places) Oh yeah, hearing myself sing reminds me of how weird it is to actually hear yourself sing. It’s very different from what I hear inside of me.

And then it was 5 AM… It is funny because I wanted to go to bed at 10 PM everyday and wake up really really early. Yeah… Anyway, it was nice to hang out with the Dallas peeps again. I’ll be gone from hear next week, and I probably won’t be frequenting Dallas very much afterwards. I’ve had my fill.

I woke up at 11 AM to my dad calling me. I don’t remember what he was talking about. Oh yeah, it was how he found a place that passes car emissions even if the car shouldn’t pass. He was very happy about this.

Then another friend came over, and I had an interesting conversation on many subjects that would bore most people… Actually, it would probably send most people into a deep trance. Oh yeah, he almost convinced me that trying shrooms would be a great idea.

End of random choppy stuff (Hah, yeah right)

People… I’ve been trying figure people out my whole life, and it probably won’t stop. I’ve very interested in the way people think and behave… even myself. I was pretty unproductive today in terms of developing my websites, but in a way I feel like i gained something from my interactions. I need to make sure I am more focused… but does that mean I should restrict more things out of my mind…. I believe so… I find our minds are easily overloaded in this information age…

You know what’s a great way to start your day with a scramble? Go to digg.com. My new unproven theory of brainsramblenessssomethingyes.

Wow this was a long post. I know my kids will look back at this post, and realize I was always this screwed up. :). I think any future “Daily” posts will be much shorter and to a point.

Peace.
