distracted during exam week

sometimes i just can't take my eyes off the TV

it's a learned habit i resent for being a child of the 21st century
growing up on nickelodeon, cartoon network and pirated vcds.

but this time i was sort of glad to give in. they showed
benjamin button on hbo. i had read the story once. pretty sad,
but it didn't hit me like it did a while ago. maybe it was
brad's innocent charm, or cate's timeless grace. some stories
are just best experienced through images and a soundtrack.
don't feel like writing anything special now, and no time too.
just wanted to share a funny experience.
as my thoughts were semi-trugding semi-racing along with a heavy
gut, i caught myself thinking about nietzsche again, and how its
these kind of fragrant thoughts he thought were the most important.
these sad colorful thoughts. yeah, he may not have gotten laid much
but he did have lou to put some color in that painful existence.

i randomly grabbed one of his books and flipped a random page.
funny that it flipped on one of his shorter and earlier works.
pretty relevant, pretty coincidental. it might interest you, it did me.

aphorism #251 of the book Mixed Opinions and Maxims

"In parting - Not how one soul comes close to another but how it moves
away shows me their kinship and how much they belong together."
