Living on the Edge

In response to my last entry, which was an eternity ago, I came across a quote from the movie James Bond Die Another Day. I couldn't remember the exact wording, so I altered it a bit: By living on the edge, we know who we truly are.

I am still not living on the edge. Actually, I'm still still in the same boat. I have yet to take that leap. On top of that, I'm currently sampling a band called The Shins, which puts me in somewhat of a carefree mood.

I recently filled out a survey one of my sisters posted, and one of the questions asked : "what is one thing you want to happen in 2007?". My answer was the word "passion". As it may appear, I did not have a relationship in mind. I was thinking about my studies. One day I glanced down at my floor and noticed my textbooks haphazardly shoved underneath by bed. I pondered to myself, "If I am person of science, logic, and philosophy, why am I not treating these books as my bible?". I realized that I am not passionate about anything other than perhaps compulsive downloading.

I understand what needs to happen, yet I just sit back and apathetically bob my head to the sound of The Shins everyday.

What better song to hear now, Sleeping Lessons....at 3:00 a.m....while watching the snowflakes fall passed my window....so blissfully....wondering what tomorrow will bring....
