Random Thought of the Day

Earlier today, I walked several miles through a forest trail (very naturally scenic); many seem to exist in various parts of my city, but, though I have lived here my entire life, I had never wandered this one.
As such beautiful, natural scenery, I felt instantly in a wonderful mood, and other hikers on the trail seemed to mutually have an agreeable, joyful manner.
Random thought: does such nature place several people in a good mood, do others in a good mood further add to the pleasure of such an amble, or do most people merely walk in such areas while in a good mood? :rolleyes:

While letting mono's question slip cos I really don't know (but I'd say that people go there in a good mood which is then amplified, or maybe go there in a bad mood and relax a bit there...so well, I ended up answering... :p) I feel the urge to tell you my random thought which is actually yesterdays'...

Well, whenever I watch an Italian movie I feel like..so into that... everything is so familiar, the landscapes (many of them feature beautiful or at least typical landscapes), the habits, and I wonder what a foreigner would feel in watching that, cos it wouldn't feel familiar to them... and the use of regional accents to me adds power to that feeling... It's one of the rare moments when I do feel Italian cos I feel I belong to those landscapes, those cities, those car journeys, those apartments, that food... Italy wouldnt be that bad if it wasn't so full of stereotypical Italians I guess :D

When I'm alone and in bed, I usually wonder why I'm hear in this world. What is my mission in this earth? Am I hear just to eat, sleep, have sex and then die? Life without purpose is not worth living. But I really feel lost because I have no directions and all the ways lead nowhere. Today I woke up early and this thought show up again. We are swiming in a dark ocean where sharks are roaming everywhere.

Most often, I used to sit on the third seat by the aisle at the end of a carriage, as this gave me more leg room.

Now I sometimes sit in the window seat at the end of the carriage. It feels cramped. But that feeling reminds me of places I would hide when I was a child; of being in bed; of intimacy.

Yesterday, I saw you, for the first time, with your child board the train, and sit adjacent to me, on the other side of the aisle. Today, you sat on my side and said "Hello". I was totally unprepared and echoed your words in a mumbling incompetence. Sometimes, its difficult to handle civilisation on public transport!

adil, personally I think that life has no meaning. You can set up your purposes, like getting that job or passing that exam or buy that thing or go out tonight... but the rest is mere pastime. And consider yourself lucky cos some people have in their list of things to do while alive just eating, drinking and sleeping :D

Anyway I came to post my random thought
I hate phonecalls. I need to call some places to find some kind of job while I finish my studies, but the hardest part is just convince myself to make the call. It's not that scary, I just don't like it. When I was younger things like these made me really nervous... Now not really, the hardest part is always starting... When I worked a few months ago I often used to have to call people...students just like me, nothing scary, but still I always tried to postpone it until I really had to do it...
I also hate formal emails. I really need to hear from my teacher about the damn paper but I'm here postponing sending her an email cos I hate to have to be formal, it always makes me feel like I'm writing something wrong and they'd judge me for it...Makes no sense... Off to do it now I guess, cos I have less than 2 months to do my paper and the sooner I ask for help the sooner things will get started...I hope. *sighs*

My random thought for now is Its too late for breakast and to early for lunch....?

I really like this thought of you, mono. It refers me to a vietnamese tale called Kieu Tale by Nguyen Du (a Vietnamese famous poet in 18th century). This tale has some contexts which describe this feeling. Sometimes inspirated by beautiful or peaceful or...sceneries, your mood would change accordingly. You may feel happy or better. Yet if you are not in a good mood, you might see things around you at the time not in the way they actually are. Well it perhaps depends on how strong such sceneries can affect you. Yet mostly I believe your SELF is a main factor there. In case you are inspirated to feel good, that's really good. But if your'e feeling worse or not that better, you should be calm enough to look for a better side. :)

As for me, I like walking round lakes just seeing things and people. I also like seeing peaceful and quite places, just to feel relaxed and refreshed.

I like to walk alone...also in cities...I like cities, they are so interesting...

Random thought:
Why would someone want to wake up when September ends?...

stupid workout days...too hot to run 7 400m's with little break

Ahhh, it's good to go home every once in a while.

Beautiful, AP, and very poetic. Did you compose this yourself?

Thanks, Rosevn. I ought to look into reading some Nguyen Du; I have never even heard of the writer, but have written the name down for next time I visit my local bookstore or library. ;)

On as little of an un-political note as possible, I watched a nearly 2-hour free speech by former U.S. vice president Al Gore earlier today. Mainly focusing on global warming, environmentalism, and stemmed subjects, he probably delivered one of the best and most powerful speeches I have encountered, seeming very full of enthusiasm and charisma. From my eighth-row seat, I sat in awe and learned a lot from a very remarkable man.

today is a very nice weather and I feel full of energy.....love the sun...

this forum relaxes me... when i am stressed or tired i come here... other forum sometimes dont relax me as much, i somehow feel less free, here it's just so...peaceful, relaxing...

The other day I saw this site andf instantly thought of Stanislaw and pappayhed.
:D
