If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.- Isaac Asimov















Hello to my readers (although I think there are none). It's been a while. If you do actually read my blog, then I will say that I will try to update more. I hope everyone in blogville has been well and has been doing their best to make the most of their lives.

Well, now let's get to the point of this post. KNOWLEDGE. Just regular knowing things-academically, socially, globally. It is such an essential part of true living. You can't really get anywhere if you don't know. Each day of my life, I try my best to learn something new and this might be why I love school. Knowledge comes to me and I don't have to go out searching for it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE learning new things, trying new foods, perfecting new skills.

Now, why is it that some people choose to be so errr stupid? I guess stupid is quite a strong word but it almost fully describes what I want. It annoys me to know someone whose mind is so hollow. The brain is the one organ that the more you put in it, the more it holds so why not take advantage of that and fill it. This is your one chance of gluttony without the fears of hellfire.

I must say, I don't have many friends. This isn't because I'm not friendly (in fact I really am) and I've got quite a lot of charisma. I know, I know, I'm tooting my own horn but really it's true. I'm friendly and I have charisma, so why is it that I don't have many friends? Well it's because I choose not to. Well not exactly. It's really because on the intellectual level, I have a hard time getting along with people in my age group.

Generally, I'm more intelligent than those in my age group. I've been told time and again that I have an old soul. I think older than my age group so it's really hard to get along. This isn't to say that everyone in my age group is dumb, no no, you are just where you should be, just not necessarily where I am.

There are really only two and half people right now that I can share things with and have them give me real important and intelligent feedback. Everyone else gives replies that makes me want to slap both them and myself for even discussing with that person. Are you asking why I say 2.5? Well the half is this guy, let's call him 10.3, he's older than me, but only says wise things half the time. The other half of the time, I really wonder what's going on in his head.

Is it so hard to know people in my age group (20-25) who know anything about anything except parties and who's dating who? Is it difficult to pick up a newspaper and learn? Is it too challenging to have conversations with deep and meaningful contexts?

I just want to be able to talk to someone who knows the slightest difference between the American and Canadian healthcare systems or even what the O in OHIP stands for.


Until next time,
