Today - lecture about Greek philosophers who tried to come up with the best way to cope with life. The stoics said - get rid of your desires and find inner peace! Accept all the shit that happens to you! But that is not really my thing. If there is a Truth, we cannot know, but we can learn how to live our own lives. We can find out what makes us happy. And then we can curse because we don't know how to get it... I believe in ethics and morality, in controlling your desires and emotions in some way. But there are so many ways of thinking that tells us that almost everything we enjoy is bad, that we are bad from the start, that almost every natural instinct must be restrained in order to reach salvation or whatever. Very weird...
I've been sick for a while, I got a cold when I was out in the rain. I should have brought my duck umbrella! So now I mostly sit at home and feel sorry for myself. I drink tea, even if tea does not do much to make you happy. I finished season 3 of Orange is the new black in two days and then I didn't know what to do. At least I knew as much about myself that I knew that I shouldn't watch Breaking bad. I think I want to watch dr Who, but I don't know which season the cute doctor is in. :D
Birthday coming up. Yay. I met a guy last week who didn't want to tell me his age, he said he was like ten years older than me. But he turned out to be 33. I will be 32. I don't know why people are obsessed with youth, except that they want to look hot and they don't want to die... OK then. Me too. And I want to look young because I don't want people to think that I'm all grown up and boring. But you just dress as a punk and they won't. And then when you're about 55 you can become a cool old lady. You can start a punk band and everyone will love you just because you're old.
Memorable concert a while back:
"I saw a naked man's butt!" (and more...)
