It's quarter-past-one in the morning on Christmas Day.. it's chill.. the crackers light up the sky.. the world as a whole celebrates Christmas.
I think Christmas is one of those few festivals that crosses religious, cultural and caste boundaries.. Maybe it's the snowy, cold weather or the atheistic Santa Claus that transcends those boundaries uniting the world into one celebrating unit.
No partying or anything for me.. I'm stuck at home playing Exercise 55 of the Classical Guitarist's Guide and then blogging about it. In another 4 hours, I'll be at church for the early morning service.
I'm in a rather warm mood actually.. wondering how kids in poor or broken families would celebrate Christmas.. that the poor become magically rich and that broken families re-unite.
Are you thinking, "What is this heartless computer geek think he's doing?".. Wonder what's inducing it?
Maybe it's The Fray's music.. maybe it's because I like ideal, perfect situations without misery and sorrow deep down inside me.. even though I might put on an outwardly show of uncaring coldness..
This post should've been about the new Web 2.0 site that I recently found or the new software algorithm book I'm reading.. but it's not. Rather, it's a view deep down into me, a human.. not a computer geek or a pessimist.. but a human.
I've got a few admissions to make too. Firstly, that timetable I made isn't being followed. Secondly, I've spent a bit too much time on learning Ruby and Python, trying to get good at guitaring, chatting and contemplating a relationship when I should have been following that timetable. Thirdly, I know I'm going to mess up what I resolved to do properly.. atleast at this rate of study (0 pages/day).
It's not that any of those activities weren't productive because.. Ruby and Python are languages that I can make useful stuff with.. Good guitaring can calm a person down even in the darkest of situations.. I've learnt, if not helped, during those conversations with my friends.. And contemplating that relationship has made me a more mature person on the whole.
I want this post to be an enlightment for someone like me who's lost his focus and priorities. It's not meant for the already perfect person.
Recommending 'Little House' by The Fray along with all of their other alternative rock songs, I abruptly end this post, a jumble of unrelated thoughts lacking context or flow..
