"Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry." - Catcher in the Rye
GONG XI FA CAI!
So it's my twentieth CNY. The Big 20. 2 decades. Veinte años. AND I STILL GET HONGBAOS. AWESOME!
Anyway, a quick ramble before I decide whether to do my webdesigns or go skating.Dilema Dilema. As the new age of reason begins to form, and a new generation of kids start to form society, you start to realise afew things leaving society. One such thing, I would say is conviction. back then, when you loved an artiste, you loved them with all you got. A sport, you go at it with all you got. and so on. Now as time goes on, you can tell by the change even in hollywood. back then there were big names like clint eastwood, audrey hepburn, etc. A few mega stars. Now they all are. You date someone famous, you get enough attention to start calling yourself famous. Even artistes dont last long. All american rejects for example, they're rejected from the minds of many 2 - 3 years since their debut. Back then, Eric clapton, Red Hot chili peppers. They all still go strong.Elvis, james brown, these people revolutionized the music scene. But those popping up nowadays, are like a dime a dozen. It seems fame is this diluted easy thing you can get now. The godhood of it is gone, and now its mortalised. So whats next? whats the next mount olympus of achievements?
Ramble done. /discuss.
