Starting Again...Misc thoughts

Instead of blogging, I'd recently just been writing thoughts down in an email draft to myself - great because it's like a journal that moves with me wherever I go. While I wont share everything I've been thinking, here are some that I'm opening to public domain :-) Please comment if you'd like!

What is this word independence? I think it gets thrown around too freely. Almost as much as "intelligent." Way more people think that they are, or others are, independent than they actually are. Especially women - like it's this really attractive trait to men. But when you get to know them, it couldn't be farther from the truth.

I never understood how people could be so volatile in places like the middle east or Europe. I cant imagine being that passionate about anything. Maybe pledge multipurpose wipes. I'm pretty passionate about them. What's wrong with me?

I would hate to be one of those goofy people who are at a 3-d movie premiere, having their picture taken while wearing the glasses. It's just so silly looking, a sea of people with goofy glasses and big smiles on their faces.
