No, not this - just the standard moment's thought.
It's difficult to follow with the rules of this book - the Dale Carnegie thing. If that's his name. As the day goes on, you kind of realize all the little things that you do that you're "not supposed to." Like the whole not criticizing/condemning bit. I do it all a bit too ... instinctually. Complaining about this and that - heck this bloody blog is a testament to that. Raving and ranting about everything and nothing at once. So I've got to tone this down and find a way to see, or at least only speak of, the positive in the things around me. That's the idea - like a new mental diet.
So you look at people and yeah sometimes they peev you off, but you stand back and think why are they doing what they're doing? And, yes, you can conceive of the why and wherefore. Of course, it's all conjecture. And what and truly is the point of conjecture - I guess it's all to learn about one's self - introspection, no?
I'm watching ... well, yes, I guess I am watching this show on TV that ... see - I don't know how far this not criticizing thing goes, but this is terrible TV. I'm not a particular fan - well, I can see why someone would like it. It's quick, it's simple. I can see where people, the viewers would watch it with a wish, a small yearning perhaps, to be a part of the show themselves - thinking how they'd be if they had that chance that the ratty kids in the show do. If that makes sense. Too many pronouns.
And it's simple and addictive. You don't have to think. In the words of other people here "It's actually quite entertaining, isn't it?" You don't think - you unwind and watch. As in Psychonauts - for the kids who get their brains stolen - the first thing they say, repetitively "TV..." ;D I love that game.
Everyone looks so happy. At least in the intros. And they're all generally good looking folks. The justification would perhaps be that someone like me wouldn't want to see an ugly person on TV. Like when .... no, scratch that reference. A bit of an insult to avoid there.
Not that I'm a fan of any of this. Then don't watch it, eh? I'm off to do the work of a Psychonaut. Peace out till next my mind divines otherwise.
