eraser
Shucks end of holiday. Got some things done, got some things forgotten as well I'm sure but nevermind. Kinda happy to go back to school and see the new campus, I don't care if it's totally done or not.
My folks, especially mother, were really worried about my brother not getting all his uni applications and whatever else necessary done in time, and she (mother) ranted on about how she can't understand how last-minute people can exist in this world etc. etc. all that ranting. But happy times for them because, the next day, or maybe 2 or 3 days later, he finds out he's accepted by Oxford. (Man.) So the remaining applications, can just throw them away. Well except for maybe one.
I'm happy of course, but once again, like everytime, his ego is boosted, and he gets another ticket of "permission" to look down on others. I'm quite sure there are other ways to measure human worth.
I just read Off-centre. I think we're all mentally-ill in a way. Victims of some kinda system, at times self-inflicted. But I'm saying this in a really neutral way, maybe even with a touch of (resigned) optimism. We should just establish that there is no centre, and kill the need to get there.
