I think, deep down, we all like things to stay the same. With small things or gigantic ones. There is comfort in know things are and always will be what they currently are. A rambling statement but there you go. I am in one of those kinds of moods today.
So this blog has been done on the fly and with very little thought. You could ver well ask yourself when have i done it differently? Let me tell you that i always type it up, go have a coffee (i don't drink coffee but you get the idea better), then come back and read it see if it makes sense. Not today. The last couple of days have been like a 8 on my weird-shit-o-meter [which is on a scale of 0 to 10 BTW]. None of it really involving me but as an observer i have had to come to a few conclusions: chiefly that i am not so badly off after all. I might have problems but nothing like what some people have got themselves into.
This got me thinking about why people get so freaked out about climate change. In fact so freaked out that they have to insist that there is no such thing. Contrary to the fact that the entire planet is changing all the time. I am talking both natural (volcano, earth quake etc) and man made (war, politics, home decorating). We just don't like it is all. Well, i know how much i hate it when people touch my stuff and quite frankly that has no consequence other than making me slightly uncomfortable. OK. OK. i take that back. I get extremely irritable because i have OCD. But just because i like things to not change doesn't mean that i am going to deny that they do change.
[I also hate clowns and those people who put all over body paint on themselves and pretend t be statues. But i do love hot cars (just a personal kink) which is weird as i don't have a drivers licence.]
I think that you have to look at things differently when ever things freak you out. To not be afraid all the time of things changing. To do this you need information. Well, i think you need information - you get some kind of control back from knowledge. That is why the study of climate change is necessary. If you are aware of what can happen and then what you (in a general sense) can do about it then it is not so scary.
See, rambling today. I really need to go buy some new pillows today. damn. see. i just can't seem to hold my thoughts together. I blame that massive reading attack from a few days ago. I tried to get my holiday reading finished. All i did was read so much my eyes hurt and i got insomnia.
Anyway. I just hope that i can get some stuff written today. Still haven't got my basil melt stuff sorted. i'll tell you about it one day.
