silent_rock's Journal: mishima

This is why I like this Mishima guy (yes I am still reading that book from about 6 months ago, i'm nearing the end):

...he had come to all the ready-made understandings: the emptiness of wealth and fame and position; the hopeless ignorance and stupidity of mankind, particularly the worthless existence of women; and the way life's tedium gives substance to all its passions.

and

Suddenly she had the strange power to see everything as worthless. Another day was ending without incident. Only capricious, dispirited memories - lackadasical, intermittent, and perhaps based on nothing other than weakness of imagination - would be left.

I got some meds from the doc and I am feeling better. I bought apricot scone mix. I went to the gym for the first time in ages. I wrote a b-day card to angelac. I made the scones.

If my self-worth comes from making webpages and playing bball (arguably the truth), then I'm nothing right now.

K has taken to reading Mankiw (Ec 10 textbook) for fun.

I want to find something funny about the world. I want to do some volunteer/tutor type of thing during the summer. I want to stop feigning disinterest to cover up for being gutless.
