Report Blog Entry
I haven't thought about this site in ages! I thought it'd do me good as a journaling tool, but to be honest I got kind of shy about making my first post and never even bothered finishing my blog. Bleh!
The other day, I spoke with the volunteer at my job about poetry. His class is doing Robert Froste, which makes sense for a kid his age! I call myself a poetryhead but to be fair I haven't picked up a book in ages. I do, however, have a special place in my heart for Charles Baudelaire's "The Fountain of Blood"
Sometimes it seems my blood spurts out in gobs
As if it were a fountain's pulsing sobs;
I clearly hear it mutter as it goes,
Yet cannot find the wound from which it flows.
It sounds dramatic, but I too find myself incapable of locating and explaining my pesky wound! The poem's author, however, was a racist, so that could have explained his inexplicable "hollow". It appears to me that people who engage in hateful spaces with hateful ideologies tend to be quite miserable themselves. Hence their scapegoatism. I wonder what kind of inwards gazing I have to do to figure out my hollow. There should be no double standard for kindness, so if I want to be a truly kind person, I have to mirror that outward behavior towards myself as well. We'll see!
On a lighter note, I had a gyro wrap with my best friend today. I tried my hand at animating but I wasn't too happy with my work. I took it as a sign to work on what I'm supposed to work on today >__<. I will also export all of my pictures from my digital camera. Exciting!
I hope everybody is having a happy day.
