WIKI post
The longest solar eclipse in 500 years--and the people living on the western hemisphere missed it all. China, India, and some other parts of Asia had the luck of viewing a once in a lifetime event. Something like this will never come by in my lifetime, that's for sure.

Too much of everything is no good. Ever heard of "ignorance is bliss"? Well I believe it is true. Remember that episode when Homer Simpson got his crayon removed and he became intelligent? His intellectual self found life to be too difficult so he chose to become stupid again. If I wasn't so smart, maybe I wouldn't think so much. Thinking about random thoughts mostly makes me sad. I think I might be in for a serious case of depression. If only I was a bit dumber, I wouldn't have care in the world... live life happily and not think about what could be.
It's also true for those who are very beautiful. Beautiful women--are they blessed or are they cursed? Being stared down by all sorts of drooling men--that's probably not a great feeling. And then there's always the fear of rape.
God damn I wish the summer would end already. Every week kills me a bit more inside because of its repetitive nature. I have nothing to look forward to, I have no goal, I have no motivation whatsoever.
"But if you're not doing it for yourself, who are you doing it for??"
I would like to know.
