Anyone who knows me would say that me not having homework is a dangerous thing. Mostly because chances are, I really do, but I don’t want to do it. In this case however, I really don’t…I think.
Today for psychology (a class that has for some reason been making numerous appearances in this blog lately) we had a special thing where we could sign up to listen to different lectures on a variety of topics. I chose the one about Serial Killers. It was really interesting, and the instructor used a great quotation that I’m including here for your enjoyment:
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. – Friedrich Nietzsche
I am of course not fighting the monsters per say when it comes to serial killers, but I still think it’s a great statement. It also doesn’t just apply to criminals. In a sense, we are all fighting monsters to some extent, even if it is little things in those around us.
I have my last boxing bout tomorrow afternoon. I’m feeling pretty good about it though. I got an 80 on my last one and my nose is still intact as far as I can tell. It will be nice to get it over with. Although, I must admit, if it would get me out of redoing gymnastics this summer, I would redo Survival Swimming AND Boxing.
The news is getting crazier every day. Someone hacked a Virginia prescription medication database and got 8 million patient records and left a note demanding $10 million. Pakistan in general. Iran’s nukes. The whole Miss California incident, and so many other crazy stories. I don’t know what to say about it all.
Okay, I think I’ve wasted enough time on this. I better go find something productive to do…like Facebook.
