I’ve been spending a lot of my time learning to enjoy things. A while back I figured out that nothing is ever really boring – we simply lack knowledge to really appreciate things. Recently I’ve been learning to play the piano and in the process I’ve fallen into a whole new world music.  I think Bill Evans is like my new favorite pianist. ( The last one being Adrian Brody in The Pianist)

But as I was saying – the more we learn, the more beauty we see in the world. It’s like there are these easter eggs just lying around.

For example, a year ago I thought of firewalls and routers as vaguely important objects used to ‘connect the inter-webs’.  Now I know all sorts of silly things about them that I look at the internet with…awe.

The same was true for things like drama, photography, literature and music. I never really valued these things until I actually got invovled in them. It took four years of english literature for me to figure out how incredibly, soul-burningly awesome art is in all it’s forms.  On a side note, I guess thing says alot about literature ( or maybe about me). I mean, I learned analyze literature first… and then suddenly I was seeing movies and comics and plays in whole new ways.

It occurs to me that most of you have realized this a while ago. I did too, I just feel like writing in down now, for some inexplicable reason.
