Once upon a time I used to have two friends. These were the two people who actually read my blog and I'm pretty sure the second viewer was just me on a different IP opening my blog up from UC Davis's moobilenet network. So when I didn't really post anything of significance up for a few weeks, I didn't really feel bad. It wasn't like I'd spent months checking my viewers list every hour to make sure that the hits I got the day before weren't some aberration. It wasn't like I was thinking about whether I should give a shout out to everyone out in Singapore for keeping up with the blog or to just go all out and thank the United States, Israel, Yemen, Pakistan, Ireland, Spain, England, Canada, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, and even New Zealand, mate. It wasn't like I really was missing being up in the middle of the night, literally holding up my eye lids with my fingers, and just writing completely nonsensical balderdash.
Truth be told, I've been really busy making new friends. Midterms and MCAT books have become my new besties. And, I think I might be falling in love with the guy from the DVD that came with my Arabic book who exaggerates his vowels to make them easier for me to hear. On top of that though, I've been working really hard on something called "one people." It's a brand new organization that a few close friends and I have been working on for a while now. We're going to be doing a lot of things and you'll be able to see a lot of good stuff on our new website that is about to launch very soon. For now, check out our facebook fanpage for more information:
Make sure you add our new fanpage by hitting the LIKE button and be sure to invite your friends. I'm serious. Please go and actually do that. If you liked what you have seen from this blog, I can guarantee that you are going to love Peop1e. If you have hated my blog and only read it because you enjoy me telling stories about how I was the last kid in my class to ride a bike without training wheels, I can guarantee that you won't regret adding the page. Pretty much, most of the writing I've been doing lately is going into working with that project. So if you want more info, check out the Info tab on the facebook page.
For now, I want to leave this quote that I came across a few days ago while I was clicking on all the random articles that I see on facebook:
We always know what we mean by our words, and so we expect others to know it too. Reading our own writing, the intended interpretation falls easily into place, guided by our knowledge of what we really meant. It’s hard to empathize with someone who must interpret blindly, guided only by the words.
