be more interesting

• Korea is absolutly figgin crazy
• I have jewish ancestory from both mom and pops
• Waiting 145 years to apologize is silly.
• Most statements made by politicians seem to be made just to keep their hands clean.
• Edgar Degas wanted to be a ballarina.
• Suicidal bombers aren’t so badass anymore (he ran away)

i think the #1 way i will achieve this is if i enrich myself intellectually. in order to ensure that i have more to contribute to conversation i took a trip to the local barnes and nobles and bought a book by a famous political thinker. ive started reading it and im already developing a lot of ideas of my own.

so this might help, eh?

People already said it in my face. And there is nothing worse you can say to me…

I have been very active in my church, I joined the choir last year, I teach a youth bible study group (AWANA)on Wednesdays and I’ve made some very good friends along the way. I try to get out more when my schedule allows (and my budget, lol) and there are some things on the horizon that I have set my sights on…

1. Watch better films.
2. Only spend 2 hours a day watching television or flopping around on the interweb
3. Edit my list of webcasts
4. Find 2 new bands to listen to
5. Find out whether there’s anything local to here.
6. Don’t do housework on a saturday.

when I say “be more interesting” I’m really talking about doing the things I dream about in my head. I see other people doing the things I think I would like to do, but instead of taking initiative to go out and do them, I sit on the couch and watch tv and go “that would be really cool”...

So I checked out the website dailycognition.com (which I noticed on another person’s entry on this website) and I definitely feel like I have more interesting things to talk about after reading some of the articles. It has more obscure news stories that not everyone has heard about. Definitely worth checking out if you want to be more interesting :)

yeah, i think ive managed this one…

Being yourself is by far the most interesting you could ever do. I’ve done so much to force myself into some crowd I think I could be cool in, and have people want to be my friends. It doesn’t work like that apparently.

My approach? Don’t worry about the amount of friends I make, and just enjoy what I normally would enjoy.

When I tried to be interesting, I almost became one of those scenesters who say they’re “unique” like everyone else in their group. After hanging out with these kids for just a few hours, I felt sick with contradictions being thrown into my ears and stuffing my brains with they’re annoyance.

It’s really not a matter of becoming “interesting” it’s a matter of finding friends who enjoy being with you, and get to know you.

i really started trying about 3 years ago and never plan to stop.
ive tried to learn about everything. that way you can have deeper conversations about things. in moderation of course
