So...I feel like a bum today. I am so energy drained I can hardly do anything. It was pathetic at the Y. I could barely do my regular routine...and didn't do anything challenging whatsoever, considering that the easiest stuff was challenging. Maybe I should actually sleep at night. That might help.
I'm also reading this book. It's very interesting. I know I'm a nerd, but I'm reading a book called "Genetic Mapping and the Human Imagination" and it's about how scientific research can never sufficiently portray who we are as human beings or what the purpose to life is. It's very interesting: definitely something I've been thinking about a lot. Not just the purpose of life, but what makes someone who they are, and such. After reading what I've read, I don't think it's genetics that has very much say in who people are. There are so many identical twins I've met with the exact same genes, but are very different. They don't have anything in common as far as personality goes. They have different hobbies, different temperaments, etcetera. And regardless of what everyone says, kids aren't all like their parents. It happens, but not as much as people say it does. People always say that my mother and I are exactly the same, but one day on our long camping trip, my family and I played a game where we would switch places with one person and act like them, and my mother and I switched; let me tell you, we could not act like one another to save our lives. And do we like the same things? Some of the same things, but nothing really significant enough to be able to say I genetically inherited what I like, as well as my temperament.
