A Walk #

Connected

I just started college, taking general subjects, don't know what I want to study. Journalism, why am I taking that class? Well, it will be interesting to go and talk with people. 

Psychology, to understand how the mind works. 

Intro to arts, I have always been interested in drawing and stuff, though I have never practiced, may be the class will make me an artist,  I have seen some modern art, I think the purpose is to make you painting look like nothing in existence, to look like something from one angle, and another thing from another angle. Modern art seems difficult. 

Computer Programming 101, computers are the future, when the androids take our, I want to be able to program them, to make them do my bidding, kill, rob, plunder!

I played a lot of call of duty, the college network was pretty fast, and we made good use of it. We never could get enough of killing each other. Other times I played pool. A and me were old friends and we attended the same college. He was good in pool, and i was constantly trying to beat him. Like me he didn't know what he wanted to study, so was just taking general classes. 

We were sitting by the pool board having lunch, when I asked him, "Do you want to take more than one major?"

"May be, first I have to decide on the one major"

"Doesn't it suck that you have to choose one, and your stuck with that one?"

"Well", said A, "you can study again, people do it all the time"

"Yeah, but it want be the same, you will be old by then."

"I think we have to choose what we are interested in, so when we do the job it won't bore us."

"I am interested in a lot of things," I said, "psychology, writing, physics, biology, programming, philosophy, etc etc,"

"Well then you choose the one that makes you the most money"

"Money is that all you think about", I said, "Do you ever think that there are things more important than money?"

"Off course that's after you have money, if you don't have money,  it is the only thing that matters"

"Blah Blah, do you wonder why we can't communicate telepathically?"

"That's how nature made us" said A. 

"I mean, top laptops can communicate with each other, two phones can communicate with each other, why can't two brains communicate with each other?"

"Brains are more complicated than computers"

"Yes", I said, "but for how long?"

One of the fun things we did in college was have movie sessions, where we watched movies with a big projector, a lot of horror movies were shown, and I love horror, the supernatural, the paranormal, don't like the grose you out movies all that much, searching for a key in a bunch of needles (Saw), or searching for a key in shit filled toilet (eww, wouldn't it be faster if you drank it). 

There is though some supernatural element that has always been around in my life. There is a lot going on, and for a while I thought I knew the forces that shaped my life, just like you, but I was wrong! So, wrong!
