Sir Almo and the City

Isn't it interesting that you can see something that changes your perspective on so many things, but you will never actually use it to implement change. I mean everyday you take in so many Bits of information waiting to be processed. And we will sit around and do menial things to pass the time, but what if we were to pay attention to everything that was happening around us, the other day i was on the bus on the way home and i pulled out a book and wrote down things that i noticed around me. on a 15 min journey i had written 2 pages of notes on observations of happenings around me. Now it doesn't take a genious to know that that is a lot of information of minor details over a short period of time, and it definately doesn't take much to tweek it to tell a story.

Yesterday i was watching sex and the city and and i noticed the entire idea of the series was that the problems carie was having in real life, were going into her articles followed by a question. This got me thinking, could someone really do so much reflection in their life to be able to analyse single events in their life and define them to one question?? 

Bringing life down down to its bare essentials like on the bus gives you information that you would have otherwise missed, analysing events and situations to developan understanding of why and how things happen are another thing, but with the time we have can we do this? 

The select few who i would say would have had to be poor at one point or had a lot of free time on their hands.

I, for one dont...

which is unfortunate, but i got over it 


So then what am i to do??

What am i to do??

I tried this today (being more aware of my surroundings) on the bus trip home and saw:
1) my bus driver was really nice to young girls but not so nice to older women [he didn't wait for the old lady to sit down when she was so obviously struggling and he didn't even stop for one passenger].
2)Youths are trashy where I live.
3) People seem to care less about what their kids do -i.e. they don't watch over their kids.
4)Seedy construction men who caught my bus (there were two) were checking out girls MUCH too young (like junior high young).

Hmm.
I think ignorance is bliss.
