Ah, the French

This is one of those rare blogs that actually has something to do with my life.
I've had insomnia lately. I tell you the truth, it sucks, because I wake up SO tired.
But, I think it's over.
Anyways.
Recently, I've felt like I've been seeing things around me that other people just ignore.

I was in the Cathedral on Wednesday afternoon, sitting in a chair, people watching. I had gotten out of Wellness early, so I had about 20 minutes to wait until my next class. There are some televisions (boy it's weird to spell that word out) in the hallway with the classrooms on the second floor, so I watched whatever was on. It was set to some French or perhaps Spanish (the volume was turned down) station, and it was midday, so of course it was soap opera time.

I counted literally 5 makeout sessions in one episode of this show.
I also counted at least 10 professors and 30 other people who walked by and did not even notice the people making out on a screen in our cathedral. It blew my mind.

This is kind of obvious, but I notice that people who are busy notice less of the odd things going on around them. We ignore reality for the sake of our preoccupations. We decide what is important for us to pay attention to and what is not. But, what if we're wrong?
I like to stop and think every now and then if the things which I focus on are important.
Is guitar important? Is school important? Is my family important?
We can only see from our limited, first-person perspective, so we can not possibly know the end result of our actions, thus we do not know what is important. Only God does. So, another duh thing, we should listen to Him and not ourselves.

Maybe it will all turn out that watching French people make out on TV is the most important part of life.
If so, I've got a head start.
