These are the simpler things in life, and some of the more meaningful ones, too. But they certainly make the world a better place, if you ask me. Just brightens your day to see the mother watching on from a distance while her two kittens play-fight each other. I also got to see a small baby bird flapping its wings trying to fly, while I was on campus. I'm no animal fanatic, but I do find observing animals to be in many respects watching creatures more pure and honest and innocent than the human beings who walk by without even noticing them, because they have thoughts of sex or hate or stress or something else in their heads.
Humans are a virus.
I guess I should travel to at least one place this summer. In preparation for summer, I have of course neglected to answer any e-mail for the last two months. So I have about 80 e-mails to get back to from people who don't even remember me anymore, for the most part. I guess I'll answer them this week, since I'm supposed to be studying. I also have a couple more Soapboxes to write after this one.
