h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

yes little thoughts. i wish that sometimes only small things in life were appreciated and dwelt on. there is definately (in my mind) a time and a place for appreciating, for instance, who invented the table, why glasses are mainly glass and why chairs can be soo uncomfortable. instead time is spent on war and politics and "proper" "issues". not that it isn't vitally important that some people do work these things out for the rest of the world, i just feel that their value to the average person is slightly overrated. green grass in summer is especially wonderful. i love to pick the grass and rub the chlorophyll in my hands. i like the smell of cut grass too. mm brilliant. and the summer sun. birds singing and all the cliches. i like everything that reminds me of other people being happy. reminded of being happy. donkeys eating grass in the summer. rolling in fields, and down hills. i think i am perhaps too negative on my past. seems quite disappointing and then i think of all the things in it which can bring me happiness. and all the things in the future which potentially do the same. and the brilliance of the look in people's eyes. mmm, i like to sleep. dreams are fantastic. i have a theory you can dream about whatever you like and if this is true then it would indeed be a powerful asset. dreams at the time seem real, and with the perception=reality thing you can create your own world in your sleep. obviously this is a bit farfetched and i'm taking it too far, but you get the general picture. and in the real world you can almost do the same thing - just do strange and wondeful things because it makes a change, or something. i am not really sure, i have never been the decisive type. perhaps because when i do seem certain it mainly sounds predictable, unoriginal, almost as if it isn't my own thought. indecisive always seemed more balanced to me. on saturday i bought a coat as worn by the dutch RAF. it has the date( i assume date, it could just be a number ) 1955 written inside. it is warm, but not waterproof (does it need to be?). it is weighty and heavy, but everyone seems so cheered by it. maybe it is unusual - it looks nice. i have not worn it to college yet, but people in the streets have looked either curious or have been fantastic. two strangers have greeted me wearing it and i am sure that they would not have done had i not been wearing it. i think i could just sit here and type all evening, but i don't want to get lazy. goodbye whoever you are, i appreciated your guide entry enormously.
