• I miss Eliot. I really do. (Just for some of you, Eliot is my guitar.) I haven’t played him in so long and I think I’m starting to forget how to strum, or at least my skills are slowly deteriorating. —Sigh. I just want to lug it outside right now and play and sing with it in the midst of swarming mosquitos, but yet the setting sun and the sky makes it all worth while.

  
  

  I just read an article in the quarterly produced magazine called ‘Maviology’. I never knew the brand ‘Mavi’ is Turkish, I thought it was another shallow brand created by the Americans to target dumb teens like us that would pay 100 + for a pair of jeans. But anyway, that wasn’t the article. Haha, the article was about Nomads. Nomads? Yea, I know. What the heck is that? Well, according to their definition, a Nomad is someone who is forced to travel/on the move to survive. (Some beggars are nomadic, but most are just stupid idiots who travel to different parts of Toronto to get money…no thats not the point of Nomads) They are usually very intune with nature, and move about according to the seasons. They find their own food mostly, and are dependent of almost nobody but themselves.

  
  

  This reminds of the theory I learned in Philosophy (God, I absolutely LOVE that course. Yes, I’m a nerd) A theory by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, he says that “the primitive man lived in harmony, while the modern man distanced from his true self. Distance is caused by corruptions and the artificiality in society. People should govern themselves and return to nature.”

  
  

  Mmmm…
