City.

I found this is in the city today with my friend and it amused us both greatly.

It's funny how seemingly stupid things amuse me.

Wandering around the city is rather fun, though you forget really how far you walk and after a whole day of doing it, your feet become rather sore and blistered (I believe I have one on my left foot as we speak).

Its hard to think of what to write in this blog.

I'm still trying to get used to it.

Maybe I'll base this post on individuality and how some people..just..I don't know.

Get the point of it.

Everybody is an individual in some way, I hate to say it, but they are.

There's also another side to it. I'm not saying its a bad side, but just the OTHER side to someone's personality, for want of a better term.

We are all conformists in some way as well, we all conform to some sort of group.

You could conform to the eccentrics for example.

No matter how weird and "out there" you may think you are, there is always someone who is weirder and more "out there" than you are belonging to the same sort of group.

No matter how individual you think your clothing style is, there will always be someone with something similar but more, lets say... exciting, perhaps (that actually happens to me a lot, the city actually opens my eyes to the people with weird dress sense, makes me feel quite..normal actually).

See this person below in the dog suit?

Yes, he's pretty..well..insane I guess, but in a slightly amusing way, but I'd bet my piano that there's someone even more insane with an even crazier animal suit. 

 

Now, on a slightly different note: illegitimate children.

I was watching a show on the television set (I think that's the first time I've ever referred to TV as that) and I believe it was some sort of talk show thing, I don't know. Anyway, one of the hosts made a crack about illegitimate children, and it got me rather annoyed actually.

Do people still think like that these days?

Are people still hung up on the fact that there's children "running wild" without having being born within wedlock?

I was talking to one of my friends about this and they agreed that it was rather stupid that people still think like that.

I also happened to mention that it was a rather personal thing for me as my parents didn't get married until I was ten, nearly eleven years old.

My illegitimacy never bothered me at all actually, its just that when someone makes a crack about illegitimate children, I tend to get defensive.

My friend told me to not take it so personally, perhaps I shouldn't, but then again, this friend was born with married parents, and I thought, they really don't know do they?

I probably shouldn't take it so personally I admit, but it just annoys me that people still think like that.

My brother doesn't get bothered.

I'm glad to have friends who aren't overly "old fashioned".

I think that the people that are really..well... for want of a better word, against illegitimacy, are a rather small minority these days, which makes me glad.

Marriage seems overrated to me anyway.

It's just a piece of paper..

And for people who want to get extravagant, an expensive piece of paper.

It all seems rather pointless as well.

Most marriages end in divorce anyway, so what's the point?

Expensive marriage, expensive break up.

That's the way it seems.

Maybe it is the cynic in me who's saying all this.

Wait, I am the cynic, what am I saying?

I suppose that's the end of my rant for tonight.

I shall leave you with some pictures of our new puppy, Basil.

He likes to sleep a lot.

He likes to bite my fingers.
