The end of this. This guy knows what's up. What a cool little photography project. (I saw this via thekidsshouldseethis, an awesome blog.)

The Innovation of Loneliness

It's ironic that I'm posting this (everyone says), but I need to watch it again and think about it again and then respond.

I am shamed

Why am I not more interested in valuable knowledge? And how does one become more interested? 

I guess it's similar to why I eat Taco Bell or bowls of cereal instead of preparing some broccoli or cooking some oatmeal. Or why I'll put on a sweater over my dress shirt instead of ironing it. Or why I'll play Solitaire instead of just reading my Bible. Or why I'll just go for a quick run instead of strengthening my body as a whole with a variety of exercises and warmups. Or why I'll watch a movie instead of continue in one of the three books I'm "reading." 

I imagine everyone has similar thoughts and similar struggles. But some folks seem to have it down better than others, and I'd like to be one of those folks. Small steps, I suppose. But as always, easier said than done. Easier imagined than created. Easier desired than acquired.
