Incoherent Thoughts



It is almost summer and this blog is coming to a close. It was made for the sole purpose of schoolwork, and with summer just around the corner there isn’t much point to keep on posting. I was unable to think of an adequate topic, so here are some very incoherent thoughts that I have been having.

1. Summer is what all students dream of, from the point that it ends. There’s no school and you can do almost whatever you want. In the morning you get to sleep in and know that there is nothing to do. In the afternoon the sun shines radiant heat, which can easily send you napping. In the evening it starts to cool, and you’re proud to of accomplished nothing. At night you go to bed with an amazing feeling that seems like it will never end.
2. Food is awesome. Tastes and flavors rush out into your mouth as you chew it. And if you put two tastes together it creates a whole new flavor. French fries and ice cream for example. The fries a crispy, salty, and warm. Ice cream is soft, sweet, and cold. These clashing qualities actually make something together that is truly delicious.
3. Stars shine through the night without ever changing. It’s very hard to imagine that they’re actually just like the sun, except even bigger. And yet they’re so far away they look like tiny white dots that are only visible at night. When there is no light to reflect off of the air in our atmosphere, it becomes see-through and lets the stars shine through.
4. Life will find a way, it always does. When you look out at the universe it’s hard to imagine life existing somewhere else. But when you look at the actual chances, there is most certainly intelligent life out there. We only know what we experience, so logically it is impossible for us to imagine some other being’s life. It is haunting to think about someone else way up there, who’s wondering if you’re there, but then realizes that you are, and you’re thinking the exact same thing.

So maybe this summer I’ll just relax and realize something. I realize that nothing is a coincidence and that everything is connected. During the summer I may just sit by the fire. I may eat some french fries dipped in ice cream. I just might just happen to look up at the stars. And with all this I may share that perfect moment. So as you can see, nothing is truly unconnected, or incoherent.

Have a marvelous summer, ~ Tristan
