Why do people look up when they think?

I am sitting here in Sprau Tower on WMU's campus, in a little cafe thingy, trying to fill the time until my late class at 6:00. I have been doing a lot of people watching while sitting here. It's amazing some of the things that people will wear. I know the big thing in fashion nowadays is to be original, and unique. I strikes me that in all this attempting to be unique and original, that everyone is essentially wearing the same thing. Most everyone is wearing jeans. I know that they have become a staple in most everyone's wardrobes, but really...is that the only type of bottoms that anyone has anymore. I will interject that I am not at the moment wearing jeans, they are an army green corduroy material. 65 percent of the people are wearing a t-shirt, or t-shirt type material top. There is also a lot of layers. I have seen some girls that are wearing three tank top layer willy-nilly on top of each other, most time with bra straps showing. The other thing I am not quite getting is wearing patterns and colors that have no business what-so-ever being in the same room, let alone on the same body at the same time. Again interjecting, I will say that I am also wearing a tasteful green 3/4 sleeve light sweater and a pair of heeled black dress shoes with an open heel that clink when I walk, with a pair of black trouser socks. (I wonder if many people in this generation even know what trouser socks are!?!).

I just got up and cleared my head for a second (I had to take a potty break). I realize that there really was no point to my previous tirade. A lot of school work, and life in general has me desperately seeking times of absent-mindedness for relief. Now I am "Off to read Beowulf, the wonderful Beowulf of old." (pardon my lose paraphrase, see previous sentence for understanding).

Later all!!!
