Whimsical Wallowings

So, I've found these past couple days of being sick with the flu quite interesting. Today, especially. Which is why I write so soon (not to mention that I'm on a writing roll, kind of, and I just like writing to y'all). Anyways, this post is just more ranting, except just ideas mostly. Maybe thoughts. I can't really distinguish much right now, but hear me out... Or not.
Anyways, onward ho! (by the way, I'm not trying to call anybody out by that or anything). But yes, so something I was thinking about was telepathy. Wouldn't it be awesome to let people know anything? Like, what happens if someone's on Facebook, but not on Twitter? Or someone doesn't even have a Facebook or Twitter or smart phone or any of that stuff? How are they supposed to find out about an event you want to invite them too, but you also just want to make it publicly known to everyone with or without a social networking device/site/app/etc.? Things would be so much easier if we somehow linked with people that we interact with on a daily basis and somehow you could just hit them up telepathically. Like, oh hey, "guy with that one hat," or "girl with those cool shoes,"  "you seem cool, want to talk over some coffee and actually get to know each other?" That way, you don't even need to worry about some strange stalker/creeper person getting your personal info. like a phone number or facebook friend request. I mean, this isn't at all realistic, I know, but it'd be cool. (I mean, I'm sick, but I can still at least be somewhat reasonable still).
Something else I started thinking about was how I find that it's hard for me to associate (although associate is a really bad word to use because it doesn't exactly encompass what I want to say) with race, which I mean, is a good thing. But what I'm trying to say is that, I know I am who I am racially/ethnically, but I don't find myself as fitting in with any particular group. I don't fit in with the white/Caucasian/European group. I don't fit in with the black/African(-American) group. I don't fit in with the Hispanic/Latino group. I don't fit in with the Asian/Pacific Islander group. And this might sound a bit sad, but it's the truth. I don't fit in with the people who I view as a racial group. It just makes me uncomfortable to be grouped with the people I experience bumping into that fit into such categories. And I guess it's a bit more sad that I don't really identify with any particular group, but I'm fairly content with that because I understand that it is part of my process of finding myself and it's just who I am. I don't particularly clique with the artsy group (although they may very well be the one I would "clique" with the most). I definitely don't quite clique with the athletic or "popular"-esque group. I don't quite clique with the "nerd"/"geek"-culture group. I don't clique with the "music"/band group. I don't clique with the "druggies" or the "emos" or the "goths" or the "loners" (although I kind of am like a loner in my own way - wow, right). I'm actually a fairly friendly person. I hope I give off a friendly aura, but I just don't have my own niche. I don't think I ever have, not sure if I ever will, but we'll see. I'm just looking for people who accept me as me for now and hope that I find good, great, or even best friends along the way. Anyways, this is the gist (or maybe actually just a small part of a bigger picture) of whatever this is.
Now, the last thing I wanted to talk about for now, is the discussion I had with one of my friends about cars/drivers and walkers/pedestrians. Once you finally learn to drive and all that, you get both perspectives, but not everyone thinks about both sides. When you're strolling on the sidewalk until you finally have to cross the street, you bump into a totally rude driver. Like, what are they thinking, right? You have the right of way. And when you're all cool driving around getting places, you have to violently step on the brakes when some pedestrian decided to jay-walk across the street because who knows where they're going in such a rush (or not). But really, people need to learn some manners. There are bad drivers and bad pedestrians in all honesty. Some people drive like they're on a racetrack, some people just don't pay attention, or what-have-you. In my opinion, there are some common unspoken courtesies that not everyone seems to know (and there are also common courtesies that some people don't seem to know about life in general, but that's maybe for some other time). But say, you're an average pedestrian, walking to wherever you're walking, and there are a lot of people also going in your general direction. They're walking to. Average pedestrians. And there isn't a crosswalk sign (you know, those light-up crosswalk lights that have that red hand or green walking man) at an intersection. A line of cars form at the intersection because it's 4-way stop (or what-have-you really). And they're waiting for a while. There are gaps along the groups of walking pedestrians. If you see this, all y'all walking pedestrians should let at least one car go every now and then, y'know? If you look at it from their point-of-view, they're all just sitting there in their cars, waiting for your "right-of-way," which I mean, sure, we have the right of way when we're walking because we're pedestrians, but who says we get to be rude or inconsiderate. It probably literally takes about 10 seconds of our time to stand to let one car go every now and then. And this is assuming there isn't any traffic where it doesn't really matter if the car gets to go because.. there's traffic and it's not like they can go anywhere. But anyways, yes, we should let cars go every now and then instead of being all stuck-up and proud of having a right-of-way. It's not cool. (and this doesn't mean to be a pushover and not know how to cross the streets). Something for drivers to be wary of now. It's not cool to "floor it" when you're just being stupid. Okay? You don't need to "look cool" wearing down your tires to go from one stop sign to another. That's not going to save you 10 minutes to go somewhere. You're probably actually more likely to get a ticket or something. Or hit someone. It's really not cool. And when people are crossing the roads, don't make them nervous, geez. Like, stay at the stop sign or something. When you're creeping towards the crosswalk, it seems like you're anxious to get somewhere (and you might be), but being as close as you can get to the light before it turns or at the stop sign, it's not going to get you there faster by being a foot closer. Your car takes time to start up again, if you didn't notice.
Anyways, there's probably more to all of that, but that's just me exhausting my ill brain right now. So, thanks for listening/reading, and tune in next time! (On a writing roll! And boy, do I like writing...typing. I hope y'all enjoyed this segment). Adios!
