Old memories

I don't know why, but today I remembered some things that happened about 30 years ago.  There was me asking my grandfather: "How are people supposed to keep their hands when they walk? Straight open, or closed in a fist?" He said: "Something in between", and it seemed to me a good answer.

I remember me watching my hand and thinking it had nice proportions, I don't think it has changed much.

I also remember some pretty boring moments, strange that they left a sign that has lasted for so long... For instance I see me sitting on the floor staring at the carpet, or watching the room's door trying to catch sleep for my afternoon nap...

Animality?

I find quite interesting that we spend a lot of time in cutting our hair and trimming our nails.  We also use special products to make our hair feel softer and look brighter.  We have even invented professionals that we pay to perform these make-up operations on us.  If an alien dropped on the Earth he would probably report that "Humans derive from monkeys but they try to hide it by polishing their hair and making their nails look more gentle."

The first five minutes

The first five minutes when I wake up, that's when I think my brain works 2x.  As if I had a double who shares my own experiences and yet can give me a different perspective on a problem.  BTW this only works when I wake up naturally, that's why I try to wake up before the alarm.  I actually think the alarm causes some sort of brain damage, it's responsible for the crime of interrupting dreams, it's the first bad news of the day -- the day itself heals the alarm's wound, and makes me forget about it.  I'm thinking that the sunlight can mend as much as the dark can hurt.
