Eh?
If you keep a diary for everything important that has ever happened to you, I might kill you for that. Ironically, your death would be the most important thing for you but that's what your diary wouldn't have. Unless you want to die an unsatisfied man, I suggest you stop doing that. Now this is what I'd call the "Eh moment". Someone says a totally idiotic thing and there you are wondering what made them say something so foolish on the first place. Even more ironic is the fact that this is the part of the conversation you would probably remember. We remember our life as a string of catchy moments, its like missing the black and white parts of a colored photograph. So why do we keep a diary of things we consider important? Important is the one percent part and the rest is the unimportant part we tend to forget. As I keep talking about irony, important is what you would have remembered anyhow and that is what you choose on putting into your diary. Kind of foolish when the unimportant part is what you should have written down- to make sure that even if you forgot the details,you could always take a look at your diary. An "Eh moment", isn't it?
Okay?
Not everybody likes sarcasm, I do. A moment passes as I am writing this and I try to decide whether adding a personal touch to everything makes sense. If I had any idea why I wondered about what I did, I would rather wonder about everything and be done with it. But then I decide personal touch is important after all, because if it weren't, people would wonder who wrote it. Now that made me stop thinking for a while because I wondered whether people wanted to know about the author of a book or the book itself. Ironically enough, people despise sarcasm while they push themselves into situations which are far more sarcastic than say, drowning fishes. Not everybody likes sarcasm, I do.
