Infinite

So I walked out of the computer lab that I was in doing my homework tonight onto the second floor balcony of our campus center, which lies on the side of a hill.  From this vantage point you can see most all of the city and it was about 45 degrees and perfectly still, so you could hear a whole lot as well.  Everything on campus was silent and all that you could hear were the cars in the distance and an occasional siren and, while it doesn't even compare to the silence of nature I experienced in Colorado two summers ago, it is a beautiful thing.  It is one of those times that just makes you feel infinite.  As Stephen Chbosky says in his book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, "In that moment, I swear we were infinite."  I never really quite understood what that meant, but I'm pretty sure that I do now.  I will leave it up to you to define it for yourself, but it's pretty sweet.  I was standing there, and it was just one of those times where I just want to scream and shout and sing, just for the heck of it.  So I thought about throwing out a line from a gnarly break-down, but I decided that it would be somewhat awkward to be throwing out a death growl as loud as I could looking over the valley all by myself and having somebody walk by.  This is why I like the silence of nature better, because you can do that and, while somebody can hear you, they probably won't see you.  Anyway, I just thought I would share that.

In other news, I really need to hit the German again.  I have been falling super behind on that, and that isn't good.  So we shall see if I can pick it up!

In other other news, which is really the same new as the first news, which isn't really news at all, I am pumped to see The Perks of Being a Wallflower!  I still haven't, but I will get the opportunity next week!

In the same vein, while searching for above .gif, I stumbled upon this Calvin & Hobbes clipping.  Another feeling I get when I feel infinite.
