Moods

  1. I can tell my mood by the way I walk.

    Yeah, I know most people can probably tell their moods by, well, checking their moods, and I can too, usually, but there are times when I feel alright but I notice that I'm walking parade-deck style, people diving into traffic because I'm squared-up for a fight but in my head I'm just replaying the last episode of Anpanman*

    that I watched back in 2005 or so, or I'm just mulling over my class standards for academic year 2019 but I discover that I'm slumped over like I've got a bodybuilder's weight kit strapped around my neck and I realize that I've got to figure out what the boys in the subconscious are up to and fast because there's something wrong down there. Or other times when I find myself actually bopping down the street, yeah, I usually know what's up with that, I had a story breakthrough or the court finalized my execution date or some such, but...

    Wait, this has got nothing to do with walking.

    Fuckit.

    So I decided to post something positive, little bit about those Thai kids getting rescued out of the cave and nearly ended up fetal/catatonic in a puddle of tears about that SEAL who died in the effort. Good job and all, and it sucks that he died, but there's something else going on here.

    What?

    Twenty words of the contribution I made fifteen or so years ago to that Wikipedia article have survived the edits to the present day. I'm not going to tell you which twenty though :)

    I was very much and very pleasantly surprised that they got the boys and their idiot coach out safely. I note there was a circle of Buddhist monks praying for the rains to stay away, and I suppose they feel validated.

    Anyway, about moods. Last night I was showing my family the video of that skydive. I remember feeling simply okay about it, steady breathing, moderate heartbeat, and so on. Yet both wife and daughter commented that I looked very pensive during the buildup to the jump. And I think it looked that way, too. My conscious mood apparently did not match my subconscious mood.

    Although I enjoyed reading this, what does bopping and mulling mean? And what were these boys up to?

    Mulling=pondering. What percentage of the final grade should homework be? Should participation earn points, or should percentages simply be deducted from the final grade for things like being late?

    Bopping....

    Put this through your headphones, walk down the street making sure that your step and posture matches the mood of the music:
