the dreaming tree

my dad completely doesn’t like sports. it’s so weird that i do as much as i do. this really doesn’t have a point, i just thought i’d note that. i’m sitting here at the computer (in the same room as the tv…my family only has one) and my dad sits down and starts flipping through channels…and every channel (we don’t have cable, either, so that’s only 7…) had sports except for pbs, which was some cooking show. he initially went past the cooking, but went back after he bypassed golf, hockey, basketball, baseball and figure skating. and then he left. he and i are so different it’s incredible. i’m sure a lot of ya’ll have similar experiences with your parents. sometimes it is strange to think that i came from them, in the biological and social sense. i’m waaaay more of a music freak than anyone else in my family, waaaay more about sports than anyone else and…i don’t know. just something to think about. how do these different interests evolve when there isn’t anything there to spur them on? a lot of who i am seems to be more related to genes (where’d they come from?) than circumstance at times. i guess i’m overlooking a lot of things we have in common…it’s just more interesting to investigate the differences, i guess.

welcome to my mind.
