-zoning out-
these days, the feeling of feeling nothing is becoming exuberantly frequent... it's almost like getting high, but then nothing is spinning and there's no zany euphoria. maybe a little more like being lightheaded without the giddiness or fainting spell. it's when you stare at something... and the object dominates your attention so completely that you forget who you are, where you were, or what you should be doing. it may not even be something corporeal - i spent a cool fifteen minutes pondering the wondrous innovation known also as the doorstopper. yet it is still distinctly different from simply zuobo-ing because a vital sensation is present: wonder itself. ah... the wonder of wondering aimlessly... which is why it is not just simple langour, but more of a slight feeling. leaning on the edge of exploding into frantic emotion, yet firmly tethered by that fuzzy tinge of tranquility. is this the feeling of life par excellence? the mood an art afficionado enthralls with while appreciating the intricacies of a Van Gogh or Carravagio... the liberating tumult a father gets watching his first child's birth... the fleeting tickle in the cyclist's tummy as he speeds over a hill and experiences zero gravity... it's like realising you've fallen in love with life again.
all that just because the exams are over. heh.
