//// Seven things you don’t know about me (yet)

Posted on | October 15, 2009 | 2 Comments

Ok, I got a sweet little blog award from Jalouse, thank you! …let’s see, the badge goes here…

kreativblogger

And the instructions here:
When you receive this award you should do the following seven things:

You should thank the person from who you received this award
Copy the image and publish it in your blog post
Link to the person from who you received this award
Tell seven previously untold things about you
Give the award to seven new persons
Link to them in your blog
And tell them about the award

So to those seven things…

1) As a child I wanted to become a gardener or an astronaut. Obviously it did not happen. I don’t know a thing about gardening but I’m still fascinated by space and stars.

2) Learning things is important to me. I don’t care about the formalities of education or degrees, but I’m always eager to practice a new skill, read about new theories — thinking about and implementing the practical applications. Gardening… …who knows…

3) Oh yes, I’m a pragmatist — although a lazy one. Don’t see too much value in thinking and theorizing, solely — and I also think that people are defined by their actual actions, not by their thoughts. My laziness is thus very painful for me.

4) I’m a computer geek, sort of…

5) I spent my childhood in the countryside — but I have known from relatively young age that I will like it better to live in a city. Like it was built in to me or something…

6) I have never been a believer — nor good at suspecting. I try to take things as they are. That does not mean that I’m all rational — I have a strong intuitive side, too. Is that clear? No, I really did not think so…

7) The creative side of me is somehow complex, and it is very painful to explore it. I still want to do that — although I feel very selfish and being somehow useless member of this society as an aspiring artist.

After this self exploration I feel so weak (read lazy) that I’m not passing this forward — and it has circulated quite a lot in Finnish blogs already (plus I get that feeble patronizing feel when I give awards like this… …and that makes me feel really awkward… …just a personal problem of mine) . But feel free to pick it up!

    Well thanks for sharing, it’s nice to find out more things about favorite bloggers.
    I always wanted to be an astronaut too.
    I also have the same misgivings as you about being an artist and the usefulness of that to society. But now I think that being artistic and creative is hotwired into the human DNA. Go look at a museum of human artifacts; see all the beauty that people have contributed to the world over generations and then go and add your bit of art to the world, it is what we are born to do.

    if you are a spiritual person, no doubt you think yourself as a “old soul”

What do you think?
