of Beowulf and song tunes

I'm listening to old songs from the bad old 90's, or my preadolescent days...not good for me, actually. But hey, at least the inspiration is flowing back.

In another life, I wonder if I'd be a psych student still. What if I'd gone for acting as a kid? What if I'd discovered my love for polsci earlier? What if I had been bullheaded enough to decide to major in Literature? One good thing about the last few months is that I'm discovering more about myself; that part of me that's just been hiding for the last few years in the face of many other priorities.

In the light of recent events in politics, I'm almost happy to retreat to the fantasy world of novels, Beowulf, and sword and sorcery epics. I do wonder what kind of a life is it to practically sell your integrity for the sake of some good. If then, what good is it to be?

I think the same thing can be said for politics.

I gotta go before I get sentimental again.
