The Deep Woods
Short blog this week but it gets my ideas out and covers the points. In my opinion i believe i could live in solitude for a year. i used to be a boy scout and i sometimes get annoyed with all the technology that we have now days. i think that i agree with Emerson and Thoreau's words because i have similar believes i think that its important to be nonconformists. i myself lots of people will shout out oh i like ur pick shoes. yeah i have hot pink shoes. im also a gentlemen ive always been taught to respect women and not swear or fight in front of them, sometimes there are acceptions to these rules but i try not to use them unless i have to. i think i try not to conform to the norm and try to be myself. I think i could go into the woods and live with out anything for a year the only thing i would miss is my friends and family so i would like to visit them but other than that i think i could do it.

I think everyone has agreed that they could live without their technology as long as they could see their loved ones. I wonder, if we actually did that, if our relationships with those people would be more meaningful? That would be a good experiment. How does a relationship change if the only form of communication used is face to face? :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you would be able to be secluded for an entore year, but if you did I'd give you a lot of credit. I agree that being away from family and friends would be my main issue of going off and being secluded.
ReplyDeleteI totally think you could do this. You seem like the type of person who would take on this nuts challenge! I also love Brookes point.. I think our relationships would get so much stronger with just face to face communication. It would give us all a whole new meaning of caring for someone and understanding them better.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree about your nonconformists statement. My roommate is all about his "swag". He has like 6 pairs of Jordans and he literally takes them of and walks barefoot if it starts to rain. It literally gets me mad how much of a tool he is about it.
ReplyDeleteI try not to be like everyone else, but in some instances it is unavoidable. Like hockey, I have a stick that was very commonly used 2 years ago in the pros just because it is an extremely high quality stick, not because someone famous used it.
