i still haven't found what i'm looking for.

when did i become so cheesy? and when did U2 lyrics become so awesome? oh, bono, you and your ingenuity and spunk.

i use the song "i still haven't found what i'm looking for" to teach my intermediate students the present perfect. i've taught it so many times that i almost feel like it's a part of learning English. [how else will they know the time line that the perfect tense runs...other than playing "never have i ever"...]

but as many times as i hear it, or read it, or print it, i still get it. i don't know if it's everyones aspiration in life; to find what they're looking for. but for some reason i feel like i am one of the lucky few who are delighted with a curious spirit. [meaning, i'm too introspective]

i recently read a book titled "what should i do with my life?" by po bronson. i'm one who falls in love with books quickly, and this one was no exception. it's a non-fictional account of about 50-ish people and their stories [i.e.: what they do with their lives, and how they got there.] it helped me to put things into perspective. and it made me smile. i am not lost. i am only lost-ish.

on that note. i kind of hate blogs. i hate how "introspective" and "self-involved" they are. i wonder why we feel like someone out there would want to read about our cares and journeys and dreams. [well, i guess i do, and i assume 1 or 2 of my friends haha.] but i guess we'd all agree that at this weird point in our lives....this quarter-life-something time....we're all searching for something. and i'm putting it out there...that i still haven't found whatever the hell it is that i'm looking for. and on that note, i am damn well happy nonetheless!
