There are several reasons why I decided to become a Psychology major in college. They are (as follows): 1. I realized -- after receiving a D- in one of my programming classes -- that being a Computer Science major just wasn't for me. I used the excuse of "do I really want to spend 40 hours a week sitting behind a computer keyboard?" but that's really not valid, since I do that anyways -- except I'm writing in English as opposed to C++ or Java. 2. It's fun to play with people's minds. 3. It's incredibly interesting to see what makes people tick and why they do the things they do. I've come to realize that the human mind is a finely tuned instrument, and upsetting the delicate balance of machinery and chemistry can be quite harmful. The thing that really intrigues me is that because of the way the mind works, it could be running completely off-kilter and yet the person thinks that the things he or she is doing or saying are completely normal (which, of course, could be said about many people who are considered relatively normal by society... like, oh, say, "Republicans," but I digress). It's not like a car engine where if something's not right, you know it's not right because you can hear the loud noises or you can see the warning lights on your dashboard -- no, a mental problem is the equivalent of trying to drive an Escalade down the street with no tires on the wheels but there's no sound and you think everything's fine. And I've often used the expression "he's not running on all cylinders" to indicate that there's something not right in that boy's heeeeeed. The reason why I bring this all up is that I (and a few of my co-workers) have been the recipients of, shall we say, psychotic ramblings over the past few weeks, where this guy will send us long missives about how, through the use of various surveillance technologies, record executives have gotten ahold of his compositions and have stolen them. He then goes on to accuse several popular groups of recording his work (I believe today's finger was pointed at 3 Doors Down) and stealing his ideas. And I literally have gotten 5 or so of these long, legal-sounding documents over the past 2 weeks, all with different songs and artists listed. Does he think that he's really being watched? Does he really believe he's written all this material that's been stolen from him and has turned up on popular recordings? Does he live in a cave and try to control the weather using tin foil and some wire hangers? Who knows...
