isn't kissing kind of weird?

i was just walking home and i saw this couple kissing on the sidewalk. the whole thing looked really weird to me. when did people get the idea that, hey, we might really enjoy it if we put our mouths together for awhile. how did this happen? the concept is just so outrageous, it doesnt make any sense that kissing would be useful or enjoyable at all. but i guess it is. well i'm sure it is. its been awhile maybe since i've had the opportunity to get my mouth right up there with someone else's but from what i remember its not a bad way to spend some time.

i can see and understand the desire to have your body close to someone else's. hugging and holding and cuddling, those make sense. but why the mouths? we talk with our mouths. we EAT with mouths. this is really kind of bothering me now. i'll tell you what though, i'm really tired. and fatigue level typically has nothing to do with what time of day it is. or what i've been doing all day. in fact, the more i do the more energy i have. which is why, on good days, i'm buzzing around at the three in the morning wondering if i really need to sleep before i have to work at 8. i got a paper back today and one of the key comments, both from peer reviewers and my instructor, was that i use way too many comments. fine, whatever. i got a B+ on the paper.

i just want to draw and do math problems. maybe i've been blogging too much in the past few years that my writing skills have slipped. i've gotten too informal. written communication is valuable and i'm no idiot when it comes to putting some words down but if i never wrote a paper again, i'd be a happy man. i felt the same way when i graduated from IU five years ago with my degree in comparative literature and now here i am writing papers again. but anyway, yeah, isn't kissing pretty fucked up? seriously.
