Every once in a while, Ill read a book or see somethin on tv, or watever, that kinda captures my interest and Ill get curious about it, its like a spark that starts this super intense interest to find out any and everything I can about that particular thing. Then for a few days or weeks or w/ever, Ill be online readin as much as i can about it, gettin books about it, etc. until Im satisfied and I go on to somethin else.
Im thinkin I aint the only one who does this, Im pretty sure its a human nature to be intrigued by things you dont know that much about and get into a "phase" of just bein really into a certain thing. To just like, devour all the information you can get on that subject like a starving person eating their first meal in weeks.
For me it tends to be history related things. Since I only finished 9th grade (got a GED but they dont teach no history on that test), theres a ton of shit that I am clueless about when it comes to history, american and world wide. So, alot of times the subject that I will end up really into, is a particular time period or event in a country that I never knew about before.
Right now, Im readin a book about India during the time that Indira Gandhi was prime minister and declared this Emergency situation. I never knew the first thing about it and thought that she was either Gandhi's wife, or daughter 8) before I read this, and had never heard of the Emergency, and it made me be like wow, theres a whole huge amount of things I dont know about india and its history and it got me all into it now. So at the moment India is my obsession, but not just that time period of the Emergency, but the cultures and traditions and stuff too, the way that the british ruled it for a long time, the way Pakistan used to be a part of it til they did the Partition, the old custom of sati where widows would climb onto their husbands funeral pyre and burn themself alive, all that. theres just so much to learn, its mad intriguing to me right now. Im in a phase that I just am mad absorbed in anything I can learn about it, like Im starving for anything related to that. So, to answer my own question, yea im definately in a "india phase" right now.
Also, whenever Im into somethin like this, every little thing I learn is mad interesting to me, so Im always tryna talk about it with people, and then I realize they just aint interested when every half hour as I read i stop to be like "oh hey did you know that....." So, here is the spot to share any of your interesting facts that you are learning too. Id love for this thread to not only be a spot to share my passion of the moment but to also learn from other peoples.
So, anyways, how about yall? Wats the subject that you are really into right now, that you just cant get enough of and want to learn more about? It aint necessarily gotta be a place or time or w/ever, maybe you read a newspaper article about a local santeria priest or somethin and now you got all curious about Santeria, who knows. I think we all go thru these periods of bein kinda obsessed with a particular subject and learning all we can about it so I would love to hear about everybody elses.
