Tune Out

I retweeted the screenshot above about a somewhat mundane statement about Bill Gates and PM Justin Trudeau. I wonder why it had to be published unless the Telegraph would like to subliminally communicate that interactions with the PM have a tendency to be non-stimulating. 

Such a sad reality about human interaction. I try my best to make the most out of each interaction--I magnify each detail to maximize the moment. Of course, there's a tendency for me to tune out of the superficial (e.g. topic of conversation) and laser focus on a person's voice, smell, mannerisms, even whatever curious sensation I'm experiencing during the interaction. I wish I could record everything; as in capture each moment--everything about the moment/memory. Alas, every present moment immediately becomes the past in a second. 

There are occasions when I seem tuned out and that's been pointed out to me often. I'm still in the moment but maybe I felt a piece of whatnot stuck on my teeth and I felt the urge to look at the Apple sign (mirror) at the back of my phone to confirm--or maybe my attempt to focus on the person I'm talking to isn't translated well by my face. My expression could range from expressionless to wincing in pain. 

I wish I had eidetic memory and the capability to rewind each interaction. 

I also wish that the reason why Bill Gates would lug a microbiology book is because he's simply fascinated by the topic and not to blatantly insult a nation's leader. I like Bill Gates, he's cool. I don't think he's a rude snobby billionaire.
