|
||
Another exciting new series from the dusty old archives of an estranged mind...
|
||
This time...it's Midnight Philosophy - the incoherent, deranged, senseless,
|
||
fucked up babblings someone who should probably be sleeping... but then again,
|
||
LIFE is incoherent, deranged, senseless, and fucked up, so keep reading...
|
||
|
||
|
||
"Life is bullshit!"
|
||
|
||
Did you ever stop and think about the fact that so many aspects of life are
|
||
just plain BULLSHIT?? Tradition, things we do just because humans have been
|
||
doing them for thousands and thousands of years and nobody has ever dared (or
|
||
cared?) to do things differently. And when you look closely at most of those
|
||
things, some of them are so silly, so ridiculous... take this as an example.
|
||
|
||
This afternoon my mother told me to make my bed. Okay, I can deal with that...
|
||
but why? Why did it bother her that my bed was unmade? My room looks fairly
|
||
hospitable, and hasn't yet been condemned by the Board of Health, so I figure
|
||
I must be doing something right..but why make my bed if I'd just have to
|
||
UNmake it several hours later?? So my mother threw a big fit when I said this,
|
||
and we ended up getting into a stupid argument over it. All because of some
|
||
stupid "tradition"...
|
||
|
||
Does this sound petty, are you saying to yourself, who the fuck cares? But
|
||
think about it...how much time in life is wasted over arguing about stupid
|
||
little formalities and traditions like that?
|
||
|
||
So much of life is bullshit. Especially education. My little sister (the
|
||
infamous Gel) is a straight-A student who just finished the 6th grade.
|
||
She's one of those naturally smart kids who doesn't go psycho over school,
|
||
doesn't work abnormally hard, just does what she does and gets good grades.
|
||
She happened to get a B on her report card this quarter, and my parents
|
||
FREAKED OUT! I'm so sure it's really going to matter on her college appli-
|
||
cations five years down the line if she got a fucking B in Social Studies...
|
||
|
||
Most all of education is bullshit too. You know as well as I do that you can
|
||
get through school so easily by sitting on your ass doing nothing, only working
|
||
hard when you ultimately have to... It's so easy to sneak by the system these
|
||
days - there are kids who graduate every year who can't read, and nobody
|
||
ever catches it anywhere!
|
||
|
||
The things we get taught in high school...ask any adult who's not a bionic
|
||
astrophysicist and they'll say they never needed to know how to splice a
|
||
chromosome, use the quadratic formula, do synthetic division, or write a
|
||
chemically balanced equation... Why don't they spend more time teaching us
|
||
all stuff that's going to be USEFUL to us in the future, like how to survive,
|
||
how to make money, how to use a spreadsheat program, etc...instead of putting
|
||
so much emphasis on the past in History class, why not put more emphasis on
|
||
the PRESENT? My school offers no class such as current history, world
|
||
politics, etc... it's what's going on NOW that matters...
|
||
|
||
|
||
"Life is strange."
|
||
|
||
"Excuse me while I kiss the sky..."
|
||
|
||
People are so weird sometimes... when was the last time you actually had a
|
||
really really good conversation with someone? I'm not talking about just
|
||
discussing the Bulls or the weather or the greenhouse effect for ten minutes,
|
||
I'm talking about REALLY talking... you know, the kind where you're on the
|
||
phone with someone just talking about life for 4 hours straight? Yep, the
|
||
world seems to be running out of good conversations. The telephone has to
|
||
be the most ingenious invention ever made - take away the physical distrac-
|
||
tions and it's totally different... haven't had a conversation like that in
|
||
a long time. Either everyone simply sticks to everyday topics or else they
|
||
don't ever have "intimate" (no, that's not really the right word...how bout
|
||
deep?) conversations because they think it's weird... Dunno.
|
||
|
||
To all you conformists out there : Society is fucked up, you're fucked up,
|
||
they're fucked up, I'm fucked up, so LIVE WITH IT! And lay back and enjoy
|
||
it once in awhile...stop putting up false facades, there has to be a real you
|
||
in there somewhere, let's see him/her/it someday...
|
||
|
||
I drive, therefore I am: America's most misplaced value
|
||
|
||
"Hey you, out there in the cold, getting lonely getting old, can you feel
|
||
me..."
|
||
|
||
I think I'm hopelessly addicted to music. It's so easy to get lost in music,
|
||
no matter how messed up your life is getting, you can always turn on your
|
||
favorite tape and you can temporarily lose yourself in it. Kind of like a
|
||
drug but you don't use it up when you're listening to it... I even sleep with
|
||
music on, can't fall asleep without it... Mellow music is good especially for
|
||
that kind of thing - some good stuff to listen to if you're feeling really
|
||
depressed or lonely is Pink Floyd or Steve Vai... S.V. is all instrumental but
|
||
it just sounds cool...
|
||
|
||
"Man is the only animal that blushes, or needs to."
|
||
-Mark Twain
|
||
|
||
I wonder if you, if me, or if anyone else we know is ever going to make the
|
||
world a better place. I'm not talking about being the next president or
|
||
starring in a TV shit-com, but actually doing something for humanity...
|
||
Touching the life of someone... That's what I want to do when I grow up, too
|
||
bad doing good things for humanity often isn't accompanied by a nice six-digit
|
||
income...(or seven, for the way inflation is going)
|
||
|
||
What's there in life anyway? You get born, go to school for 20 years or so,
|
||
then you get a job and work the rest of your life, then you retire and get
|
||
old, and die... there has to be something more in between than that... What's
|
||
the key everyone keeps on searching for, that makes it all worthwhile? Love!
|
||
Love is the key to all of life on earth as we know it... So much more than
|
||
just a four-letter word... almost all our songs are about love... all our
|
||
poetry... love and it's isomers are used in advertising (if you buy a
|
||
Toyota, your sex life will improve because all those girls will see you
|
||
driving around in THAT CAR....) and everything else... most movies today
|
||
have something to do with love...
|
||
|
||
THEN WHY IS IT SO FUCKING HARD TO FIND SOMEONE TO LOVE???!!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!??!!
|
||
|
||
I dunno. Nobody knows. That's why we keep on trying to find the answers. You
|
||
love someone and they don't love you back. You love someone and they don't
|
||
know you love them but you're afraid to tell them or you'll feel like a fool.
|
||
You love someone and they love you too but you want someone more exciting. You
|
||
can't decide who to love, blah, blah, BLaH, BLAH!!!!!
|
||
|
||
There is so much pressure put on the world today... the media, your friends
|
||
and family, school, etc... everyone wants you to find a girlfriend/boyfriend
|
||
or you're "weird"... how the hell is somebody supposed to survive in this
|
||
day and age? Ideals are set up for us as kids... "Get an education, a good
|
||
job, a husband/wife, a nice house in suburbia, a nice car, 2.1 nice kids, a
|
||
dog named Spot, and make sure your 2.1 kids go to nice colleges, and there
|
||
you have it, voila, life in the 90's..."
|
||
|
||
ACK! Sounds so...bland, doesn't it? There has to be more... there has to be
|
||
more...but what is it? I'm not sure. If you figure it out, let me know.
|
||
|
||
So many things everyone wants out of life...what do I want? I want to make
|
||
the world a better place in some way, shape, or form, no matter how big or
|
||
how small... I want the world to understand me through my words and realize
|
||
there's more to me (and that there's more to everyone!) than meets the eye...
|
||
I want to be a friend to whoever I can... I want to travel and see the rest
|
||
of the world as it is, not through a book or magazine... I want to be famous
|
||
for more than fifteen minutes... but most of all I want to find somebody I
|
||
love and someone who loves me so I'm never alone and they're never alone...
|
||
|
||
Too much to ask for? Probably.
|
||
|
||
Oh well. Hell, I'm tired. Going to hit the sack...so much for midnight
|
||
philosophy... write your own, I (and most eveyone else) loves to read wacko
|
||
stuff, hopefully even incoherent 1:00am babbling...
|
||
|
||
Long live love, BLaH, Pink Floyd, purple koolaid, white Fieros, trying to find
|
||
I-55, me, you, and MTV...
