show em what your made of

hello random person who has stumbled upon my blog,
sorry its been awhile
i wish i could say i was out living life
rather life was living me
each day become more about the hours, minutes, seconds
than what I was getting out of my day
I hope you understand my train of thought
I just feel like life is just a stream of gray days
days that blend into the next one, a single viusal display of blurriness
and ordinary

when i was kid, this isnt the grown-up life I had expected to lead
when is your life supposed to begin?

musings...

It is currently 4:09 a.m. and I’m still awake. I wouldn’t say wide awake, because truthfully I am so tired. I’m tired from so many things. Life tires me.

It shouldn’t be this way. I mean, I’m only 20 years old and life tires me? Not exactly the carpe diem lifestyle I wish to portray.

School is school. I go there, and sometimes I really try to listen and maybe even learn. But I feel like they’re not even really teaching, that they just like listening to themselves speak, or rather drone.

Is that really what higher learning is supposed to be?

I honestly feel more educated after watching the Discovery channel than a three hour lecture about seafloor spreading.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Its been drilled into our heads since we were young, naive, little things that out generation was going to change the world, or at least rock the boat a bit…

Our generation is like the fat kid at the playground.
No one really wants to play with him, or even really acknowledge its existence. Yet their forced to play along anyways.

Life should be more
We should want more out of life.
We need to quit settling and maybe take a note or two from our parents and rock the boat just a bit. Speak our minds, protest, exercise a little civil liberty, and most of all be active and passionate about something. Just some thing.
