an unmistakeable dripping starts,
a viscous liquid falling from an open wound. |

the noise is deafening, as if everyone had risen
from their graves to mourn what has become of their world.
something hard and carved out of stone hits a precious peice of fine china.
someone's family heirloom breaks and falls to the floor,
and a chain of generations held together by a simple thread
comes completely undone. lightbulbs shatter,
spreading waves of broken glass
over the spent carcasses of the lamps they used to inhabit. |

if you don't have something on your mind that's making you angry, either
you're very very drunk, or you aren't paying attention. let me offer some
things up for you to pick at and fuel your adrenaline rushes. how about rfid
tags being put inside lipstick containers so that companies could monitor their
customers? if you didn't know about that already, pay more attention.
i'm supposed to be working on a presentation for a communications class
right now. the vast majority of the things we do
consist of things that we're told to do, things we feel compelled to do because
no one has offered a reason for why we shouldn't perpetuate a cycle that's been
in place since before we were all born. |
the bills you pay, getting "work" done, going to school, going to class, going
to your job, or going to some party simply because somebody sent you an
embossed invitation; these are not always the best things you could be doing
with your time. how many of you have simply gone to school every day, and
didn't pay attention? if you went, you should have paid attention, right? not
necessarily. the harsh truth is, the system has failed us. this sort of deficit
then leaks into the quality of the things that we, as citizens or denizens of
this country and planet, are supposed to just go about doing. if i beleived in
regret, i'd probably be remorseful that i never listened to half of the things
my teachers told me in high school. |
| at the same time, however, i don't feel
anything about it now, because regret is a pointless emotion.
what matters is what we do with the extroardinarily small bit of time we have
on this rock to find something that truly invigorates us. i don't know what
that is for you, it's different for everyone. what matters to me, at least, at
this point in my life, is to be the harbinger of truth. i want to help people
peel the red tape back, and pull off the big dogmatic blindfolds.
here's an experiment to help illustrate my point. do something you enjoy,
anything, i don't care, and it's not pertinent to this at all. |
| now, ask someone
of supposed authority, such as a parent or a spouse, if you can go do this
thing, the longer the time frame you ask, the better this will work. whoever
you ask, unless they too know that time is a big fucking illusion will probably
start listing things you have to do. now, here's the experiment: see how many
times this person says the following things "because i said so," "because you
need to," or something similar to that effect. |
| if they repeat what you need to
do, but they still provide no reasoning, tell them to get a personality.
personalities are hard to come by, but it seems that far too few people
actually have one of their own.
so what does this have to with i'm not doing a particular peice of
"work?" to you the truth, it's because this is important to than
some jackass presentation for a class i'm not interested in. lately, i find
myself wondering what i'm doing in . everyone does at point, this
is entirely normal for student, or student at . |
