| the last time i wrote something was 8 days ago. i think of things throughout the day that i'd love to write in here, but by the time i get home from school, the only thing on my mind is food. and music. by the time i do go online, my passion and ability to communicate it is diminished. then i make an attempt at homework and fall asleep after reading my "roots of civilization" book until dinner time. speaking of, history education is vital to appreciating and enjoying life. it also helps to point out how lame our current civilization/culture/society is. any way you slice it, we are lame as hell because we have not advanced as human beings the least bit. but, you ask, what about how "smart" we are? what about our medicine and our technology? what about our cars and our cell phones? well kids, what about human beings, in the flesh, in the soul? what about that? 5,000 years ago, people were killing each other. 5,000 years ago, there were social classes, tyrants, wars, persecution, slavery, and prejudice. hey, those don't sound like foreign words. how come i understand what those things are? i thought things would've been different five fucking thousand years ago. silly me. and about 2,500 years ago, money was introduced into classic greek civilization. pythermus, an ionian poet, wrote, "there's nothing else that matters - only money." twenty-five hundred years later, that statement still holds true. let's all take this moment to congratulate each other on having accomplished nothing. we're as productive as ants, and just as important as the ones you crush with your doc martens. |

We've made ourselves lazier, we've made ourselves much more materialistic, we've discovered new and creative ways to ignore our family and our minds, and we've created exciting new ways and reasons to kill ourselves/each other/our planet! WOOT! |
