Subject: Je ne care pas
I'm having an exsistential dilemma. Why did I go to school today? So I can go to college. Why do I want to go to college? So I can (maybe) get a job that doesn't suck. Why do I want a job that doesn't suck? Because it beats a job that sucks? For the money? Why?

Honestly, is that all there is? If so, why bother? So you don't starve? But what's it matter whether you starve or not if life is just working, sleeping, and dying?

As far as I can tell, Hemingway was right. Life is pointless. Or if it ever had a point, it's been destroyed by greed and conformity.

Tomorrow's friday. The weekend. Not that it matters. We'll just have to go back to school again on mundane. And tuesday. And the rest of the year. So they give me 2 days off where I'm not completely institutionalized. Am I supposed to be grateful that the powers that be pretend to throw me a bone?
Well I'm not. I'd be grateful if they'd just leave alone altogether, though. But then I'd never learn to survive in this rigid, presumptuous, society. What a fucking pity.

Je suis tres pissed off.

So you can get money to live. And support a family maybe.

I don't know.

Ditto.

I'm thinking of living in a cave in the wild.

I've beent hinking the eaxct same thing lately. We're here for, what, 70 years? Maybe less? And why don't we want to starve? We'll die someday anyway, unless Jesus finally comes back.

I'm thinking of running off to the middle east and rescuing a band of Cushite orphans. God knows they need help.

Well, the reason why I am where I am is simply because there are others here, and it is where I may have the greatest impact. I try not to focus so much on future jobs and school, and much more on my friends, and, well, God. Since, to me, that's really all that matters. I want to have a nice job so that I may have some flexibility and freedom in what I do, but it's one of the many keystones in my bridge-o'-life...
