I had a crazy idea just now.
Everything in life seems so dictated. You can make your own decisions, as long as they're in the realm of what's "best for you," of course deemed so by authoritative figures surrounding you at all hours. Shit, even down to watching TV, you can only pick and choose from so many options. No matter how many channels they throw at you, they're all the same, and will all leave you completely unsatisfied. I guess that's a fucked up metaphor for what I'm trying to say. The fact of the matter is free thought in this society is looked down upon. Things from stem cell research, to abortion, alternative fuels and raising your kids without the fear of CHRIST are all considered immoral and dangerous to our culture. Even though, in many cases, they can save lives or our complete and finite existence.
So, why not, for a few nights out of every month, just say fuck everything, pack your bags and head west? One of my best friends I've ever had just shipped off to the military. No one is gonna wait around for you. Some day you'll be on your own, stuck in a miserable routine of a paycheck to paycheck, rent to rent, fuck to fuck world. While we're young, why not make our lives mean something? Write some poetry, stare a hole in the stars, what the fuck ever. I just hope that this generation can outgrow the prior by miles and miles.
So, one of these days, I'm gonna hop a train to the west coast and see where it takes me. Anyone who'd wanna come is more than welcome. We can sleep on the beach all night if we dont got a ride.
