tune in, drop out
i need to figure out what i'm going to do with my life. i've never been a person with strong desires and wants and that is no good.
we watched a video in history today about the counter-culture movement that began in the 50's with the beat-niks and then flourished in the 60's. it had different hippies talking about love and peace and all the their screwed of philosophies on life: drugs, sex, new age thought, eastern religions, crap like that. i saw how all these people basically just used what they were given and were just internally focused. the only reason they were able to live like that was because of the country and values that they rebelled against. being lazy is not social protest and taking drugs and screwing around won't bring you and true peace or happiness.
as critical as i am of that movement and what it has evolved into now, it helped me see aspects of myself that need to die. i still don't study much, i still enjoy my sittin' around time, and i still don't like making sacrifices when their not on my terms.
this isn't condemnation and me throwing a pity party. i know i get down on myself and over analyze things, but this is just something that i need to change. i'm going to be 21 in january and don't even have half the credit hours i should and have no clue what to do with my life expect for the obvious and cliche goals that most people have.
blah blah blah, talk is cheap.
