another ho hum : yet productive
school
I went to public speaking class. i feel so odd in that class because there are so many people there who are younger than i am. although...there is this cool cat who is in my class who was destined to attend purdue university but, after a serious car accident, he decided that life was too short to do minor bullshit like attend college and study robotics. instead...he toured america in a volkswagen bus. come on, now that is the life. i would love to do that. actually...i have always wanted to do that. i have always wanted to purchase a volkswagen bus and go on the road. i didn't even do that with the dead! eventually he bought a school bus and lived in that for over a year. i wish i had the balls. cool cat though and i am sure we will become friends and colleagues.
non.school
i am watching one of my favorites...woodstock the movie. i was born in the wrong generation. i mean. i know i was meant to born when i was but my soul carried over from the sixties. i was meant to be a part of the 'peace and love' generation. i was meant to be a part of one of the most important generations to ever grace the planet. the most important music. the most important causes. it's a shame. but if i wasn't a part of this generation, then i wouldn't have jean. now THAT is a reason to want to be here NOW;)
ramblings
you ever wish we didn't have technology? i mean...in less than a year, my career will be in technology. but do you ever wish for those days? those days when we didn't know of the internet? the day when there was no such thing as a cell phone? i wish i could have lived in those days. i did but only when it was just starting out. even i, as a young child in second grade, touched a computer. that was what...1985? i was playing 'oregon trail' on an apple IIe. we are slowly but surely turning to zombies. think about it...all we do is talk to a machine. it's coming to the point where i think every child born should be endorsed by a cell phone company and an ear piece be surgically sewn in at birth. cut out the middle man. technology will bring me a job...that's it. after work, i am away from the tech world. i'm just tired of all the cell phones i think. people think they are so damn important because they are talking on cell phone ear piece. you aren't that important. everyone has one now. when you are on vacation, leave work at home...
technology for good only...i wish.
