I am what every American boy wants to be
I miss Bellingham. The only reason I enjoy coming home is so I can see Amber... other than that I have no desire to be home really. Meh.
I really like going to school in Bellingham, although I still don't know what I'm going to major in or anything like that. I figured that I'm not going to worry about what type of job I'd want to do. I don't think I'll ever be able to think up a dream job, so whatever. I was actually going to look at the schools website for major/minors, but it isn't working and it's slightly irritating.
I'm having a cluster of thoughts.
I hate how religion is the most relevent topic in politic(ian)s. I can't go a day without hearing how this guy is mormon and this guy is catholic and this guy is muslim... it's just become a form of separation versus a form of unification. I just hate how to run for president, you have to have such a deep faith in God. And you have to be rich. It's funny how they say "OH, anyone can be president!" but if you look at it, it's not true. So many presidents are related throughout history, and if Clinton wins the presidency, it means that a Bush or Clinton will have been in office since 1988. And if she has an 8 year term, it would be 28 years of 2 families in power. Sounds like fascism to me. President has waaaay too much power anyway. The american political system is becoming a joke and is in desperate need of reform. It's become everything our 'founding fathers' designed it NOT to be.
I also hate how people don't understand that alcohol is a drug, and it is a more detrimental one than to some drugs that are illegal. I just think it's really funny how it's so socially acceptable whereas it's destroyed soooo many lives and families. Nicotine too. I just hate how people drink and say that drugs are bad, because their logic is so twisted it's ridiculous. Alcohol is a very dangerous thing, it's just socially acceptable. I kind of hate the irony.
Does anybody realize that we are living on stolen land?
Does anybody care about inner-city schools and the disparity level between races?
Are you aware of how special this opportunity to live is and how lucky you are? And yes, we have it easier than about 95% of EVERYBODY ELSE on earth, and yet it's so easy to find something to complain about. I don't care how hard you have it, we are in luxury. Just look at the clean water and insulation we take for granted.
I guess I'm just tired of society. I actually find myself feeling bad for Brittney Spears... she's nothing more than a caged animal, something you'd expect to find at a zoo. We treat her like an animal... she's gone completely insane, and it's the publics fault. Her life is ruined because so many people have nothing better to do than obsess over her life and casually watch it on VH1. It's kind of pathetic, how obsessed we are with celebrities. It's actually extremely pathetic.
Whenever I turn on the TV, I can't help but notice all of the people lying and stealing. I saw this advertisement for a weight-loss pill, and it blames your problems on work and stress and claims that you should be ashamed about your extra weight. So it targets problems that everyone can relate to and just goes on to make you feel shittier about yourself. People will do anything to each other to get some extra cash in their pockets. It's the most exploitive form of high school of all time. I hate how we all have to become of this society that does nothing but invoke shame on all of our deepest insecurities and sacrifices our most fundamentally moral nerve for an easy way out, a quick buck. We're all gonna end up being sell-outs, generally speaking.
All I'm going to worry about is my girl and my work. I know how desperately I want not to be a slave to all of this, but to a degree it's inevitable. But hey, we can all be martyrs if we want to. I just want to do something that helps instead of hinders this just crusade I plan on boarding.
I already want to go back to school and start classes... I'm just tired of living at home already. I love Bellingham. The only good thing is, like I said, I can see Amber, which makes it worth it. It's hard to go through such long stretches away, and it's nice to see her more often than every weekend or whatever. She makes me happy.
I get to start being a kick-ass uncle next week. I'm sending my nephew a christmas card and I'll be seeing me niece next week. I'm excited. I'm going to teach them both how to snort cocaine and sneak water bottles of white wine to school. Just because I'm fly like that.
My thoughts are clustered right now and I just need some rest I think. I was actually really excited to look at all of my options for what I can major/minor in. But since the website is down I can't look at an updated catalog. I just think having a little direction goes a long way, and I actually really like learning. Not so I can memorize facts and show them off to my friends or because I want to validate myself with knowledge or live up to some kind of potential. People miss out that we seek out knowledge so it can one day translate out to wisdom. Facts are useless and middle eastern politics only go as far as your voicebox floats through airwaves. I just want to have a well-versed view of the world that I don't do around showing off. I like reading. I like realizing there's no such thing as truth and facts, just interpretations and opinions. The only important things in this world are outspoken opinions and interpretations of things we deem important. The news we watch is just opinion, it's just as biased as any other foreign news source. For all we know, America could be awful. That's what half the world thinks anyways, maybe they have a point. If facts were what mattered, then we'd all have Ph.D's. Anyone can go to college and get an A. It's not hard. The hard thing is understanding the world we're living in and what the hell is going on around us.
