you are going to have influences, but what will they be?
can you chose what will determine you?
Is it possible to raise any children i might have without tv? away from shopping malls? could i feill their lives with so many good and wonderful things tthat they will not feel at a loss when they learn of the world beyond our own?
i used to fight miserably with my mom when i was 13. she didn't have it all in perspective, and then when i came of age i did soemthing about it. a real activist. we would have screaming matches. maybe we just take out on our moms what we feel for the world. or maybe it all remains experimental, like, i saw this on tv once, and if this is what people do, i'm anxious to do it. you know, i see a lot of that in my own life. sometimes, i'll caress a lover or something the way i saw the men touch the women in movies. or say something. that's what i mean by influence. i am so liquid. i will take the shape of my container.
so, say i found some discipline... would i then return to the first set of morals i had and stick to them NOW?
there is a magic in the young. and you and me guys, we ain't no young like they're young. in some countries, we're within a decade of natural death. i have to invent enthusiasm for a lot fo things... and when you're 13 or 14, its burning you up inside. so wonderful.
and our culture just wastes it. like everything else.
what's worse? yeah?
i am my culture. i know, i know.
those engineers at lehigh (by the way did i mention i spent the night at lehigh university thursday, had a blast, met a lot of engineers, worked on a song i am collaborating on with my friend there, and ate two hot dogs with all the works before i caught my bus, which was 20 minutes late) they told me that an engineer's motto is "something is wrong. what can i do to fix it?"
that is NOT an english major's motto,
but i am no longer an english major. so bottom's up.
somebody write me and tell me what gets you really excited and worked up, apart from intercourse, flirting, parties, drugs, booze, the easy stuff. the inyourface stuff.
nice sunday, everyone!
can you believe it rained yesterday???
