Early Morning Revelations

Feb 24, 2004 04:45

You wake up, you do your thing, you go to sleep. You are born, you do your thing, you die. Define "your thing."

My thing is: reading, learning, expanding what I already know. Finding new ideas, new perspectives and exploiting them to the fullest. I've done this for as long as I can remember, I've gone through many stages of life, true, but I've always been on the look out for something I can debate, or use for my own twisted purposes. I find comfort in confrontation. I find support in words. I cherish the idea of meeting my intellectual superiors. I support independant though. I loath close mindedness. I despise ignorance. I hate these words: ghetto, fabulous, 'nigga', fine, cute, redeemer, 'reality television'. I will argue until I am proven wrong (which is a rare thing but I will not deny the fact that I am human and as such a being of mistake) or until you realize your a fucking moron. That is 'my thing.'

One day we will all die, and when we do, how many of us want to be remembered as an idiot? The village drunkard, or the dunce, the D+ student(But he tries really hard!)? I know I don't. I want to be remembered as a man who could not learn enough. I want my name to ring out in all those who have been left in my wake, I want my legacy to be knowledge. Wisdom is for old men, knowledge is for all mankind, if you are brave enough to search for it.
