random shit
I am so frustrated. I've been really thinking about this whole voting thing. when i turned 18 and registered to vote i was so excited, but i'm not sure i am anymore. it seems like none of the candidates really care about how much good they could do as president, all they care about is winning. i used to think, "ok, so i'll vote for the lesser of the evils" but now i'm just so discouraged. i can't just totally support anybody who is running right now b/c i just don't have much respect for any of them. yeah, i'm sure they have their positive points as people but, dammit, i feel like i'm voting for a product and not a person. ok, so i don't mean to sound all anti-government, i'm not. but lately i've found it kinda hard to be "proud to be an american." this just sucks so much. i feel like a traitor by talking like this, it's just how i feel right now.
ok, this might be a little off of the subject, but i'm on a role so i'm going to continue bitching. i am sick and tired of people being idolized. there is not a person on this earth who is worthy of the kind of attention that a lot of famous people get. what i don't get is why people are idolized just because they are good at pretending to be someone else. i mean, it's a talent i'll give you that and there is definitely and art to acting, but there are so many things that require so much more learning and work to be good at and when someone is, no body notices. you could be a complete idiot and still be a successful actor/singer/whatever. the people who should be looked up to are those that don't succumb to glamour and media. those that don't give a crap. but, then again, this world seems to revolve around those that fit the mold, doesn't it? i don't know, i just believe so firmly that people's "i don't care about anyone but me it's their problem i don't care it's not worth it i don't wanna rock the boat" attitudes are life ruining. think about it! if people weren't so self absorbed and selfish, so many people would be so much happier. but it has become popular to do things because you want to. to accept something just because you seem to want to do it so bad. did it ever occur to anyone that we are naturally evil? our nature is carnal and violent and dangerous. if we give in to it, we are not better than animals. but we are certainly more dangerous b/c we can do a hell of a lot more damage. i know i'm jumping around a lot, but hopefully those who read this will be able to put some of it together and kinda get what i'm trying to say.
ok one more thing...
apathy is probably one of the most dangerous attitudes one can have. it is/will be extremely destructive. i can't stress that enough.
