snow days.
bad because i'm bored as hell. and with recent events, i'm pretty much stuck at my house for the rest of my teenage life.
still i build my towers high, i watch them pierce the blue, blue sky. still i wallow in the mire, still i burn this earthen fire.
on the other hand...i finally had time to finish "the sirens of titan." i'm going to finish all of vonnegut's books before i'm 18. new goal of mine.
wrote a song which i'm kinda proud of. yay.
enough gloating.
you know who was a genius and a great man? john lennon.
"i'm not afraid of death because i don't believe it it. its just getting out of one car and into another."
dont know why that quote struck such a hard chord in me. i've pretty much settled on the fact that there is no certain point to anyones life. each individual person was not put here to complete a certain task. the point of living is to live. the fact that one is living is grounds enough to live.
have you heard about the myth of sisyphus? you know..the one where he is doomed for all eternity to push a boulder up a mountain, and everytime he gets close to the top, it falls back down and he has to start all over again? well...his whole life was from then on exerted to accomplishing nothing. kind of the point i'm trying to make? anyway. don't remember any of this.
went to the middle school concert last night. I really enjoyed the chorus, seeing as it wasnt the same old songs. new teacher, new tunes. and they were really good, too. not even kidding. the bands...well, i wont be there when the 6th and 7th grade kids will be there, but its looking good for our music department.
pointless entry, strike it all from your memory.
p.s. i've never felt this way before...but i like it.
