Growing old is not the same as being old. Growing up is not the same as being grown up. Nor is it the same as being a grown up, nor is it the same as maturing. Some people are past the point of ridicule. MUST THIS GO ON!!!!!!!!!??????? Must I sit here and stare in belief? I wonder what I was like. I would ask somebody, but, nobody was looking. Including myself. It's funny when people, such as me, and such as my friends, and my acquaintances, enemies, and other earth-bound human beings, analyze themselves. I mean, you're only one person. How the hell do you know what you're like? You've only got one view on the whole thing, and from where you're standing, all you can see is the ground. A mirror does not reflect what look like, nor does it reflect who we are. It merely projects what we conceive of ourselves. Our own opinion on what we look like. On who we are. Do we even really have a clue? What if we don't look at all what we imagine ourselves, "see" ourselves to be? I believe the American Justice system did it best when it lost its faith in the human soul and demanded justice on a much more (never did I say completely) unbiased level. Sure, it is flawed. But then again, so is the human race. It is up to the viewer, the common conceiver, to decide which is less, and which is more. You have my opinion. Stop looking in the mirror, you aren't who you think you are.

I heard she had a style
And so I came to see her
And listened for a while"
