This is it, three more days of school and never again will I have to bend my knee to the call of the almighty public education system. I am free, to fly above all of this. It was good knowing all of you, really it was, I learned so much from each and everyone of you. But now it is time for me to leave. Good bye and good luck, because now the real ( Read more... )

The last grains of high school are finally tumbling down the hourglass of youth. I am incapable of containing how elated I am that I will be free of this mediocrity. A few days more, and I fly from this cage of dilettantes and supplicants of past glories. I will soar high into the skies of the unknown, through dark clouds of doubt and bright clouds ( Read more... )

"What then is truth? A movable host of metaphors, metonymies, and; anthropomorphisms: in short, a sum of human relations which have been poetically and rhetorically intensified, transferred, and embellished, and which, after long usage, seem to a people to be fixed, canonical, and binding." - Friedrich Nietzsche ( Read more... )

As I travel through life, I find myself more aware of the subtle truth that our lives really are used in diabolic power games. We are nothing more than game pieces used to win a game of mortal consequence, and the players are individuals, cartels, and organizations that we never know have a hand in the progress of our lives. Usually they work ( Read more... )

I just don't get it, if you know that you are breathing the next day and you have another chance at the future, cause we all know we'll never have the past, then why is everyone so sad? Is it a matter of contrast that forces us to realize that we are blessed with life and the ability to feel pain and joy? Must we lose all of that, or at least lay ( Read more... )

My life as of late has been epic in the scope of past years. Looking back at my senior year of highschool, I find myself in shock that I have endured and experienced the imminence of my own death, the death of two of my uncles, my endeavours with banking and mortgage brokering, my acceptance into college, and countless other events that cannot be ( Read more... )

I have fought in this war for years now. My wounds have scarred, and my heart has hardened. I am the last surviving soldier from my unit, the rest have fallen to the weapons of destiny. Nick, Gary, Dominic, Noa, Lochlan, Harry, Roy, and so many more victims of death, prison, drugs, and abuse. But now, someone new has joined me. She has tended to my ( Read more... )

Here I stand, surrounded by the surging masses gyrating foolishly hoping to prove something to themselves. They hope to prove their happiness, sexuality, social standing. I can see quite plainly that there is a facade of emotional freedom by their darting eyes and exaggerated expression as they move with uniform style. I am embroiled in their ( Read more... )

It takes a great deal of work being human, you know, experiencing emotion on a personal scale. Every day we try so hard to rise above the pettiness of life, but when we actually succeed we find ourselves so distant... so detached from expression. We still feel passionately about those we've loved and lost, but we are at loss as to how to cry, to ( Read more... )

I stumbled briefly after the events of this weekend, but I have gained my footing again and I am pressing forth. Earlier this month I came to full conscience that life is a war. Every endeavor, a battle. Every person, a nation. Perhaps that is why governments are so soluble to the human race. Some nations band together for safety, others align ( Read more... )
