And that is how it is. We are sad and desperate and angry and completely distraught. Too much goals, too much words, too much guides, too much surroundings, too much opinions, too much money, too much people trying to be people. Everywhere I look, people reek of now, past and both, but no tomorrow. Tomorrow is where no one dares to step, yet everyone plans for it. Sleep for tomorrow, sleep so you can eat. Where we live is nothing to compare. “Life gets much complicated as you get older.” It’s not true. It’s complicated because people need to make it so and when they do, they don’t know why they do it, nor do they know that they do it. Life is a simple thing—a cycle—that contravenes everything humanity stands for. Humans, beings of exceptional mind who have a tendency to complicate things to no limit. Life is a simple thing. Really, evidence that it is a simple thing is that it ends easily. Very easily. Controversy does not simply put you in discordance, but it prohibits relations with the original statement. Tell me, have you ever looked at the forest and seen a forest? Have you? No, I don’t think so. Nor have I. Nor has anyone. We don’t know anymore what horrors steep from the curves of disambiguated verification of a trembling mind on the verge of collapse. Problem is that we think too much and instinct is not about thinking; instinct is about acting. So what’s the problem? We don’t act. We should act. No matter what it is, we should act. But we can’t, can we? If there is one smart person in the world, he’s turned into a Hitler or a Napoleon, or a Stalin, so everyone just keeps quiet and philosophies to people around them—people who don’t give a damn and wail and wail and wail and have no backbone to act upon agreeing. Hypocrisy slithers into people, and thus it slithered into me. Yes, I’m a hypocrite. So what? I don’t see shame. I tried at least. I’m a hypocrite who tried. People don’t listen. They’ll never listen, unless they’re threatened. They sit with their hands crossed and wail and wail and wail. Wail to yourself, go out into the world and stand tall and strong and change something. Wail to yourself because no one wants to hear it. Wail to yourself. Attempt to influence in revelation of possibilities of your desires. But then there is a problem for having too much desires. That’s where maturity comes in and where you greet inconvenience with convenience to supplement the society’s wishes and still get what you want without anyone knowing what, or how, you did it. We’re doomed as long as we need to have a force above us. No higher being will change the flow of the world. Probability of circumstance is the circumstance of probability, and you know it. Get a hold of now, forget about tomorrow, and spit on the yesterday. Tomorrow will never be prosperous as long as you wait for it. Tomorrow cannot prosper without today. Tomorrow is an illusion created by miscalculation of today. Think of today, for tomorrow may never come.

I drank a bit. That explains it.

no u

pics or it didn't happen (can't read the wall of text)

This may be entirely unrelated, but reading that actually reminded me of a conversation my Dad/Uncle/Dad’s cousins were having about a lack of responsibility in the world today (generalization, obviously not in referral to everyone.).

Ie: Kids can’t play tag at recess because it’s discriminatory to those who are slower; parks are getting rid of some swings, merry-go-round things, etc., because kids can get hurt; instead of duking it out with the other person (or just letting it go) you flay them with a lawsuit or sue them for money, or whatever; parents are blaming every condition a child receives on ADD or something, instead of believing that’s just how a child acts (well, that’s not really responsibility in terms of what I was saying before, but it’s still related.).

Oh geez, I’m coming up with a blank. They were talking about things along those lines (obviously more issues, but I can’t remember at the moment what the others were), so I’m sure you get the general idea. I dunno, I just think some of it’s stupid. I had good memories of playing dodgeball / tag dodgeball in school (they started to ban it when I was in sixth grade) and it was partly because of all the “tough guys” and whatnot that made it fun. It builds character.

Some of you are probably asking what that had to do with what Vince said (and quite frankly I wouldn’t blame you), but it was mostly his statement of “people should start embracing today and have a backbone” tied into “people are starting to have a lack of good character”. That was my general thought-pattern...

It's all the blanket. Totally.

And now...GIRLS ON TRAMPOLINES!!!

What's like wrong with her like... limbs? =/

I find the picture very creepy myself. Are they prosthetic? Rubber?

Well, vincent was trying to make a semi-serious topic here so maybe we can stick to it yea?

I'm gonna treat this as a rant to the world about the world kind of thing right? I was looking for something just like this it turns out anyway

I can laugh at everyone else's reply ('cept DB's) cus it sounds like they don't want to think about it all. Everyone knows there is merit to what you're saying, It's an ugly scary thing and we're all living it but don't want to admit it. It's hard doing something though when the world is stomping on your dreams with these complications you speak of. That said, you should have more faith in people, some of us can look at a forest and see a forest still And I for one look for that state of being on the verge of mental stability, it's a thrill - it's imagination, creativity at it's very rawest. And yea you have your dictators and new gen Hitler's rising and making heck for the rest of us, even so - there have been and are people working for a better world, they are just remembered and recognized less easily.

Being all doomsday and looking for negatives is terribly terribly easy, anyone can complain and it means your just giving up - don't MAKE people change, inspire them to. Try challenging yourself and be optimistic, ridiculously so, all the time. Me? I'm gonna save the world through music, gonna make a kick ass band that makes even better tunes and inspire good in people through the only medium humans have that speaks directly to the soul (that'd be music kids). That's my dream; it's not practical or realistic, but I work towards it everyday, gonna achieve it too - cus i'm one of those smart would be hilter's you were talking about, only i'll be saving people not killing them. I have goals, I work hard today, live for tomorrow, but I remember yesterday because without it, i'll have learned nothing. Yesterday is fine to remember, just so long as you don't dwell on it.

Quite the serious problem now isn't it? I'm to tired to rant right now..
