Its not everyday you come online and get a fresh revelation that your days are numbered. And that you haven't made a difference in the world. And that you haven't done much with the time you've had thus far- Even for those who make this time the best it can be.
"Lucky lucky you, to be young again"
"Out of time, out of luck"
It was 2am and I really didn't feel like explaining myself there and then. You're really a lucky guy you see. At least, you have time to wait things out, and she's still single, receptive and within reach. You're not spending the last 3 days of your free life fretting over whats going to come, and you have friends who support what you're doing. I'm out of time, out of luck and all out of guts.
I told you that love songs aren't good for self control. And that rules are rules and one has no choice but to wait. But I can't abide personally. And its different. Authentic legality is more burdensome then forbidden fruit, calls, lies and video tapes.- because everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial.
For these 2 days at least, I hope you will still have me. While you're burying your loneliness killing pixels, blasting songs and moping around, remember me, as I will remember you. We're all not as different as we make ourselves out to be.
The immersing nature of the media is just how Big Brother has evolved today. Its true, just like in the novel. Whips, chains and fire have been replaced by movies. magazines and music- laws and restrictions just aren't as persuasive as passive indoctrination. "Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing…With everyone’s imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world." Your attempts at personal expression through buying, saying, listening and doing what you want is exactly the "free will" corporations and commercials want you to have. Emo teens listening to sad songs will write self effacing poems and pour billions into the coffers of pharmaceutical companies who manufacture ineffective antidepressants. Spunky and adventurous young men and women will sign up for package tours to remote locations and line the pockets of airline and travel agencies. Connoisseurs of fine dining will flood to small and overpriced celebrity restaurants upon recommendation to sample exotic fair and fuel a cycle of waste and excess.
Epicurus may have been about 2360 years early but his philosophy is precisely what people think is the way things ought to be run today, and how governments and companies are glad to market that ideal. Conspiracy theorists are having a field day simply because their theories are has heretical as the idea that the world is round. We clamor for the truth but the truth really isn't what we want to know. How real is the truth as we see it, depends on how profitable the figures pulling the strings of the world deem it to be. I'm not saying we're never alone. But what I am saying is that you should never, for a single moment, think that you're an individual with am undeniable right and freedom to expression, belief and practice.
You're lucky, because you have a mom and a dad and a sister and brothers who love you. Because you live a normal life in a slightly abnormal world. Because your mother isn't a crazy psychotic who thinks the entire world is out to ruin her plans, throwing away random things and conducting strip searches on you to prove you're really her son and not an imitation. Because your father isn't pouring his money into a get rich scheme involving health products and diet pills that is supposed to help the family after retirement. Because your sister isn't a well sheltered fool whose world revolves around herself and her selfish desires. Because you can love your sister and be assured you can trust her simply because she isn't like a spy for your mother. Because you don't have to live with the knowledge that after you get your exam results back you're not going to be able to go to university. Because the girl you love does not have friends who are trying their hardest to stop you from getting near to her. Because the girl you love is still single and does not talk to you about how wonderful her boyfriend is. Because you aren't struggling with the concept that you may not really be in love but just in love with the concept of being in love. Because even though your friends have left for a while they still miss you enough to care. Because- just because life hasn't seemed to turn its back on you.
Will you even read this and shed a single tear?
I don't dream of living a great life, I lie to dream great dreams.
You have no one to talk to? Well, neither do i.
