Thoughts on July

It is only when we have been beaten do we truly understand our enemy. My enemy in this case being myself, as I continually sabotaged pretty much every opportunity I have been given. Anger is a powerful emotion and I unfortunately caught myself being infuriated with my life all too often. I'm stubborn, I'm obnoxious, and I don't like people telling me what to do. These traits were the root of some issues that led to some dire consequences. Thus I am here. Monday July 12, 5:35 AM. Tomorrow I embark on a pseudo-spiritual cyclone of free expression, to a place where there is absolute independence from the oppression of a bloated and intolerant society that ignores the progression of humanity from superstition to comprehension. Somethings are too difficult to understand given our current capacity but that does not stop me from trying to find it out. It is this curiosity that drives me.

We all have a part to play in the future of our world. There are many different paths but only a few basic truths: everyone deserves the opportunity to be happy; no one god is better than any other, if such a thing as a deity exists; we are but a speck on the timeline of the universe so do what you can to make it interesting. Optimism and cooperation is the way to a brighter future, from a personal level to the international stage. The world is changing and only this generation, my generation, a generation born into the information overload of the Internet, has the ability to steer clear of destruction. We are equipped with laptops and cellphones that can put China in our living room. We can explore like never before as this is uncharted territory, a massive petri dish of a digital experiment that could hold the resolution to that perpetual question: What's next?

My writing teacher said to avoid the first-person, but I feel the time for objectivism is over. It is time to stand up, as many have done before to oppose to status quo, to ignite the fire of passion and creativity, take back the world that has been seized by greed and cheap entertainment. The time is now, the future is here, no more holding back. Let us make our world beautiful again and like a flood of Biblical proportions, it will wash away the grime and filth that hamper our genetic need for evolution. Stop ignoring reality and start living it.


with the greatest hope for the future,
