Waiting for something better is getting redundant.

What if we don't come up with something? What's the next step for video games and their consoles? 50 years ago we were projecting ourselves into the future, the 2000s and beyond, with space colonies and extraterrestrial contact. Nowadays, we put the game stories in the past, to ancient civilizations to combat dragons and monsters.

What's next for the internet? What about the government? Corporacracy- corporations that act as a governing body over an area of land and a group of people. One nation under Walmart. Hail, Mac.

The next best thing doesn't even exist for religion because anyone who claims themself a prophet is criticized, ostracized, and is told s/he belongs in an asylum.

Everything is just a copy of a copy, in which we are trying to reinvent the wheel but it's starting to get redundant.

Scientists cannot even think of life forms that aren't similar to the ones on this planet. How parochial! How narrow-minded and vain to assume all life forms ought to be like us! Who's to say another life form needs temperate climate and oxygen to breathe? Homo sapiens could be something unique to this planet alone and like no other. Why should we assume that all other life forms ought to be like us? Because we're superior? Intelligent? Destructive?

It's obvious why there are no radically new ideas being created and shared: We judge anything and anyone that doesn't fit into our neat little conceptual box labelled "Normal." We assume that everyone should maintain the same spectrum of ideas as ourselves, and that anything past that is ostracized and denied. We still have a hard time accepting someone based on their sexual orientation and sexual identity, but we accepted the internet and cell phones and video games that condone destruction. We accepted the fact that democracy and capitalism are the best ways to go and shun those who decide otherwise; giving power to the masses, how radical! But one of the biggest obstacles today is marriage equality.

We sit and wait for something better to come along as we play on our iPhones and the internet, complaining about the lag time and how our battery is going to die because Temple Run is sapping it away. We wait for others to come up with better ideas because it's someone else's job, right? Right?!

No. Wrong.

Self-Preservation through gradual self-destruction

And here I am picking myself apart again.

The self-destruction we engage in slows and becomes gradual in our efforts of self-preservation. As darkness is the absence of light, life is the absence of death, and death absence of life.

Another thought to be thunk

We never seem to thank the people that need the thanks the most, those who truly deserve it. We don't always remember to thank the people who do the most for you, probably because we overlook it or forget about it, or maybe because we're too plain shy and scared to. 

The thanks these people deserve are rarely given and always appreciated. The rarity of it is perhaps the reason as to why it's always appreciated. And perhaps, that thanks needs to be said more often after all, sacrificed the most for you?

The World Over

And I would look up and down the world for you. I'll turn over every leaf and every stone just to find you. The deepest depths of the darkest caves and oceans couldn't frighten me. The monsters in this world could never hold me back for long as the tallest mountains will never be an obstacle.

Because the thought of being in your arms is all the strength I need to turn the world over just to find you.

What the hell do we really care about?

Have you ever read the news and wondered why the hell people wonder about certain things?

Why do we need to know about the latest fashion trends when NASA's budget was cut and earth science will come to a halt?

Why do we need to know about what Lindsey Lohan is doing when people are being victimized and oppressed world wide and she's snorting cocaine?

Can we please re-evaluate our priorities?

The future

Doesn't it bother you that we spend so much money to get an education, just to be unemployed when we graduate college?

How about when we pay taxes and bills for the car and house, which we use to live in and transport us to work to earn more money to pay more bills and taxes?

I don't want a system to rule my life. Where's my self-governance?

Broke and beat, like a battered drum.

Last time, I thought the plunge would hurt. But it didn't.

What they don't tell you in school is that not all relationships leave you  broken and torn up.
