Keepin’ It Oldschool AGAIN!

December ‘07

“Where to start, where to start…

Since every now and again I’ll get unbelievably frustrated by how people handle themselves these days, and I’ll inevitably post some long ranting bulletin about how much it bothers me, I’ve decided to try and put some of those thoughts into a blog, so I can just refer to this when needed. Keep in mind, whenever I post the bulletins, I’m usually very angry, so I might not get the same effect in here, but I’ll try.

To be blunt, everybody is incredibly selfish, and refuses to realize everything that they have in front of them. Shame on you! I’m always seeing and hearings kid constantly talking shit on themselves, their freinds, and their family. I always read long drawn out rants about how much a kid hates their lives over the most petty shit imaginable, and most of the time it pisses me off. Can any of you grasp what that statement even means? You hate your life. You’re fucking LIFE! Over what, a botched relationship? Or maybe your parents like to yell every now and again? Welcome to the thing I like to call ‘growing up’. Instead of hating your life, try and realize how beautiful it really is.Compared to the universe, you’re a speck, a tiny piece of dust, but yet you’re given the chance to live. You are able to see, to breath, to think, to walk, to touch, to smell, the list seriously goes on. Don’t you ever feel lucky? Lucky that you were born on a piece of rock that happens to be able to support life? Fucking right I am. Either I’m who I am, a little shitbug in the middle of the woods, or I am non-existant.

I don’t know, that seemed kind of, trippy didn’t it? It was way to vague for my argument. But basically, I wish people would stop and count their blessings. I don’t care how cliche that sounds, because it never gets old. Regardless of what your stupid teenage head tells you, you have friends. You have people there for you at ALL times, please do not forget that. And no matter how many times your parents yell at you, they still love you. I remember one time, I read a bulletin where a girl talked about how much she hated her mom because she wouldn’t let her move out. HEY YOU! Maybe she isn’t letting you leave because she doesn’t want you to leave her, not because she hates you. She’s your mom, she loves you, she doesn’t want you to abandon her at your age. Realize this!

Now, I know a lot of people have some serious problems, everything affects everyone differently. But I just want people to realize how old they are, and how much time they have left on the earth. Do you ever feel like your week drags on? Imagine thousands and thousands more of them. You have so much time to make shit better, to make yourself happy. Don’t feel like one event is going to ruin your life forever, because it’s too early to tell. You always read stories where successful people in our world didn’t find their talent until they were around our age. You’re life, if anything, is just beginning.

I dare you to go up to any adult in your life, and ask them if they’ve ever dealt with some of the shit you deal with. Chances are, yes. Now ask them if they gave up – the answer should be so obvious.

Really people, just be happy with the shit you got now, if anything, accept it. Good and bad, accept it. You could wake up tomorrow and be two-million dollars richer, or find your friend dead on your couch. That anticipation alone is enough to keep me going.

I believe in all of you, I believe every human being has the potential to change everything, and I mean everything. I believe we all have an immense amount of good in our beings, and I believe that this good in all of us with make everything better. I just hope you all can find a way to believe too.”
