Futuristic Wonderment

How the FUCK am I supposed to know what to do after high school? Like we got people on both sides of the spectrum. My heart is not exactly helping me out too much either. My brain is too indecisive, and college is expensive. It's hard to know what you want, if you haven't done something before. You can never fully know what to expect, even though the label says, "YOU BELONG HERE". College is my next step, the big one of many, I just wish I was more motivated. Or maybe I wish I was more in tune with what it is I truly do want. If only the options could present themselves to me by smacking me in the face. There are so many things that could go wrong, and so many that could go right. I just hope that I don't lose sight.

USA: The Land of the Plenty

It is that famous year that all us American's look forward too; Thanksgiving. And why? Ask any person between the ages of 2-58 and they'll tell you. Food! As a modest person I must yes, this is why I like Thanksgiving too. But not to go without saying it shamelessly. On average, adults are 33.8% obese, which is one-third of U.S. adults. Approximately 17%, or 12.5 MILLION of children and adolescents aged 2-19 years of age are obese. That is a lot of fat individuals. On the contrary, 925 MILLION people do not have enough to eat. 98% of them live in developing countries. 10.9 MILLION children under five die in developing countries. 60% of those deaths can be accounted by malnutrition and hunger-related diseases. 571,950 people in America were expected to die from cancer in 2011. That's 1,500 people dying from cancer each day. Okay, time to compare.The only reason why cancer might be more prevalent coming from developing countries is because they encounter more cancer from disease. The diseases are, hepatitis virus (B & C), or human papillomavirus which causes 98% of cervical cancers.

I'm sure you are all bright enough to draw your own conclusions, or at least be able to finish mine. I am done trying to persuade people to think my way or not. It's quite exhausting actually. But here are the facts. Enjoy your Thanksgiving you fat fucks. ;)

"There is no region in the world that has a high incidence of breast cancer without a concurrent colon cancer burden."

"The Western lifestyle is characterized by a highly caloric diet, rich in fat, refined carbohydrates and animal protein, combined with low physical activity, resulting in an overall energy imbalance. It is associated with a multitude of disease conditions, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arterial hypertension and cancer."

Something Never Finished

The moonlight dances lightly across the vast endless ocean. The ripples in the water are the only difference it holds from the sky. Does the sky ever wish it was the ocean? Or the ocean the sky? One can never be the other, much like you can never be me. But as far as a wishing goes, it can only...

Beauty Theory

The only kind of beauty that is appreciated today is the kind that is permanently frozen forever. Because as a material based society we only seek meaning to that which is holdable. To see pulchritude as an object, is to see dreams as a substance. I look around everyday, I see all the ugly, horrid, repulsive behaviors that mankind deliberates. There is so little emphasis on the beauty of what people do. Is that why beauty is so hard to come by? Are we all just stuck in our black holes of ugliness, that even trying to reach for the light of beauty is a far fetched dream?Think about where beauty lies; love, expression, trust, compassion. No one wants love; they would rather hook up. Expression is often bashed; it does not fit the norm. Trust; so often broken. We are all scared to trust at all. Compassion; over thrown by greed of the dollar bill. My vision of beauty is something effortless, careless, balanced. Yet, all the things that can represent beauty is a struggle to attain effortlessly, carelessly, with ease. I suppose my thoughts are slightly contaminated by the ugliness of my own life. The holes of emptiness are so easily filled by that of negativity. Seeping in unwelcome, but not asked to leave. Because feeling something is better than not feeling anything at all.

Ponder This!

How do we ever know what is right? What is wrong? If every situation has context, then how can we make right and wrong so general? Especially in relationships. Fights specifically. One person is reacting to something the other person did. Than it escalades and grows into a fire based off of heightened emotion. An interesting idea is to think about where something begins. The very very beginning. You can take anything, like fights for an example, do they really begin when someone does something to piss you off, or was it something built up? Even you didn't really start at your parents intercourse (Ew, I cannot believe I just said that.) because if they never met at that coffee shop that one day, they never would of had sex, and you would never be here. But think even before that, if they didn't get stuck in traffic, they wouldn't have been late getting to bed, and they wouldn't have been sleep deprived and needed coffee the next day. Uh yeah, it can go on and on but I'm running out of ideas for fake scenarios. But just ponder that. If nothing really has a beginning, than nothing can really end, right? Here's a real mind bender, if we can never hang on to anything permanently, then what do we really have? I guess this feeds into the idea of materialism and why it works so well for our society. It gives us something to hold onto.
