Meh he co.

WAAAAHHHOOOO!!! Today is D-Day. Departure to MExico!! I hear theres been risky business going on down there, but i'm not too worried. WE're going there for a good cause and it's going to be so nice to do something for someone else for once! Anywho, I will post pictures possibly and share my stories from down below.

The old man and the flask

Today I had a rather embarrassing experience involving an old man and a flask. I sometimes cater on the weekends and I was going about collecting everyone's napkins. The old bloke was just chatting with his mates around the table so I grabbed his napkin and a humongo flask fell out and onto the floor! Geez it was suppossed to be a fancy smancy dinner, but I guess once an alcoholic always a....er...alcoholic..?

Questions without answers

I feel like just spilling my guts. So I'm going to. Life is so confusing...what's the point sometimes? Do we grow in order to be stronger in the life to come or is all a sick little game that we play for absolutely no reason other than visceral pleasure and momentary fullfillment. When I am in a mind set that things matter I can really excell, but once I start thinking too much I stop trying. It's comforting to me to know that no one knows the answers, however, it is also scary as hell to realize that no matter how much I search for the essential answers to life...I will never find them because they do not exist. That is why so many turn to religion. It is an easy road when you "know" all the answers to the most important, most contemplated, questions of the world, but it is a lie. Those answers are not true and the questions are as close to being answered as they always have been. Lately, I've found it fascinating to learn and research about different cultures and what they believe. One thing I find most interesting is the fact that people who have been raised any place where their culture consumes them and their god is obvious and seen in all things as the answer to everything, have the most passion. They have passion because they do not doubt. Maybe it's not bad to lie to yourself. I guess it doesn't feel like a lie to them because those "truths" have made up the entirity of their lives. On the oposite end of the spectrum is Americans. Americans as a whole probably contain the least amount of passion. We are the fattest nation, watch the most television, and are lazy as all get out. In America freedom reins. We are not TOLD what is right and what to believe, but are given the choice to find out this information on our own. This choice is considered a blessing and a precious gift from our forefathers. If you really stop and think about it though, this gift is simply confusion for many years and maybe forever. If we could say that we knew; our object of being in this world, wouldn't it be a million times easier to do what we do and know why it is exactly that we do it? Would you rather die "knowing" what you perceive to be the truth, or would you rather die knowing that no one knows the truth and confusion is just another prominent emotion in the reality of humanity?

secrets

I am a college student and the other day I went to a club fair on campus. I stopped at one booth to hear what this girl had to say and she told me that they were having everyone write down their secrets on these square pieces of paper and they were posting them in the school. She had a few examples with her and I read one that said, “My roommates get upset with me for showering too much, but I need my time alone!” I laughed casually at that one and she admitted it was hers. I didn’t think that was truly a secret, but I guess secrets can be just about anything; whatever you find too embarrassing or humiliating to share with another.
It’s hard to define yourself. Everyday you carry on just as you had the last day. At what point can you stop and analyze your actions? Or should they be constantly analyzed and re-adjusted for the most effective results.
Not to mention the fact that self-evaluation is hardly ever correct and is more contingent on your personal success of a few days then your life and the way you live it on a broader scale. Everyone lies to themselves because it’s easier to be happy with yourself when your flaws aren’t all up close and personal.
If you were honest...What would your secret be?
It’s funny how you don’t realize you are considering something or that you had an opinion on a certain topic until you open your mouth to tell someone about it. We don’t comprehend how much we know until we teach someone who knows nothing on the subject.
