The Oddly Early Monday Morning

how can you not feel the least bit intellectually inadequate if for 5 times a week you're chained in a hellhole void of mental and emotional stimulant? as if being ridiculously stupid and blindly obedient is not enough, we have to, pardon me, lick the very balls of our superiors which shares a inverse proportion to the size of their egos. the only discovery after these 2 years will be that of self-discovery: the awareness of my sexual orientation. if only they had paid for a red army with the budget surplus.

watching californication(courtesy of ccyk) has gotten me thinking about how i should live myself in my more adult-self(that is if i survive the next 10 odd years). i've come to realise that i survive better with short-term aims rather than looking far and ahead. of course it only means that i live by the moments and often have these lapses of time when i'm purely aimless. while i do not have a well-crafted and formulated plan as to how i'm going to SURVIVE the remainder of my life, i've at least got a rough sketch of how i'm going to LIVE it.

without a doubt, at barely 20, i can hardly say i've embraced the flaws of humanity nor lived a life of woes. however it's all bollocks when people put themselves before others. wouldn't it be more logical if we all looked out for one another? but i guess the more vast the organisation, the lesser need for logic is in place (nsfs can clearly relate to this).

when we're in primary school, teachers ask WHAT we want to be when we grow up.
when we're in junior college, teachers should be asking WHO we want to be when we grow up.
that way when we're dead, you're only left with the WHY.

i don't wish to be tied down or held back when i'm older. of course to savour free will would be to embrace that of others, so i'll never be judgmental regardless of how much cynicism i'll be put through. i prefer the idea of being able to experience the wrath of many evils, that way you'll get temptation out of the way. after which you'll be more in position to make an informed decision. i'll never be a good parent in that sense i guess, given my open nature. but if i'm to be charged for showing how life can kill you in its many miraculous ways, then i plead guilty.

basically i want to grow up without growing up.
