Buckets of Rain and no Umbrellas

          Our society seems to always force us to be who we are not; or perhaps just try to make better people out of ourselves. Magazines tell us to wear certain things, TV tells us who to avoid, who’s cool and who’s the average loser, what’s hot and what's just plain ugly. I don't think some of you have ever stopped and thought that nothing would change if we didn't follow these rules that have been so carefully laid out for us all to follow. I can’t seem to bring my self to stop on these matters as well. My grade 4 teacher would call me a sheep, I guess. Its what she called all of us. I guess in a way we are.

Take an example of a handful of students. About one tenth of all those students will say they are in love with reading. while half of the left over people will say they are ok with reading, and the other will only read when threatened to. It’s not that they’ve been told that reading is bad, but it’s been applied by numerous brain-washings of television shows. Now, don't get me wrong, I love TV. I wont be able to live with out it. but I guess that just proves my point.

The school I go to? I don't really belong; sure I have my friends, but that doesn't mean I can tell them everything like in my old school. A diplomacy. A formal chat. A formal Laugh. why is this so? Well I’m not like them, as I mentioned before, society wants us to be social, attractive, successful, interesting, warm-hearted, not gross, and understandable among so many other qualities, that would probably take at least an hour to list. My point is: no one gives a crap how you turn out. The more successful you are; the worse it is for the whole world. they add these qualities to try to “breed” a beautiful and successful race, leaving the others to wither and die.

The economy? what economy? the whole world is a lie. Politics is a bunch of guys in suits stealing money, not that they don't promote change or become role models to people, but in all, all they are, are puppets. Some one controls them, and they control us. In a couple of years, it has been predicted that  Canada will be asked to be united with a close neighbor, so we will be able to over come this “economy crisis”. No questions will be asked. We will all agree. And why not? At least the USA will now know that Canadians DON’T live in igloos.

But this way they make us live is not our mistake.

It’s not our fault. Just like it’s not our fault the Earth is dying. All these crazy ideas coming from magazines, groups, cliques, TV, shops etc. are raining on us. Like buckets of rain …And we have no umbrellas.

As you have noticed, I’ve taken a different approach on this entry. I think I enjoy the ranting in the begging, and then telling you about updates. I'm almost finished Chapter 4…(excitement!)

 

Hey! Yeah, you! Have you been desperately waiting to comment on my posts? Well now you can! You don't even have to register! It turns out that after fooling around in the control room; I found out how to make everyone eligible to comment.

Also, you may have noticed it’s snowing. Yes; that will stay for now, so put on a sweater find a cozy spot beside the crackling fire and warm up some hot chocolate :).
