Confrontation, no matter how PC (politically correct) our society is, will always thrive on college campuses. It seems as though individuals are always ready to challenge the modern equivalent of normal.
The election, our economic situation, the billions of dollars generated by corporations, the seemingly relevant topic of fairness (or the lack thereof), and whatever else one could come up with. This plague upon humanity has created more emotions than reason.
Is it immoral to make large sums of money when so many people are losing everything? Is it the person's own fault for creating large mortgages that they could not pay back? Should the government bail out individuals?
In spite of all these questions and the equally weighty answers that many people have prepared for "just such an occasion." Are there not more important questions? More immediate? More answerable by the common person?
Why do we long to have such a huge connection to the outside world? Why do we long for such global knowing-ness? Is it a superiority complex? A sense of connected-ness? Why do we ask questions we cannot answer? Why do we not trust those in leadership who have impressive amounts of knowledge above and beyond that we, ourselves, possess? (for the most part... there are those who actually know what's going because they have alternative means of information beyond that which the press has pre-packaged, refined, and labeled for us.
What happened to being a good neighbor? Playing board games? Enjoying a book now and again... and possibly even again for those of us who are so lucky as to have a luxury like that. Fall is HERE!!! I cannot say it too many times. Walks in nature does the body so much more good than a majority of other quick fixes.
OK... ok... then there are those retail therapy sessions that do so much good. Both for you and the economy that your bank account has just stimulated. Oh goodness! But for a pair of Ralph Lauren Pink Suede 2 1/2 to 3 inch stilettos.... maybe.
Therapy like this can only be celebrated by the strictest of measures. Namely going out with friends and eating ridiculous amounts of calories which will be laughed off in the process. Why should it be a vicious cycle? Could it not be like a permanent adrenalin rush? A thrill ride for the ages?
Rant. Rave. Really funny to watch. (that would be the overall description of this writing style I'm experiencing... and yes the correct word would be expiriencing because I feel a little as though I am in the passenger seat. And for those of you that have never been in my passenger seat... oh dear. I pray that you will never have to. I personally have never been bothered by it BUT others tell me it a fearsomer thing to behold.
Now I must return to my midterm-the catalyst for this. I think you should all hold it personally resonsible.
And check out the LV video at the bottom of the page. The cat-walk one.
Mmmmmmmm!
Later friends!
