So I've gotten some flack for my last post and I just have to clarify. I like to write. I like to rant and make shit up. I like fiction. Honestly, I don't give a rats ass that Bush won the election. And my vote didn't matter anyway (I voted for Nader--knowing that my states electoral votes would go to Kerry regardless).
But I enjoy watching riot videos. I enjoy protests--not to be in them but to see passion. So much of what I see is apathy. When shit happens and people get pissed, life is more interesting. Life has meaning only when we know we are dying. Everyone loves a good fight.
I mean, for crying out loud, read some more of my journal. I hope our political struggles get more chaotic. I hope we have adversity in our future. There's nothing I fear more than growing stagnant. Nobody seems to care unless they have an enemy. So, an enemy is necessary. Hell, I might have voted for Bush instead just to help speed up the process. What I'm saying is that I don't claim to be a good guy. I don't think I have all the right answers that are going to fix our world. What I do think is that our world needs to be pushed in order to survive; evolution didn't bring us where we are today from us sitting on our asses. I want the things I said to happen because, in history, those types of things have created passion. These things wake us up and give us meaning. Or at least they give me something to think about.
