Crossroads

May 04, 2008

Ive had a little to drink and I'm feeling philosophical.

Im interested to see what happens to this world in my lifetime, in my world politics class we have been talking about how ridiculously fast our population is growing and how fast or resources are being depleted. I feel like although I am glad I'm growing up in this generation because of technology and such, I wish I had been at least one generation sooner. My parents seem like they had such good childhoods and through their adulthood they wont have to see the things we will have to see. Poverty and violence is going to completely take over undeveloped countries while developed countries become more and more corrupt and power hungry. Eventually were going to run out of fresh water, oil, and other resources, and people will be living on top of each other. I just wonder what the people and leaders of this world will do when finally faced with reality that we can no longer ignore and put off.

Another thing, Ive been watching this show on all these crazy correctional facilities, and Ive just realized how scary the world actually is. I have a nice life and I feel safe in most every situation I find myself in... but there are crazy ass people in the world, and I could get unlucky enough to find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time and Id be dead in a second. Seriously, people are just sick. Wikipedia you some serial killers and theres stuff that is just unbelievable. I dont understand how the mind works and how its possible to think the way some people do. I just dont get it.

Is it normal to wonder whats going to happen in your life? Im going to school for art, but who knows what Im going to actually end up doing. I want to know what Im going to become, what crazy things are going to happen, & whats going to happen to the planet and everyone I know. I guess that would take the fun out of living though, I guess thats why no one can tell the future.

Drunken ranting? Maybe. Ill find out in the morning.
