Some year when I am older I may think, ‘I wonder what life seemed like when I was eighteen, and what I thought about.’ It is an interesting thought to think about since I can answer it immediately. I can confirm right now what life looks like and what I spend time thinking about. Similarly, someone in the distant past must have thought, ‘I wonder what the future will be like.’ This is what the future is like.
When I am in a public place I often think, ‘This is what I would have been ignorant of had I not been here.’ This puts things in percpective because it makes you realize that you have been added to the picture. You influence the day of everyone who sees you.
Sometimes a person will say, ‘That’s just the way life is!’ Where is this ‘Life’ you speak of, so I may go ask him if that’s how he is? ‘Tis a very weak justification for anything.
Look around you at everything. Someday it will all be gone.
I voted for Ron Paul today. Anyone else vote today? And for the first time, like me?

You know the song “Gone” by Switchfoot, right? Yeah, that’s playing in my head as I’m reading your post.
I did vote yesterday. Things didn’t turn out how I thought they should (eh, do they ever?). This whole election frustrates me to no end… I’m not that pleased with any of the candidates.
right on bro.
life is the manner in which it is currently posed. that is what life is.
so the good news is we can make life whatever we want.
i actually think ron paul has the most ability to bring systemic change, and i know i should never say the following: but because he can’t win, i just don’t know what to do. and i know saying ‘so and so can’t win’ is a part of the problem in america. but we still have to face the immediate. who knows.
We had our Primaries, here in NY, a while ago……I did not vot efor Ron Paul.
However, here we are ONLY allowed to vote for someone within the party that we are affiliated with.
yeee for voting for the first time!
let the good times roll.
I have voted every year except this year.
Spring break fell on election day and I missed the opportunity to get my absentee.
This is Benji by the way.
OH YEAH BROTHA PEACE
