You know what really bugs me? People. Allow me to explain;
Kid's loved one dies, stays home from school for a week and people say; ok! No more missing school. Your done crying! dont worry, your friends will cheer you up and you'll forget it even happened because you'll be working! i HATE this kind of thing, people are just obsessed with schooling, our lives revolve around school! Why? Because if you go to school, (including college) you will get a job that gives you lots and lots of money, and then you will be rich and you will be happy for the rest of your life! Whats more, we are like dogs in a game of fetch. I say this because the person throwing the toy is the big companies, they are always throwing out something new, and the dogs, us, go and get it. Then we come back and the companies have a brand new toy for us to go get, even though we just got the other one, but this one has a squeaker in it! So we HAVE to go get it. Do you understand? If not, i'll explain. I'll use the cellphone industry; a guy buys a brand new cellphone! about a month later, the cell company comes out with this new phone, and you just gotta get this new phone because OMG you can listen to music on it!! So you throw away your month old phone to get this new one. We just HAVE to get more and more schooling because with all this schooling we get big houses and fancy cars and lots of land and all the latest stuff, but the only reson we need this is because we have JUST GOT TO BE BETTER than our neighbor, or better then our friends, but, in the end, you arent really happy with this stuff, even though you where SOOO sure that your life would be better! But its not, theres just more to worry about. Right?! Whats wrong with a simple life in an apartment, a job at costco or as a clerk at a hospital with last year's cellphone? hmmm???? Remember that quote by some guy; "simplicity is the key"?

simplicity is the key to keeping your life "uncluttered" and stress free. In order to obtain self satisfaction , a sense of worth, completness, self worth..whatever you want to call it, you need to get the training in a carreer that makes you happy..you do need school, training ....whatever it takes ie: colledge,apprenticeship,etc. ...the real problems rear thier ugly head when we try to outlive our means..(go into debt and end up in what Tyler might call the "machine"..Be Happy,be self fulfilled,don't comprimise your ethics or yourself...it cheapens you...take care (ps : kind of like the music ...unforgiven is playing now)
i still dont like how people are obsessed with jobs that pay well and getting all that money. i wouldnt call it self fullfilment or whatever i'd call it selfishnessor greedy. But yea, if you want to listen to more of that band that was playing their called apocalyptica, and if you go to my other blog, rewind. play. pause. there is a whole bunch of their songs on there
