Not in High School Anymore

No I'm not.
Maybe Mr. Lindsey required us to make this blog for a reason.
My reason?
 I need a place to rant.
Why do I need a place to rant?
No one wants to really talk about things. Problems are ether too big or too small for everyone to care about... since when did size decide what is important?

Today was full of important things I saw that upset me. Lets go through my day:

2. My generation. the people around me. There is a  lack of understanding. Do people not understand that every choice they make is a reflection. That racist, shallow minded, ignorant music they listen to? It says something. nothing is JUST something. Music is not just music. its a reflection of us. what we believe, promote and support. Im not saying lets all be good ol country boys, but if I hear about another "pussy" to a beat .... I might lose it.

3. Im alone on this. Maybe not completely alone but I personally dont know anyone who agrees with me. Why is it that no one sees what we subject and stamp to our generation. Sex drinking and drugs. Do we value things of this kind? I thought the older we got we would begin to value individuality, new ideas, the simplicity and beauty in things. I thought very wrong. I can not bring myself to level with the present popular mentality.  I am not sexy because I've had sex. Im sexy because I have a brain and I use it. Im not fun because I party till I blackout. I'm fun because I enjoy people and their company. And Im not creative due to some "crazy enlightening trip mayne."  Im creative due to my passionate belief in art and how it can teach. 

4.  I thought college was supposed to be this big wide world of other students who wanted to learn just like me. Instead I find more ignorant, status quo abiding citizens. And thats fine. not for me. But if it works for the guy next door, what can I do?
