the future is not what it used to be

oh, to be

consequential.

how to tell

It's so easy to tell my sister and me apart. To get the weather forecast, she checks wunderground.com, whereas I use Google and weather.com. Simple!

Neglect

It's too easy a thing to do, and has touched all these areas of my life. But for now, I choose not to neglect this blog. So, let's share.

I certainly am neglecting my schoolwork, have been doing so for a long while now, and with this comes the inferred neglect of future. Looking back on this period, I bet history will make mention of a disquiet amongst the young folks regarding their futures, a gypsy restlessness from uncertainty and letdown. I won't say I can't identify with this characterization, but I have moved on. Now, it's a movement toward peace. I know there is a slice for me in that giant cake named Future, and yes it is delicious. Because God provides, so why worry? Anyway, graduation for me is an incoming ship just crowning the horizon.

I see abundance, I can reach out and stroke it. Not just in the Future, but in the Now. There's always things to do, people to see, overwhelming, environment teeming with vitality. But as they say, "it's not you, it's me." And it's been me since middle school. I think what I seek is a Walden of sorts; I haven't been alone in forever. It would be awful nice to just sit down with a book and actually get past the first 3 chapters. It would be awful nice to finally work on myself, make myself a teensy bit likable. This is a difficult task, let me tell you, as people are not likable in general. Lovable, well that's a whole other ballgame.

Future

I thought you’d like to know the scoop
I’m taking babies back with me, yeah
I’m taking them back home,
so they can see there’s a much better place
I’ve got a sister with an open mind
and my friends are all junkies
But they’re still my friends

..we won't build a time machine but we'll get by

Happy

There are many things to be happy about, such as my dad being alive, the new year, a possible snow day, President's Day shopping, but I am most happy currently because I just found out that Heinz redesigned their ketchup packets, to be rolled out in the fall. WOW, that was REALLY delayed, Heinz!

Another

Since I am on the topic of covers, thought I'd share one covering my all-time favorite U2 song. This doesn't begin to approach the original, but it's still awesome. :)
