  • I am so confused.
    About everything.
    I do not know what it means to be human.
    Given the chance, a human will resort to their basic instincts, their primal urges, their basest desires.
    They will forget all the lessons they have learned, forget all the experiences that have taught them to be a better person, they will just loose themselves in the moment. Loose themselves in the chance to scream and curse and berate and insult if that chance is ever offered. They bring up the most crude words and phrases and gestures that they know, ones that they know will cut to the quick, ones that can not be taken any other way. Slut, Cunt, Whore, Motherfucker, Bitch. They will scream at the top of their lungs and throw their hands over their heads, chanting these words as a defense and as a offense against the other party.

    What is the point of being human? Are we supposed to be learning how to control our emotions? Are we supposed to have impulse control? Is that what it means? Humans. They take something natural and change it over and over again until the end result barely resembles what it started as. They destroy the environment and rebuild it again and again. They think they are god. They have built buildings to the sky, dug far into the earth, launched themselves past the realms of the atmosphere and dove to the very depths of the seas. What is the answer for our curiosity? What is it we are trying to achieve? What are we looking for? Will there ever be an answer for what it is to be human? For what it is we search so hard for. We have looked in all the places that we have thought to look in. We have answers for all the unanswerable questions. Yet no matter how hard we search for truth, for the answer, we will never be able to overcome our basic instincts. The ones that start disagreements, which start arguments, which start battles, which start wars. Wars will always separate people, separate minds, separate thoughts.

    There are too many aspects to what it means to be human and live in a society with other people.
    Homesteading looks really attractive right about now.

    God, I do hate summers.
    School gets out, people leave, and I am always stuck in the same place.
    I have no stable job. My friends all moved back to their parent's homes.
    I am pathetic.
    I always start the summer with so many plans. Then one by one, they fall through.
    Some of them are lofty = Go to Korea for a summer job
    Some are unrealistic = Drive to Alaska with a guy I barely know
    Some are possible = Move in with a friend in Tucson
    Some are desperate = Go back to the farm

    I just need to get out of here. I can not take another summer of my parent's going crazy with money problems while I have a very insignificant income.
    Oh if only I could afford to do SOMETHING.

    today, while zoning out in Philosophy class i made myself a three year plan.
    i have 1 1/2 semesters until i get my associates degree.
    when i get that, i will be able to finally get a full time job.
    i will work and save until i have enough money to buy myself a functioning car with character, and some new clothes, and a video camera, then i will leave in my new car, with my new clothes in the trunk, and i will drive around America. there are some places i really want to go, general things i want to see, people i want to meet.
    maybe i will drive into some town and not leave.
    all i know is that for the past two years, ever since i got back, ive wanted out again.
    and now that i have a goal for myself, maybe it will really happen.
    i traveled the world, because i had a plan.
    i now have another plan. and i hope it will still be in effect by the time i finish school.
    at some point i will go back to college and get my bachelors, but it is not that important to me.
    i have never wanted to work in the types of places that a bachelors was mandatory.
    i guess we shall see what happens.

    I am getting closer to moving out.
    I would love to live alone, in a rundown apartment above some ethnic restaurant, but this is the Phoenix metropolitan area we are talking about. Everything is one story.
    I would also love to move out of this god forsaken valley, but I should finish the associate degree that Ive started on.
    Haven't chosen a major yet, but I figured I could just get a general education degree then get the hell out of here.
    So, how am I getting closer to moving out?
    My friend's lease is up soon and she is moving and needs a roommate. I am hoping to be that roommate.
    I just need to get a job in order to shell out $400 a month.
    If I get a job, my brother will be asking for his $1000 he loaned me for a plane ticket to America.
    If I get a job that would allow me to pay for rent and slowly pay off Gabe, then I would need to scale back my credit hours...which would kick me out of the honors club, and prolong my time here in the valley.
    So, I am getting closer to moving out, but it is most likely I wont be.
