I cannot wait. We'll have Obama to lead us, I'll be gearing up to study Journalism full-on, I may get a tablet and try my hand at this "art" I've heard so much about, and life will keep on truckin'.

I really need to do something with my life. Make some real music, do some real writing, take some pictures, experience the world and what it has to offer. If I'm going to be sitting in front of a laptop all day, slacking, I want to accomplish something meaningful with that time.

20 years old, and my life has been without purpose. This overused internet personality is more than my real-life outreach, and that is bad. If I can't find a following on a mass medium of mass variety like he 'net, than actual people and events are beyond my control.

My legacy will be one of emotion. My shadow will cast seeds of knowledge everywhere I stride. And as the seeds grow, I will be known. But the important is not to be known; through this, I can truly know.

To see from all sides. To attack the traditional values that further no goals but their own selfish agenda. While the inner workings of life lie in darkness, I will poke holes in the veil.

Goals of recognition are rarely worth pursuing. But I will throw off the ignorance, redefine that which is deemed wrong to be right in the sunlight. So many factors are used to manipulate thoughts ad feelings, and my generation feels the burden completely. But life, through all it's twists and turns, is undoubtably simple.

We're told the point of life is to find love, or serve a God, or further an agenda of power and corruption. These are our only options. But the first goal of humanity is to survive. Second, to find emotions of joy and sadness to balance the other.

But if we cannot manage living simply and purely, we are like puzzle pieces with edges missing. No matter how we cram into the other pieces, be they life choices or other people or those limitless complications, we cannot be truly whole. An icicle, or a stalagmite doesn't bog itself down with growing in hundreds of directions. It grows as long as it can in one progressive and wide path, surrounded by beings of it's ilk, narrowing to a sharp and joyous ending.

So in essence, simplicity and acceptance first and foremost, than add the myriad of thoughts to an actually true good core of humanity; almost the thought of a soul. But the greatest challenge is the increasing nature of high society. As Technology and Consumption grows, keeping the simple truth above multi-layered lies is a compelling difficulty.

One way or another, we will blind ourselves completely to the basics of life, or completely muddle them in a swirling mirage of trivial anti-knowledge.

Wow, what a strange turn this journal just took. Very Exitinsial, or whatever. Randomly writing when overly tired at 3 in the morning is not smart. or maybe it's my most rational, when I'm closest to my subconcious. Who really knows?
