| | I appreciate the cold weather more than the warm, oddly enough. My hair comes in quite handy at this time of the year, so take that, all of you bastards that tell me that I need to cut it. I've got a few problems, nothing really relating to school or things happening directly around me, but more of things that are probably going to happen in the future. Scratch that, I have a headache now.
I just got done watching The Inconvenient Truth (with Al Gore); yes, he has a weird accent, and he was completely made fun of in an episode of South Park, but that doesn't make what he's saying any less valid than what it could be. And what he's saying, if you haven't heard of the movie, is about the problem of global warming. Big parts of Antarctica are actually drifting away, and many, many storms are happening (namely hurricanes and typhoons), and it's all because of our selfish desire of convenience. Carpooling is considered taboo, nobody wants to let leaves decompose or send them to someone that could use them as compost (they'd rather burn them--releasing a crap-ton of carbon dioxide in the air), et cetera. I'm not going to continue this, Al Gore's much better at explaining it. Something bad will happen though, in the not-too-distant future(I'm guessing maybe twenty or thirty years from now). Something really bad. Worse than 9/11, worse than Katrina, worse than the wildfires constantly going on in California, and we can stop it.
Another problem; my future. I don't really care about formal education enough to pursue anything, yet everyone says it'll be better for me. Yet...those people are the ones that got told that it would be good for them when they were growing up, probably when people that didn't go to college were exiled, in a sense. People have gotten to be very successful without a college education, although, success is a relative term. I'm thinking that I won't listen to those people. Besides, I'd rather be a free thinker, and base all of my decisions that I make in life from the knowledge I gain not being pampered, in a nice surburban home, leading the same life that everyone on my street does. Being stuck in suburbia isn't going to leave a lasting, positive mark on the world. I really, really, really want to do something good for mankind. But...hardly anybody's willing anymore. Also, bearsbears.ytmnd.com
I think I'm done here for a while, I've gotta get back to...umm....staying at home.
