You might ask yourself, how does one get broke when you just got a job a couple weeks ago that pays pretty good money.  I would of course reply that I did get a job that pays me pretty well, but i have yet to get a check from said job.  Not that getting a check would have done outstandingly for, i have no bank up here in which i could deposit said check.  oh.. you ask why have i not gotten my bank account open?  because you need identification from within the state&#8230; which costs money&#8230; which i have yet had the ability to get&#8230; because &#8230; you see the picture&#8230; things are looking better though.  <\/p>\n<p>This weekend was going to be low key no matter what.  Today just turned out to be a lot more low key then i wanted.  AKA i&#8217;ve been seriously bored.  Friday night i went into Manhattan and watched Batman Begins, a movie about which i will discuss at a later date.  Last night my co-worker and friend David came over.  We rented some games and played them.  We watched a movie called Hitch, about which i&#8217;ll never speak a word- although will smith is my favorite funny comedian for some odd reason, maybe because his jokes are usually withdrawn.  Anyways i went to sleep around 1:00 from which i woke up this morning at 8:30.  David slept over because he didn&#8217;t want to have to hassel with the trains at night.  He left around 10:00.  And then the silence began.  <\/p>\n<p>I laid down and thought a lot about different things,  in which none of my problems were solved but one.  I realized i have far less problems then ever and i think it bores me.  Literally&#8230;  i have stable source of food, stable income, a very beautiful and talented woman i am deeply in love with, a place to stay in, and family that loves and cares for me.  This is the most i&#8217;ve ever had in a long time.  the stable income, food, and love intrest are relatively new.  The other necessities have been with me all my life usually.  <\/p>\n<p>Let us harken back to my high school days.  There was once in the middle of the cafeteria i was talking to my friends Reed and Colby about life.  I was so sure of myself then.  In the middle of a heated debate i yelled across the cafeteria grounds that the failure in life is complacency, it deteriorates the mind.  To my dismay, i attracted way to much attention.  I blushed and retracted myself out of the cafeteria and scurried down the hall to my locker where i opened it up cursing myself.  You see i&#8217;m leaving out the part where people laughed.  A lot of people.  Embarrasement brought about by confusion.  I still agree with what i said, but i&#8217;m not sure why i got so caught up in the argument.  We were arguing about our futures, and it was at that time that i was arguing that we should abandon all attempts at progress and travel across the country and live out of booksacks&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>i had just read on the road btw.  not the best source material on life for a 17 year old who hates his high school.  He made it seem so easy and adventurous.  All the same.  I have strayed from my point, as usual.  My point is that i feel like i should be on the look out for becoming complacent.  I don&#8217;t want to succomb to the robotic instincts capitalist society forces upon us.  I am so using prejudicial language in this, i understand that robotic insticts are adopted because it is better to adopt them then to live consciously moment by moment. <\/p>\n<p>No one lives consciously moment by moment.  Its impossible.  an experiment that was started when i was a second year college student continues till now, it is the experiment of consciousness.  I attempt to trip up the robotic instincts around me and in the meanwhile trip up my own robotic instincts.  My goal is to become as self-aware as possible, or at least to fully be aware of life around me as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>i guess this is why i like american beauty so much.<\/p>\n<p>i&#8217;m done rambling&#8230;  btw i think snaar&#8217;s blog should be called breaking the third wall&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>boy am i bored&#8230; i have extinguished all my resources.
