Random Day #1754

Well, I'm about to go another night without sleeping, something I usually do. I am a nocturnal creature of the night and I will eventually die of sleep deprivation. Well, anyway, I am going to create an illustrated online graphic novel kind of thing, in the form of a blog in the near future. To well, distract myself from the other unproductive activities of life I take part in. Like, well, energy drinks. I love energy drinks. And when I say that, I don't mean I like a can of Amp every so often. Amp is not nearly strong enough. Monster is not nearly strong enough. NOS... that's a bit closer. Cocaine Energy, no THAT is where it's at. But, I did decide to get my shit together and not drink energy drinks anymore. Because well, puking for hours leads to no good future. So, I went ahead and quit all the other self-destructive behaviors I have up my sleeve. This is only the one-millionth time I've done this and relapsed, of course. So, I am quite experienced with failing and coming right back.

But honestly, I am hoping to get things together this year. I don't want to have issues in college, so graduating successfully would be nice. Last year I had a constant GPA of 3.14. Not bad compared to my struggle to get a GPA of 2.0 the year before, and academic probation at school and in my scholarship program. 

But this year, I want to get somewhere. I mean, I have to start somewhere if I plan to become a billionaire. 

Anyway, so I've started reading this book: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I'm only on page 37 of 1,084, but it's quite good so far. Definitely my kind of book. 

But seriously, I plan to turn things around. I'm going to get a custom tattoo and go on a road trip after graduation, and I'm going to eventually make it through life alright. Eventually, but it will happen. 

But seriously, I'm not stupid. Life is no piece of cake. You either work in the system or out of it and there are consequences for both. Freedom is based on restrictions. You can drive? I see you have to follow speed limits and whatnot. But without limits, well, you'd probably be dead. However, I still think a lot of things are wrong with society. I mean, people aren't happy. Stress to the degree of heart disease is no advantage in evolution or the survival of the species or anything particularly useful. The compulsory public school system was put in place around 1852 and well, it's really not as successful as it should be. Some students are failing... a lot of them, and well, it's not always their fault. Some students work better in the morning, some in the afternoon, some work better in groups and some, totally alone. But that isn't how schools are operated. They work according to how old you are, because that's apparently the most important thing about you. 

But it makes sense, 7 to 4 school schedule to lead a 9 to 5 work life... because you all will obviously work out of a cubicle doing something you hate for the rest of your life. Life is more flexible than society, don't ya think? 

Figures. Well, goodnight, society. 

(We all secretly hate you)
