"The teenagers of America kill hundreds of brain cells every weekend. The future, our children of today, no matter if they are dedicated college students, hard workers, or the average joe, engage in such recreational sports which include sex, drugs, and alcohol. One must wonder, if the previous generations involved themselves in such lewd behavior as much as this one. Was it just as luring a sport as it is now, these Smirnoff drinks and bowls of herb? And the music we hear on the radio, such artists as TOOL and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, with their unusual onstage antics and enticing lyrics, are probably not preventing this type of behavior also. These rock'n'roll bands, the sex appeal and ideas of independence and heartache, create the perpetual background noise that the young adults are never without. The invention of the ipod can allow them to be plugged into the music world twenty-four-seven, oblivious to the worldly going-ons.
Children of today, I ask you is it normal to care little about the future, but rather focus only on the present? The next school exam perhaps, or the next high, whether from life or chemical substances. Because this youth of ours is so fleeting, we figure that an open mind and an adventurous heart will allow us the time of our young lives, before submitting to the housewives, to the lawyers, to the offices and to the bills."
Oh em gee, TOOL is touring West Coast. Portland show December 5th!!! After seeing this concert, I can safely say I would be willing to die and still say I lead a fulfilling life. Except I'd rather not die and instead continue to witness many other concerts, but you know what I mean. I had an amazing weekend. The Pink Floyd lazer show was rad, the geometric moving images made me feel as if I was actually flying through tunnels and rolling around like a ball, instead of looking at a giant white domed ceiling while seated. This week should go by fast: no school monday [doctor's appointment], no school friday [teacher work day], no english wednesday and michael ian black show, work thursday...
I now have to stop procrastinating and start on my homework. adieu
