yea i did

here is the thing that i find atrocious. how we expect life
to fall into our hands. our generation has fallen into complacency

we don't understand that without action our ideas are like rusted metal
corrosive, detrimental, and lost in a big fog of could be's.

we write explicit lists of the things we want to be. we cajole people to bend and break. we are anal about the way we want things done.

but we never do it ourselves.

we are ambiguous with ambitions because our generation has so many options. we are like fleeting foxes running from the next big, epic podium of linear obstacles that we can jump, climb, hop over and on.

we are, they are, she is, he is, factious

our generation is in a perpetual state of joshing around, days go by years go by, no decisions made.

more concern is of the new 'man' make up. its no longer an extreme embarrassment to act like a complete fop.

an august woman is few and far between. now it is more fashionable to let your curves and tight clothing get you places.

this is.
what we.
have.
come to.

i look around everything seems slightly surreal. there is darkness masquerading as light, and indecision masquerading as 'keeping our options open'.

we have so much at our fingertips

so pick it up.
