Something to think about.

Question: If you could speak to your 15 year old self for only 15 seconds what would you say?

Tough question.

It is. I been thinking about it for a few days already. It's thought in progress.

I can think of a few things I could tell myself but that's simple things like watch what I eat, never buy a Limp Bizkit CD, save my money, don't go to Plainview on a random summer saturday night, avoid that smoking phase and so on.

These things above are cool and all but not sure they're significant in terms of life-altering or world-altering. Maybe I would tell myself, "To make sure I see PanterA before Dimebag gets his brains blown out by some psycho with no permission. " This or preventing the murder all together could change the world plays out it's life. I could become president!

I need to think about this more.

Epiphany.

No, not the Bad Religion song that solidified my love for the band.

Tonight, in class, I learned that I consume to waste. I buy an iPod and the purchase tells one that I am going to buy another iPod in the future. Since I got my first iPod, I have never regressed back to a CD player. Buying one iPod tells Apple that I am investing in the iPod. I will buy the latest ipod because the current one is now obsolete. It's startling to think about it. I have had an iPod Mini, A Classic iPod, then 160GB iPod and now the current 120GB. My kid brother just bought an iPod touch (32GB one I think). And returning to me, I now have the desire to buy an iPod touch.

I've sold my soul, wallet and my whole being to Apple.

Fuckin' epiphany.

Transformers.

The 80s movie was incredible.

Literature

All the good lit seems to be incredibly depressing in some way.

Every book I've taught my ninth grade has ended on some sour, sad, tragic, what you will note. I'm just teaching what the ninth grade curriculum is telling me. Damn.
