OLD POST from MySpace which has become a full page billboard destroying it purpose!
well, i find it hard to believe that someone noticed my blog. i really was trying to relieve a bit of stress. but now, looking back, reflecting who has time to think about someone else today. sure we have a lot of noble ambitions; we say that we want something, or we want to do something, but who has time to fulfill their wants and be there/ be considerate of others. i think about what i want in life, what are my goals, dreams, hopes, secret desires, and then i compare them with what i have and what i have accomplished. i don't even know what 'relaxed' means anymore, i run around trying 'to accomplish something' so that i run around and accomplish something else.
i am so sick of people complaining about their life. do people really believe that they are so afflicted? why do they complain about their job? do they really believe that their contribution to a company is worth what they are being paid? in general no! are the hours really that terrible? are the co-workers so annoying? (are you annoying to your co-workers...did you ever wonder?) is the work really that difficult? students complain about tough classes...hello...that is why i am in school, i came here to learn. challenging classes stretch the mind. you aren't in high school anymore, the problems you should face in life don't have a solutions manual! "the professors are boring or up tight or (much worse than what anyone could think)" well, have you ever wondered what they do outside of class? do they do research? have a family? people complain about their car, "the paint is coming off" or "the thing rattles" or "the door squeeks" or "my leather seats are cracking" ...go without a car a few days, see how long you last? why complain? because you are selfish, and you have never looked at the world from someone else's point of view. you have never been able to walk in someone else's shoes. "your heart goes out" to those who overcome trials, but what would you do if you went blind, lost a loved one or were diagnosed with cancer? who would you become? would you overcome your trials or would they overcome you?
i would like to think i would overcome, but i would hope with all my heart that i never had to. as for my life right now, i think i would die if i ever left status quo. working from 12 to 8 in the morning screws with your internal clock (albeit, i don't work everyday, but i am sure some people do), after that it is a quick stroll to the engineering classes i am taking, only to realize that i have no earthly idea what is going on, so i say to myself, "isaac, you need to study!" with every intention i had to a quiet place to be alone and study, but on the way someone calls, someone needs help, someone needs me to teach them something. what can i do but go. eating is almost a forgotten pasttime. yesterday, i remember eating some pancakes for breakfast, then it was night and i needed to get in bed so that i could wake up at 1115 to go to work (valuing sleep over food) sleep, wow, people complain when they get 7 hours of sleep or they have to pull an all-nighter two nights a semester, only to be able to sleep peaceful after consuming an ungodly amount of alcohol.
