peanut butter cap'n crunch may quite possibly be the best tasting food in the world
the spy museum was alright, not that great though. we were sitting at the base of this statue on some street corner in dc and noticed that the statue of the horse was very uh..... anatomically correct..... so i of course took a picture. i watched donnie darko and pi today. two amazing movies. pi makes me want to be smarter. during donnie darko i was thinking... if i knew that the world was going to end next week, would i do anything differently? so many different thoughts of what i'd rather be doing than sitting in my basement watching a movie raced through my head. it seems silly not to be doing any of them. every part of my life is just preparation for the next step. i go to school so i can get into a good college. go to college so i can get a good job. get a job so i can make money. make money so i can have a safe place to live, food to eat, a tv in every room of the house, designer clothes, colorful appliances, more useless crap. i'd rather leave it all. i'd rather live in the woods in the middle of nowhere, depend on myself for food and shelter. "live off the land" i guess you would say. throw away my calendars and watches. forget about what day and what time it is. stop counting down the minutes i have left to live and just live. forget electricity, forget plumbing, forget clothes, forget processed foods, forget books written by other people. there are people living in the rainforests along the amazon river right now that have never known any of these things. and do you think your life is any better than theirs? we will all die and we will all be forgotten. it doesnt matter if you have tons of friends, if you get married, or if everyone hates you. in the end, you're alone. how bittersweet your last breath must be.
