Money

My life lately is all about money. Its for a good cause, I promise...you see, Many people my age work because they have too. They have bills to pay and cars to buy and all kinds of things to pay for. I for one think 20 is too young to have those kinds of things tying me down. And fortunately I have a set of parents that are so generous that I dont have to worry about such things. Anyways, my recent quest for the almighty dollar is not to be rich, it is not to buy a car, or to buy any thing for that matter. I want to travel the world. I want to live my life and find out who I am and where I am going. Hopefully my quest next semester will not be wasted. Thats all for now.

Payday

Payday came on Wednesdayj. Usually how that works is I go in for work and ask for my check and I get a paycheck. This Wednesday, however, I ask for my paycheck and I got a stub and a card. Apparently since I opted out of having direct deposit, I get this card that has my money on it. This would be fine except that I already have a checking account and I have bills to pay. It's just a bit of a hassle that I dont want to have to deal with when I get my paycheck. Get the money, go online, transfer the money to my BofA account and then 72 hours later I get my money. Well I think thats stupid. Who's with me.

Faith

I have always struggled with religion. It is inconcievable to me that anybody actually posesses the truth about our universe. If that were true, what would we live for? Everybody would just do what they need to to move on and live a bountiful life in the kingdom of heaven...well I dont think its that simple.

I am, however, a spiritual person. Only my beliefs do not come from a book, or from a church. They stem from something far more sacred to me. The natural universe is so full of its own questions and answers. Its mysteries and patterns I believe hold the key to our existence. And although we may never fully understand the entire depth of what nature offers or the forces behind it, a life devoted to its questions would not be a wasted one. I am not saying that I am going to cross my legs and meditate for the rest of my life in the forrest. I just think that instead of living my life for something so shakey...I will live it for the things I love. Perhaps that is the whole idea.

Words

Every once in a while I have this uncontrollable encouragement to write. There are certain things I want to change about the person I am. Recently I have adapted this nasty habit of using very derogatory words to insult people and it disgusts me. Certain words are not to be taken lightly. Not only can they be hurtful but when a person uses these words, they are actually degrading themselves. Degrading myself. and I am through with it. I am going to make a list of ugly words and work to replace them with better, more creative things.
