People Are Crazy

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 22, 2009, 1:08 PM


A SMALL LITTLE FEATURE






I have believed for a long time that people are crazy. Read this and see if you agree.

The typical American will go to school for about 8 hours a day, five days a week, for twelve or thirteen years. After they get home from school, they have to go to this practice and that practice, then spend another hour or so on homework. If they survive, they will then go to college for about four years, to get a good degree so they can make lots of money. Many of these will also spend several more years at grad school, to prepare to make even more money. Most will get married around this time, then have kids, which will promptly be put in daycare because Mommy has to work as well, in order to pay for the 4,000 square-foot house they can't afford. Dad is never home to spend time with his family; he's too busy being "successful". Mommy doesn't have enough time to raise her children; she's too busy with her "liberating" career. Not that the kids would see their parents anyway; between school, after-school activities, and homework, they, like their parents, have absolutely no time to spend on things that actually matter. This vicious cycle is bound to continue through the generations, unless we wake up and realize that there is more to life than being rich, having fancy cars, or impressive college degrees.

There you have it. People are crazy.

I go by the name Shifao, which is "oafish" spelled backwards. Don't ask.
Let's see... I have bronze hair, green eyes, and pale skin that will not tan. I'm mostly German, I live in America, and plan to move to Ireland when I graduate (try figuring that out!).
I am a writer first, and an artist second.
I play piano, French horn, guitar, and keyboards. I would like to learn cello next.
I used to take dance and gymnastics, but now my physical activities consist mainly of swimming and hiking.
Three things that I will never understand: pessimists, algebra, and normal people.
Winter is my favorite season.
Blue is my favorite color, but I look best in green.
I love elves, dragons, unicorns, and things of that nature.
I have a thing for pointy ears.
I kill for Chinese food.
I'm an almost-vegetarian.
Laughter and garlic are the best medicines.
