What I See When Removing Myself From Situations.

I have recently been feeling like I'm getting away by the skin on my teeth here at college. I understand all the material for my classes just fine, but time simply seems to elude me. I constantly am transitioning from one task to another with no time to sit down and take a break. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just incredibly frantic! And to top it off, I often forget plans with people because cell service doesn't seem to penetrate the brick wall housing of our dorms. Now I am making a list of first world problems in my life; what has this blog turned into? Speaking of blogs, I actually started another tumblr with music that is coursing through my ears at the moment. It's not necessarily the most original thought in the world, but it may help introduce music to people who would not had found it otherwise. So check it out! Anyways, I was walking down the street today and I saw someone who was wearing a pair of Crocs... I don't understand how society could possibly find those things attractive in any way. Heely's are pretty cool; I saw someone wearing those earlier as well. I don't understand while people play video games sometimes. When you think about it, video games accomplish next to nothing in the real world. The top one percent of the gaming population will compete in the Major League of Gaming series, but other than that, there isn't much money to be made in playing video games. This led me to start thinking about why people pay for MMORPG services. (For those of you who have no idea what a MMORPG is, think World of Warcraft). Players pay a large some of money ($15 for WoW) to simply run through dungeons, pick up gear, and make their character better. Then, after your beefcake character gets most beefcake gear the game has to offer, new dungeons are opened for you to raid! Now you may be wondering, "What wonders could those dungeons possibly contain that would constitute such beefcake gear?" The answer is something far better than your previous prize for plundering a digital dungeon... You get.... Better gear! Yes! It's the same as your old gear, but now you can be hit by FIVE arrows instead of three. That is literally the entire game of World of Warcraft in a nutshell. And millions of people PAY for this game! I paid for this game! It was fun in my spare time, but I don't understand why people pay to waste their time. There are so many better things people can fill their time with! Once you start meeting people, a whole new world of opportunities opens up. If you're still reading this post, I encourage you to walk up to someone new tomorrow and introduce yourself. It doesn't have to be that kid sitting alone in the corner of the dining hall, (that kid is usually weird), but I do encourage you to meet a new person. Most people want to introduce themselves and make new friends, but they're too shy. If everyone has the same mindset, no one will ever meet new people. Someone has to break the mold! I'm not trying to persuade you into becoming a transcendentalist, but conforming to the negative aspects of society isn't a good choice for anybody. Let's face it, American society is pretty stupid... We are being led by an office who doesn't understand how to keep debt under control. I don't blame the democratic party as much as I blame the stupid Americans who don't know how to refrain from buying an item if they don't physically have the money. It's such a simple concept! If you don't have the money, don't buy! Unfortunately, expecting people to use logic before making a selfish decision is just too much. I don't know what it will take for people to realize they can't keep living their lives in such a despicable manner,  but I sure hope that it happens soon. I'm not sure how much longer our country can hold on...
