So my computer is still not doing too well. It is currently in critical condition, so I will just have to wait and see how everything goes. So again, no pic, but I thought I would share some more of my wonderful thoughts, which I know you are all dying to learn about.
Lately I've been thinking about that Book BRAVE NEW WORLD, which I'm sure everyone here has read. I know this book is supposed to be a a view of a dystopian future, or what not (I am terrible with metaphor, symbolism and stuff. To me if someone writes something, that is literally what the author is saying. If he says, "The sun is red," it literally means it's a red sun and not that the author is a vampire transvestite. Anyhow, I digress). While reading this book or should I say, while remember what this book was about, I remember thinking that the future sounded pretty cool.
DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO.
So what if you have no choice in what class you'll be in or what career you get to pursue. The guess work is taken out of the equation and someone literally tells you what it is you're best suited for. PLUS, if you're someone who feels like you have to rebel, they give you drugs (or do they mess with your brain?) to make you happy with your life. Doesn't that sound cool. You could be a professional poop scooper and it wouldn't matter to you because you'll be happy.
YOU GOT THE STUFF?
Did I mention the drugs?
SEVEN TO ELEVEN BUT REALLY WE'RE ALWAYS OPEN.
Bottom line, the world Huxley paints sounds pretty sweet and when it comes to figuring out your destiny in life, someone else just chooses it for you, so it's pretty damn convenient. No more spending decades or even a lifetime thinking "what does it all mean" or "what is my destiny" because...guess what? Some dude with an oily comb over and tight fitting black suit will take the mystery right out for you and tell you you're gonna be spending the rest of your life learning how to be a bag pipe maker and GOSH DARN IT YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT.
On an unrelated note...I have noticed that I am beginning to grow chest hair. Am I still going to threw puberty? That would answer quite a lot.
