In society today it is not a requirement for people to be intellectual, our society allows them simply waste there lives away and allow others to think for them. Bertrand Russell put it best when he wrote, “ It's a good thing the common man doesn't think for himself. Instead, he negotiates life on the basis of convention, the traditions of his class, what his parents and peers believe.” This leads one to believe that the common man lacks intelligence, when that is not so. It is not the intelligence he lacks, but the vigor to go out a search for the knowledge himself. He relies on the regurgitated facts handed to him from peers, parents, and teachers printed on clean white pieces of paper or accessed through an address beginning with the phrase “http://”. The new wave American culture has become a generation of lazy, broken people who only seek worldly pleasures. Basically the common man represent the populous of America as a whole, but hopefully within the upcoming generation there will be a wealth of people who thirst for knowledge and wisdom.

okay so its like day something i don't even know anymore, classes are overwhelming, however i completely love learning and it is one of the most enlightening times in my life with all these opportunities to learn. the one piece of information that i forgot to tell you guys is that i haven't been getting any sleep and this concerns me only because i am tired a lot and it is only the 2nd day of classes. right now my room is filled with a fas array of people from everywhere and it is really loud becasue for one thing people are singing and playing guitar in my room and and and my suit mes are bumping and grinding next door and my walls are viberating. i am starting to get semi-tired of thing, but i am probably just tired and i am not sure of anything anymore. and after my marathon today of studying and doing work i just want some i don't even know i guess i am just arnory. i guess i should go to bed..... good lord seriously hate is a strong word, but in referance to the next door neighbors i want to use that word

okay so basically this goes out to jen and sam becasue no one else reads this last night we took a wal mart run in my car and we got there at 10:10 and it closes at 10pm. let me vent for one second, i am from easton pa where the wal mart is open 24 hours and it is a rural area, but in center city philly it is ONLY OPEN UNTIL 10 do they realize how many customers they are missing out on by not staying open 24 hours. ARRRRGGHHHH. then i took my grandmothers credit card and desposited 700 dollars into my dimond dollars account to buy books. good times here at temple u and it is only the second day shout out to gabbs, joey,linda, justin, alex, chris.... awsesomenessationing (NEW WORD!)

so it is 6:30pm on Aug. 25 2004. i move in to at 10am on Aug. 26 2004 that leaves me only 15 and 1/2 hours left in easton. wow how the times flies. how the friends change. it is all very weird right now. i hung out with my ex-girl for the last time this morning we met for breakfast and we ate eggs. tonight i will see my dearest friend samantha. it is funny becasue last year i would have loved to get as far away from sam as humanly possible but this year i think i will shed some tears to leave her. see this summer i became very close to my dear friends sam and jen and last year i wasn't talking to sam and jen i just ignored her, heck i didn't even say good-bye. well times change and tomorrow they will keep on changing as i meet new friends that i am sure i will keep close to me for the rest of my life. well guys peace out and you stay classy

oh livejournal the things we've seen. i think i spend way too much time with my ex-girlfriend, no really like we hung out the entire week together almost. we even got an old time photo together at dorney. we are crazy. also so i swear that inside my body is a literal filter from Jesus, my Jesus Filter, and like when i do bad things in moderation i feel no effects from it. this i becasue God is protecting me from it, but me being the arrogant bastard i am, i think, "hey i can act like an ass and feel no effects from it" well thats not the case becasue last night i honestly thought i could have died, thanks to my friends, sam, jen, and zach, they took care of me and i did not died. however i learned my lesson, and at least it is before i even leave for college i had a horrific experience. oh Lord i am an idiot. well peace out peoples!

okay everyone i had another crazy night jen and sam always show me a good time i love those girls. we had a great night and sam taught us all about penial implants and the effects of smoking on your blatter (it's no joke kids watch out and stop smoking). anyway we topped it all off with a little best of will ferrell and that always makes for a good time. although before i left jen's house sharon stone was on david letterman and she was all over him and it kinda freaked me out. anyway life continues to get crazyer and now i am one week to the day away from moving in to temple university. MORE CRAZYNESS!!!!!

laying in bed thinking of a crazy last night.... explanation: sam, lisa, the dreamers, bilge, meghann, the nazzo diner closing at 11?, tic-toc charging 3.50 to sit, williams township at night, the durahm house, no cell phone service, the golf course, williams township police pulling me over, sam's gazibo, clove cigs, drunken stories until 1:30, watching kill bill with my mother at 2am, SLEEP! i guess you had to be there

i love reunion specials especially when they happen in real life at diners
