I Am Me

Sunday, January 30

Ok, well, this sucks. I expected better, from you people, honestly.

Why doesn't anyone go the extra mile, like me? Doesn't anybody care (as much as I do) about anything anymore? Is apathy that rampant? Come on people, I didn't think I was this unique. I can't possibly be the only one here who actually gives a damn...can I?

I stand for many things, and I speak against many policies. Maybe that makes me a bitch. Maybe that makes me troublesome. Maybe that makes me a marked target for persecution. Maybe everyone will hate me if I continue to disagree with the status quo.

Maybe I don't give a damn what that makes me.

Whatever happens to me, at least I will have recognized the power of one voice, and used it. When is the last time any one of you has voiced your opinion, taken a stand, stood for something, done anything? I'm sick and tired of excuses and people telling me they just don't have the time.

The time is now. If not now, when? Tomorrow? The next day? Ten years from now? Whenever something happens that might directly affect your own welfare or the welfare of someone you love? Too bad, procrastinators. Because if you wait until the shit hits the fan, it's already too late. You can't protect anyone, even yourself, from the immediate rebound when the shit sprays back down from the fan. If you haven't already ducked for cover, warned anyone, or maybe (even better) done something to prevent the shit from hitting the fan in the first place, then the whole world gets shitted on. And the clean-up will suck too. Especially if the apathy continues and no one wants to clean up the shit-speckled room? Could you imagine the stench after 2 days? 2 weeks? A month? A year?

Just because someone else may have started the shit-bomb, doesn't mean you wait around forever for them to clean it up. Do something. Organize. Delegate. Lead people.

For everyone's sake, just wake up, and realize these problems & issues will not take care of themselves.

Many people probably are wondering at this point, why should I take on the responsibility of something that affects so many people, if they won't even care enough to do something themselves?

Hey. This brings me back to my original question. Doesn't anyone want to go the extra mile? Accomplish something extra in their lifetimes? Affect change in society somehow?

Don't you people care anymore?

I refuse to carry the weight of the whole world on my shoulders. I'm just asking for someone to help me carry the load.

Who's with me?

For serious?
