i am making cautious steps to maintain my resolutions, i applied at macy's yesterday, and i have a really good feeling about it. i took out my monroe yesterday, this is really going to be the year i grow up, really. had a great day yesterday, cutting people out of my life that don't need to be there, and holding close to those that do. the holding close part is really hard for me with some people, people that i love and care about, but don't get to see often due to extenuating circumstances....
anyway, my friend leah wrote a blog on myspace with a quote in it that went like such: " You can’t stop the machine

"What is the feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? – it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-bye."

and that is my inspiration for today,
the machines. not the rest of the quote. although, that is another subject i'm far too familiar with as well........here we go

"remember when analog was cool?!"


computers that tell you where to go,
who needs a map, when you don't have to know?
repeated directions breeds a blissful ignorant,
technology bends over backward, brains remain dormant.

lives on autopilot, dimly lit screens
artificial intelligence, pathetic scenes
walking along, ping! ping! ping!
shut up, shut up, i hear my phone ring.

have you heard they're making clones?
grow them followers like beehive drones,
so much for education, you tragic democracy,
but we don't know any better anymore, it's idiocracy.




so there's that
a bit on the negative side
but technology, however useful it may be,
really does allow us to be ignorant, and reliant on a machine, rather than our own brains. i've heard people only use ten percent, but i don't want to be one of those people. i was raised to appreciate intelligence, and not to take such for granted.
like the song i sang in chorus in elementary school,
knowledge is power, grab it while you can!

on another note
i made this today
cause i woke up at 730
and awaiting people to awaken as well







i'd say now
FIN!
and bling on
