time, water, life, trout
...
Eventually, over time, the meandering curves that flow through your mind will end up like an old stream running through a prairie. All of those curves will be long lost with age. No longer will there be large unexpected pools of excitement where once the brooke trout darted. The ripples and rapids that used to bring splashes and calming background noise will cease. The river will shallow and widen but the life is still there.
The water will continue to flow although not as pristine as it once was.
The birds will still hover although not quite as many.
People will still be excited to test the waters although less often.
Time will go on.
Night will inevitably turn into the morning, the morning into day, and the day once again into night.
Time will go on.

music, life, up, college
...
If I had one piece of advice for the young people of the world it would be: Do not grow up.
Your age will inevitably increase and you will someday be able to see pg-13 movies without an adult. You will be able to get a license and drive to school. You will eventually be able to buy porn and visit a strip club. And ultimately you will someday be able to buy alcohol and gamble in vegas. Whatever you do, do not grow up.
Do not go to college.
Do not find a career you will feel stuck in.
Do not take out loans and credit cards.
Do not get into politics or even discuss them.
Do not settle unless you are truly happy with something.
Do not stop perfecting the things you are good at.
Do not ignore the music.
All in all, do not grow up no matter what. You can always be young.

nokia, smart phone, contract, money
...
So I read this morning, over here, that Best Buy Mobile took a survey of 1000 people and determined that most Americans want a "smart phone" but don't have a clue what to do with it. Well, that makes sense. I encourage you to go ahead and read the article, that is as long as you return here. Go, go right now, I'll be waiting.
Welcome back.
Ok so now that you read the article you will realize that this enhances my point with the whole iPhone post that I previously posted. People are clueless. I mean it obviously makes the most sense to spend the most possible amount of money to get something you will use almost solely use as a phone while signing your life away for a 2 year contract to "save yourself money" (in case you don't understand the quotes around that, it was quoted for emphasis to mock those that think they are saving themselves money by being locked into lengthy contracts in order to have a discounted price on a phone).
Don't get me wrong here. I think that "smart phones" are the wave of the, well, past present and future. But I think that this is much like the person who buys a super fast computer but only uses it to check their email and surf for porn. What was the point? If you are going to have a super fast computer why not run folding@home while playing Crysis on one screen, while listening to The Clicquot Club Eskimos in iTunes, while watching Home Alone 3 on a second display all while surfing for porn on your third screen. That would make more sense.
What I'm trying to say here kids, is that you are biting off more than you can chew and wasting your money on stuff you don't even understand. Why? Do yourself a favor and go by yourself a RAZR or RIZR or PEBL or whatever they call them these days. Actually save yourself the trouble and go by a Nokia, I dig them so they have to be good.
Sidenote: Run on sentences are great by the way, especially when mocking people.
