The Waiting Game

[Zurtok Khan]

Wasting my time in the waiting line
-Zero 7

You can sit there and wait for your internet to queue up to a chat room so you can talk to people 5,000 miles away you might make you feel better about being lonely, sitting in your parents basement (or even your own home).  You can leach on to reality TV to make your useless existance feel less...useless.  You can waste hours at a time staring out the door waiting for the mailman to come deliver your bills and catelogs for you to buy things from to relieve the you of the endless tedium that you're stuck in.

You can hope, and pray, and wonder when you'll find something to fill up the empty cup.  But, Jesus is just a long standing fashion, and the cup doth not runneth over, brother.  You can sit and meditate on the universe and how you may or may not be real, how the world may or may not be real, but just like the sand you're watching fall through the hourglass, these are the days of our lives.  Yet, we fill them with nothing but hoping, scratching, yearning, bleeding, beating, hurting, and running from the very thing we are.  Right here.

You can't avoid the fact.  No matter how much you'd like to, you lose, when you wake up in the morning, for a breif moment before you realize you're in bed, and you have to get up and go to school/work/whatever, there is a small glimmer of your true self shinning through to show your concious mind what it could become.  But, we have become so practiced at extinguishing the spark that we have yet to learn anything from it.

I am but the same old parrot repeating the same lesson over in over to myself.  Hoping, ever hoping, that I will learn the lesson by teaching.  But, I know the pit fall here, you can't teach the lesson til you've learned it yourself.  

The louder you yell fire, the less time you have to wait in line.

Good rant... is the spark the spark that knows I should sleep in and forget about class and is extinguished when I get up anyway, or the one that considers getting up early and actually being prepared for class, which is extinguished when I realize that if I got up any earlier my nightly sleep total would be negative?

Either, or.

Good show!

You must be learning some good preaching over there in Eris' Cleavage.

When one stares long enough into the cleavage, the cleavage stares back into you.
