Under aged and under raged

I managed to obtain some extra time off this past weekend which I thoroughly enjoyed. I went to Bloomington to visit my girlfriend. Her roommate was throwing a party for one of his friends. It was her 19th birthday. Around midnight the party was in full swing and I just looked around the apartment at all the people. Most of the people in attendance were underaged, and drunk beyond reason. Most of the conversations I heard were about the previous weekend's parties and the parties going on the next weekend. It seems as though all these people cared about was getting drunk and not caring about anything at all. As I looked around and became aware that I stuck out like a turd in a punch bowl I thought to myself, "These people are walking zilches. They don't give a shit about anything but parties, gossip, and facebook." I don't care that they were mostly underaged and drinking, but the true crime is the general since of indifference. I hate the fact that people are not aware of anything outside of their personal lives. Not only are they ignorant but they are content. The mediocrity of people eats at my conscience. I encourage everyone to get involved with something productive and stop being a brainless bastard. Get involved and get pissed!

  1. Sam,
    I loved these posts! You are so right. We are living among intellectual zombies and mindless party animals! You are our hope. Keep writing, keep painting, keep on keeping on (that last phrase dates me back to my ancient hippie revolution days.) YOu have been a great resources and a source of inspiration in this course. Best of luck to you, and if I can do any thing for you, just let me know.
