Onwards and upwards

Let's be honest, life is a strange bedfellow. Some people believe that the only way to live is by barbaric means. Being ruthless, cutthroat, and relentless. That is all there is and nothing more. I mean who hasn't dealt with morons in school as a kid. You get to the point where you think, I'm not taking shit form anyone anymore.

And I can see that being an interesting perspective. Hell, I think that's what they teach people in college, that you have to be like a rock in life and not be merciful.

I can be too, but I remember how sweet life can be too. Watching good disney movies or something as a kid, that was good. Loved TGIF on fridays back in the day, that was great. Um saturday morning cartoons was a blissful time for me growing up.

And here I stand, being taught that life is nothing but war and death. Sorry but I'm never going to stop believing in the power of hope and goodness. I know some people do and it works for them, but not me. Never me.

I mean look at life and how it's turned out for me. Maybe i never got a girlfriend. Maybe I never really got involved with any major bad things. Maybe I'm not super assertive and tough. But here I am about to get started in a decent job and have opportunity to go forth and become a customs officer which in time may lead to getting a degree and pilots license. And then maybe even some ass. Say what you want about me, but the things I've decide to do have lead up to this point. So I think along the way I did something right.
