Growing up during the era that I did, I heard adults tell me that "I" was special. They told me that "I" would make something of myself.
I believed them.
We all did, didn't we? But really, the adults in our lives really believed it too. They thought that thier kids were different. They thought that thier kids were perfect.
I think we need to be knocked down a couple of pegs, don't you? To be perfectly honest, I'm just another 16 year old, self righteous... child. I'm completely okay with this.
Uh, well maybe not, I really liked believing that I mattered. I know that I do matter to a lot of people, but it's so small scale compared to what we were promised. maybe it was a joke.
Yesterday I was riding the bus and I was listening to Animal Collective. It made me realize that Animal Collective never gets old or ceases to impress me. I'm so glad I got into them.
They make the bus ride even more enjoyable.
I look foreward to the bus ride the night before, I love that feeling of moving. I don't NEED to talk to anyone, I can just sit there, listen to music, and daydream
I can't squeeze anything out of my mind at the moment...
I guess I'm done.
I feel excellent by the way.
BRANDON :) first, i just want to say Animal Collective will never cease to amaze me, and is heart-wrenchingly brilliant. also, i agree with the needing to be knocked down a couple pegs.. i assume since weve all been told to dream for greatness and blah blah that i have a self-entitlement to matter or to be important. even though i probably never will be. and also your comment on my blog made me smile a lot. i just think you and your blog are totally awesome.. okay thats it!
