Rant

I really honestly hate it when people tell me what to do. Especially if they have no idea what they're doing and they're just telling you what to do because they think they're better at whatever you're doing than you are. I tend to get in arguments with people who tell me what to do, and then we end up hating each other for a very long time. I once had a ski instructor who told me what to do. See this really wouldn't have been a problem if he was older than me, or knew what he was doing himself, but he was my age, and really didn't know how to ski in powder at all. We fought a little... and we still don't really get along. I told one of my teachers this at camp, and he addressed me as "issues with authority"... If you've met me, I would be the last person you would ever address as "issues with authority"... Rant over.

Sorry.

its your turn to read all this from my perspective, between the ywo of us, I've never really understood what you meant by "enjoying the view". At this point in life, it seems a little relative from where you're standing, don't you think? for me, I could be enjoying you watching the view of me, or, perhaps, more astoundingly, you could be enjoying the view of me watching you watching me. In essence, we could be enjoying each other, or selfishly, ourselves. But what do you mean? are you waiting for some sight, some incredible happening that will awaken your heart and force it to leak from your every pore? are you looking for some event that will spread your mind wide and far covering every crevice of doubt you'd ever thought you might dwell in or upon? You'll never find that. You know that.
But I'm trying to understand the little things now, no, not understand, realize, appreciate.

Numbers here, numbers there.
1
24
6,489
3
But what comes after them?
1 of me
24 cents that the gas prices have risen since last year
6,489 dead people and more in Iraq this year...
3 days until another club meeting.
What happened?
On that blinking screen I can hear
"At least five U.S. soldiers on foot patrol were killed and three others wounded in a suicide bombing Monday in Baghdad, U.S. military officials in Iraq said..."
Two and five.
Two cookies? Five raindrops on my window sill?
If only I could see them.
Seeing those people,
suffering, dying, hiding
Then those numbers wouldn't matter.
My mouth would collapse to the ground
Hundreds of corpses lie in the streets
A number.
1+1=2 4x5=20 7-3=4...
etcetera
It's just a number, some people could care less.
On the other hand, imagine the numbers...in reality
Can we grasp its infinity?
