I suppose that’s what I’m literally doing in this post, writing about nothing. The nothing on the paper, the nothing in our minds. Paper can unlock a vast world of imagination, yet we can never open ourselves to this paper… sounds odd doesn’t it? It’s only in writing about nothing do we find the something we wanted to write about, so as opposed to Rush’s philosophy, we do get something from nothing.

This universal something is an amazing specticle, for it is completely our own, it wasn’t shaped or formed by anyone else. In that sense, we have become the paper and the paper has become us. The paper is an archetype for ourselves, when we see the blank piece of paper brimming with possibilities, sometimes it’s too much for us to handle and we let go of our thoughts and just write some dribble that is needed for a class, but when we let go and just write, the paper and ourselves are given life.

So when you see the blank sheet of paper, don’t see a sheet of paper, see yourself as you want yourself to be. See an infinite nothing, and form it into something, the something of yourself.

Thanks for listening.

As for my life these past months, it has been eventful. I got a job, my mother got arrested twice and went to rehab, I had to repeat a year of school… the list goes on. As for now, I’ll just talk about moving schools.

Did you ever read a book where someone starts out some place, leaves to a far off land that’s much worse than the place he was before and retains the hope that the starting place will be much better and a nice place to return to, and then returns to the starting place only to find the place has been overrun with the same amount of idiots as the other place? That’s how I feel. I’m not saying I’m unhappy about moving, I’m very glad it happened… but the school sort of devovled. Degenerated? Dejiggered? Whatever the word is, that’s what happened.

At least it’s retained the loving teachers I had. Sadly, this whole “soda” dilima is making me angry. It’s the worst idea in the world: removing soda from high schools will make kids less fat. Really? Is that the state’s answer to obesity? Banning soda? Don’t make me laugh. That’s like saying if they stopped making twinkies, no one in the world would be fat. Fat chance. People will be fat no matter what they eat or drink, giving them a fattening choice for a drink might actually help in the long run. Think about it: removing a fattening choice makes someone buy it when it is a choice, by leaving it there, it will help people learn to keep away from those urges. In that sense, they can eventually stay healthy rather than get healthy and then gain back all the weigt due to never learning how to decide what’s best.

I’m just ranting of course, I want my freaking soda. I’m fat and happy with it, there’s no chance that I’ll lose as much weigt as some athelete, but I’m fine with that.

Oh well. As for my new catch phrase, I’ll take a page from Watchmen…
