All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow, no tommorow.
And I find it kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad.
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World....
Mad World....
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me.
And I find it kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad.
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World....

I question existence everyday. Hell, I configure existence everyday. I also believe that we as a whole have become reasonably lazy and uninspiring. (in response to your comment on my blog.) But, I truly believe that not everyone was put here to inspire and revolutionize... If that were true then who would we inspire? What would we make new? Yes, society is very depressing at times but you have to accept that we are not cattle and each one of us has the ability to look at the big picture. It's whether we choose to that makes us inspiring and shape-changing. Give humanity another chance Ti. You know as well as I do that problems as well as broken barriers will never stop no matter how lazy we get. I hope your ready for next week because you, kid frost and I are going to have a wee discussion even if I have to break into the WOW mainframe and make all your characters homosexual to reflect their creators...lol
Thats a sad song, but good one. Its good to ponder about life but every now and then you have to just let it go. It can drag you down too much sometimes. Lighten up - life is short. :) But look whos talkin' right?
The others are right. Lighten up on the world. Sure you think that this country is evil and corrupt, etc, etc. But look at what you have and what other countries don't have. You could be having your house shelled right now like other people in this world. We have it pretty easy here in the U.S. so I don't feel like life is all that depressing and sad. It's what you make of it. Don't let the idiots on the other side of the phone get to you. Not everyone in this world is a computer guru (whether self proclaimed or not). And all computer geeks are not master phychologists with the key to salvation. We all have our specialties in this place and that is what it takes to make things work. Helping each other. Maybe you could do some charity work or something to perk your spirits. See how lucky you are to have your upbringing and place in society and see how unfortunate others are in comparison. Sometimes seeing someone else down on their luck makes you realize what you have. Take it from me, I've seen plenty down on their luck.
