two hours spent at 518 west in celebration of paralegal week. delish, except that it comes at a time when i needn't be gone that long. yet here i sit typing this entry.
distracted? that'd be me.
dreaming of blue skies, clear & balmy winds, a hammock, & the ebb & flow of the ocean. relaxation would be grand.
on another note, i am tired of hearing the age-old cop-out for people whining about how they hate their life yet do nothing to change that. i can't lie & say i haven't been there, but i've learned that to complain about it & do nothing is worth nothing.
ranting is fine, if it's ranting with purpose. if it's constructive & it's supported with action. to quote the hippies (with a twist, of course), "make change, not war". how much change comes from empty rants against TheMan™ if it's nothing more than vocalized disenchantment?
perhaps even in writing this entry i'm doing empty ranting. i'm not changing anybody's minds about this subject, but i haven't been afraid to share my opinion on this matter if people ask. or even those who don't. but when does the opinion cross into the realm of intolerance?
we could apply that to the area of intolerance about particular (im)moral activities. or about someone's clothing or music choices.
it seems the internet has sparked the desire for even the nerd to be the king of their world. perhaps it just elevates the particular parts of their personality to form an entire subpersonality. like a subculture on completely not.
i'm rambling now.
