Have to catch an early train
Gotta be to work at 9
If i had an airplane
I still couldnt make it on time
Cuz it takes me so long just to figure out what im gonna wear
Blame it on the train but the bus is already there

Its just another manic monday
Wish it was sunday
Thats my fun day
My I dont have to run day
Its just another manic monday.

- Yeah I feel you


Do we, as human beings, ever stop struggling with identity? At first, its a struggle to identify ourselves with something. Then it becomes a struggle to identify ourselves by what we don't identify ourselves with. As a kid, I used to think at some magic adult age I would begin to understand the complexities of humanity. I thought that understanding was something inherent to adults, but I am beginning to think I was wrong. I'm not sure why I always thought that by the time I turned 21, the mysteries of life would suddenly be revealed to me. I guess that is one of those big let downs that we have to come to terms with as we get older. I certainly didn't have any epiphany explaining to me why life is the way it is . In some ways, my experiences and the knowledge I have gained sinced I was a child has actually hindered the way in which I understand the world.
... strange

Random facts that startled me:
Infant mortality rate: United States ranked 42nd
Life Expectancy: 45th
GDP per capita: 10th
Overall Health: 72nd
Freedom of the Press: 44th
Literacy: 55th

What the hell happened?
When is this country going to get it together?
