I Want to be a Billionaire

I don't want to be famous, I just want to be rich. I just heard no too long ago that many of the students from my high school have been making moves. Some are writing books, others are starring in musics. Then some are throwing themselves into the music game headfirst. A guy from my university song' is being played on the radio every other hour, and is steadily climbing the pop charts. My old teacher just got cast as an extra in a film. everybody else from high school are either models, or music artists. This makes me feel as if I am doing nothing. I am at a standstill, while the world is on fast forward. I have to something to make myself stand out, right now. But what?

People

Sometimes I really love people. It is the most simplest things that they do that make you realize how many good and decent people exist. Whether it is a random stranger smiling at you, or a person helping someone get their stroller off the bus. Or other times when something awkward happens and a person you never talked to before tells you their own awkward story, and then you guys laugh through it. The best part is that no one ask these people to do these things, no one even expects them to, but they do it anyways. People can be really nice and wonderful sometimes. The fact that people are capable of these surprise moments of tenderness and understanding, is what separates humans from other creatures.

Feeling Restless

So all I have been doing for the last few weeks is going to work. I have a summer internship at a law firm, in which I work six hours a day, Monday through Friday. Lately I have been coming home from work, watching a movie, getting ready for bed, waking up, getting ready for work, going to work. repeat. It feels like I have been spending the summer in isolation. I have not talked to any of my friends or my family on the phone or in person either for a long time. At work all of my colleagues are older than me so when they have their office conversations I get left out. Of course all these people who "miss me so much" and haven't "seen me in such a long time" never gets in contact with me. And when I get into contact with them, they are so busy that they have to pencil me in. "Is Friday good for you? Let's go ahead and say Friday at 4:30pm." This is a reason that I can't wait to get back to school. Hundreds, if not thousands of people will be forced to be in contact with me.

My First Post: Facebook

Naturally my first post would be about Facebook. It is one of the fastest growing and most accessible social-networking sites of today. Unfortunately I'm not writing this post to talk about how great Facebook is. I am writing this post to say how disappointed I am in the people on Facebook. Facebook is supposed to be about making connections with your friends and family and colleagues. But people still manage to be catty little sub-humans. I mean it's ridiculous. Just who are these people being catty with any how. Facebook was not created so that you could compare who has the most friends on Facebook. That's why it used to specifically ask you how you knew that person before you added them or they added you. So in theory these people are either arguing and being nasty with their first cousin, or they abused their Facebook privileges and just added people for the heck of it.There bad. Here is some advice about Facebook: don't add people that you don't know, and certainly don't add people that you don't like. If you just add anybody, don't get pissy when some of their comments show up in your feed. The word "DUH" comes to mind. But some people will always find some way to be catty.
And then again there are those people who will post absolutely anything on Facebook. I don't know about everybody else, but I am friends with my family, friends, teachers, colleagues, and boss on Facebook. So basically all the people who know me on a personal level. I am sure that your boss does not want to know how well-endowed you are. Or for that matter, I am sure much of the world doesn't want to know either. And then there are those people who simply have no discretion about their personal business. I mean the world, or all the people that you are friends with on Facebook, doesn't really care who you have "beef" with. That's really dumb and childish to cuss people out over Facebook. Isn't that what cell phones on public transportation are for.
Lastly, there are those people who post those really skanky, inappropriate pictures on Facebook. Odds are most of your family and friends already know what a whore you are, there is no need to remind them. Some of those people are so desperate for some attention from their audience of their sexual preference, that they will post any picture on the web. Goodness gracious. This is Facebook, not a local dating site. Please be considerate of why many others are currently on the site. And don't think that I'm just talking about girls. Men's so called racy pictures are too much as well. I mean what is so impressive about your chest. The same chest that everybody sees when it gets above 70 degrees outside. It is less like a private show, and more like a public spectacle.
Get it together my Facebook people. I know that I am not perfect either, but come on.
