What does it mean to be alive?
Most people would say...
"Doesn't that mean your big red thing is still beating or something? Uh hur.. "
Well, physically that is true... but, what does it mean to truly live...
Does it mean that we spend half the day drunk and the rest dancing our arse off just to impress people who will probably die in two years or less out of their own idiocracy and really have no true goals in life other than just to live to see another beer?... bunch of idiots just has to shove a bottle rocket up their butt and light it... >.<
Should we risk our lives on some andrenaline hype by plummeting from an airplane at thirty thouand feet, with nothing but a tightly woven set of beatsheets to fall back on?
Well.. that may be fun, ya know with the third degree burns and the cuncussions Wait... No.. not at all... >.< Not even close...
We all make our own ways in life... wrestle our own snow lepoard if you will... Unless of course you're a zombie then you just follow the scent of brains so that you can get your munch on, either that or you're one of those super shallow blond chicks who reads that fashion magazine like a bible, who also has the brain the size of a pea and bankrupts the family by making thousands of calls to random people she meets on Twitter, before 7 PM on weekdays... THE ROAMING AND LONG DISTANCE CHARGES WILL BE ENORMOUS!!!!
We all find our own purpose to make that next step, to take that next slap in the face and keep on saying "BRING IT ON SUCKA!!!" To always remain hopeful about the future, to view everything like a newborn child.. so innocently and hopefully, but always just retaining a bit of our coffee addicted, super grumpy, but wise adult side to keep us in check...For instance, just because something in the oven looks delicious doesn't mean we need to climb in and slam our faces into it... Or be curious if a flagpole during Winter tastes anything like one of those coolaid pops in the freezer... We cannot just leap into something... we must first assess our subject, then if it doesn't look like it's going to blow up in our faces like some demented cheap chinese baby doll with a nuclear warhead for batteries, we can test it out....
Before I get too off subject...
Just because someone seems healthy and alive does not really mean that they are "Living" They may seem chewy and delcious on the outside like a chocolate bar from the last century, but on the inside is a stinky glob of purple goo that threatens to destroy all that should consume it.. or at least give them severe indegestion...
Most people are just shells... etching out a blank.. meaningless.. redundant existance, seeming to be more robot than man as they carry out their daily tasks with deadly, but hollow effiency... their only true motivation being to survive another day.. like we all wish to do...
These are the walking dead...
That is why we must never forget what it means to really be alive... to enjoy each precious moment as if it were our last... To endure every storm with pride and still go dancing out in the rain...
Do not forsake your humanity no matter what... except for becoming a cyborg, but... other than that.. there are no exceptions...
Learn to love everything... to hate nothing... but, to no id-idly sit around and play Mario while the friendly neighborhood terrorist is destroying the local Wal-Mart downtown, threatening hundreds of lives in the process all for some silly and infantile belief.... Protect what is precious to you, and even what isn't precious.. or moderately worth selling on Ebay for that matter...
Every life is important... Do your best to save as many as you can while you can, but remember, you're not superman, you can't fly and you can fix all the world's problems in one day or by yourself for that matter, rally others under your banner of hope and strength... Teach them how to be just, but forgiving as well... to be courageous even when all seems lost.. To not wet themselves at every little problem that fate throws at them... To be generous... To sacrifice for the greater good of all man and woman, kind. to always try to offer aid to those in need, but to not force them to accept it... You can't make a hobo wear pants if he doesn't want to... To be there for anyone who may be suffering.. not only physically, but emotionally as well... Let them know that the world isn't just one big heaping stinky slime ball like everyone would lead them to suspect it would be... Always remember that there is something far greater than ourselves on the line right now... All it would take is for us to look outside our racist in a box attitude and accept people for who they are, we could have most of the world's issues solved within a day or so, but alas... it's never truly that easy...
Learn to laugh... to love... to feel again... don't just shut yourself away in a closet with a box of cheesezits and type to random strangers on the internet... There's never a moment to waste, but don't kill yourself trying to make full use of each one for then it completely backfires the purpose... you must live live, but remeber to enjoy it as well...
And far more important than all of these, try your hardest to locate that special person in this world who was destined to be with you, hold onto them, let them be your pillar of strength to hold you up... to comfort you when you feel lost and alone... To unlock more joy than you could've ever imagined possible in ten thousand years of thinking, just completely overwhelming your existence in the torrent of passion and rainbow light that will never cease, completely blotting out the darkness of the collapsing world around you... with them by your side.. you can do anything....
Take these hundreds of words to heart... write them down on sticky notes if need be, paste them on your facebook wall... just never forget who you really are within... for it would just be a complete dishonor to all those who would give their last breath for you...
I have far too much to write, but I am far too lazy to continue, if you all wish me to keep this up, just tell me... but not tonight... I'll be more than happy to later....

Wow.. 0_0 A living person commented on my profile and it's not in Spanish!!! ^_^
I am slightly now less embarrased to admit to the fact that I am indeed.. the super wierdo nerd who had a couple hours to sit down and write this..
I can't help but being a little funny.. if you had the body of a 15 year old and the mind of a small toddler.. then you would have difficulty not laughing at everything you see...
hehe.. dead kittens! >w< - Report As Spam
