Go out for a night ride. An hour later we realize we got lost in crazy dark Riverside scared for our lives. What a night. (Taken with instagram)
Why is it so hard to get myself to write sometimes? I have so much inspiration and so much on my head yet I can’t seem myself to make it to my computer. I will come on tumblr numerous amount of times, but I will just look at new post or just click on it for clicking. Its just weird that nowadays I can spend an endless amount of time seemingly being productive when I really am doing the completely opposite. I will check my facebook but not really contact anyone. I just open it and say ” wonder if anyone wants to talk to me”? Or just to see if anything new is up. Its not like I’m anti social or anything, but I just feel that if I have nothing significant to say to anyone or don’t truly want to talk to anyone I see no point. I mean I spend sometime stalking, but that’s a last resort if I’m that bored.
Just having a computer is such a distraction. Even though I know I spend my time doing just about nothing I can’t quite step away from it. I’m not addicted, just the fact that it takes almost no work to browse around I find myself doing that rather than something worth my time. What’s even more weird is the fact that I was never really used to being around the computer so much, but the world has come to the point in which everything depends on this. A lot of people believe this is “great” because its an advancement to our prior methods. It bugs me to be honest.
People aren’t as fun and social as before. When I was younger and not as fortunate I had more fun. Some say that’s a bit absurd, quite the contrary, I really believe this. Now I know that before I would have never imagined I would have surfed, snowboarded, skated, biked, and a bunch more stuff. But that’s only temporary. See surfing is amazing, but I don’t live by the beach. Biking is fun, but you can only ride solo for so long. And so on, but before I could walk down my street knowing I had friends who wanted to play anything or do anything to have fun. Hide and seek, racing Hot Wheels, and even just flying paper planes. I also know that I am suppose to mature and consider new things fun, but what is “fun” to this generation just really isn’t much fun.
It sucks because I know my little sister won’t have a childhood as fun as mine. I see way to many kids hooked on electronics now. What’s the fun in that? I know I played video games, but that was at home and not much else was going on. I mean I could have kept myself busy if I smoked weed or was into what everyone else in my school or age group was into, but none of that was doing me any good. It just worries me to see what will happen to my little sister. Another thing is that since I am moving away I feel like I’ll miss out on what goes on with her. I’m worried even though she is a pretty good/cool kid. But, anyone call fall short, and some are better than others at putting on mask. I know this because I was pretty good at it and I’m not saying this like I’m bragging because I’m not.
She will soon be introduced to so much and I just pray that she will stay strong. This is why I just wished at times we lived elsewhere. I know living here has been a blessing, but so was living in other places even when we weren’t as fortunate. The point of this is just that it gets to me to see how much the definition of “fun” has changed. When I hang out with people they are stuck on their phones and always texting or on Facebook or just anything really. People find their phones so entertaining and maybe its because I don’t have a smartphone, but phones aren’t that amazing. Another thing is how just about everyone from a certain place I won’t mention can not go out or hang out without spending money. It has just become a trend to always go out and eat and not really do much else. What’s wrong with just chillen and relaxing. It seems just about impossible to do this because people forget how to enjoy small things. I can enjoy a day filled with doing just about nothing with people I love then, more than I would enjoy a day with people I love as company but that just aren’t fun. Also people aren’t as “down” for new things or old things. That sounds a bit contradictory, but people are stuck in today.
Seriously people need to learn to live a little. I am tired of hanging just being going out to get food and that’s it. I like doing other stuff and I’m sure others do to. But, too much fun is also not good which is why some days I just want to chill and do nothing, but not have a ton of technology around. Everything is referenced to tv shows or internet or facebook and people don’t really have other things outside of that. Brainwashing is taking over the world. Not really, but kinda. Live a little.
