Too long

Almost every day that passes by I always think about updating the blog, via computer or phone, but somehow I always manage to pass that opportunity by.  This update will be a random one.

One idea that I had in my had about blogging and promised myself I would blog about was the idea that poorer people in America compromise the majority of the military's army; turning to the military for job security and a steady pay with upward movement.  They always take the chance of going to war.  It's interesting to think of it as them fighting for their freedom, maybe like an ancient gladiator.  These people fight to escape the pressures of economic slavery, of being so wholly oppressed by money that they'd put their lives on the line via firefights just to escape it.  Just an interesting angle to look at it from.  The notion that today, in the 21st century, we still fight for our freedom (in one form or another).

Other than that a lot has happened.  I can't keep track of it all.  It flows by and I try and catch it and hold onto the precious memory, but I too and swept away in the river of Time.  

One leaf of a memory that I held onto (perhaps because it fell onto me just recently) I cut myself with a knife by accident started bleeding.  So I made a contract I had been mentally following which is to be 'extreme'.  By being extreme, it's really just stepping outta your comfort zone and pushing yourself beyond your own boundaries and doing things you wouldn't normally do - for the sake of being extreme.  So far I'm the only one to sign the contract in blood.  I highly doubt anyone else will.  

I'm not sure how I feel about that.
