Freeway

As I was sitting on the freeway this morning, I decided to take a look around. This is an account of the thoughts that went through my head..cause there was nothing else to do considering we were stopped.

A freeway is a weird thing-

It is a huge slab on cement on which we drive these huge metal contraptions.

It is a spot laid out and specified for only that use.

Trees were taken down and natural land was covered by a plethora of concrete.

Awesome? I'm not sure...

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy and fully understand the purpose of a car and roads for it to go on, but the reality of the fact that these things have overrun our lives is just astounding.

We are so controlled by it. We are so confined by it. We are so dependent on it.

Yes, it makes more sense to this modern world, yes I love being able to get to the place I want to be within 30 minutes, yes I love that I don't have to spend my day within walking distance- but is it a waste? Maybe there are better things we can be putting on our earth?

I don't know. I'm not quite sure what my point is here, but I just think its weird that we've laid out sections of concrete on which we maneuver giant chunks of metal and that gets us to where we want to be.

This world will never cease to amaze me. And I guess I am easily amazed.

Anybody feel me?

College

I feel like Chris Kretzu right now because I'm sitting, eating and browsing. and I've been here for well over an hour. How do you do it Chris? I'm starting to get bored. Maybe thats why you write so many blogs.

Anyways, as stated above, I'm sitting. What I didn't tell you is that I'm sitting in the cafe of CBU. Which means, I am in college, or, at least, on a college campus. But I really am in college, as much as I will ever be; and that is weird.

I don't feel like I'm in college. I don't feel old enough; there are like, 24 year olds here, and I go to school with them? no way! hah. Things are definitely different here. There are no bells telling us when to go to class, I can sit and do nothing for like, ever while people are in class and not have to be in class, because I don't have class.

Maybe it is setting in. If so, can I stay in college forever? Cause I really like this.
