Heres my Mark

Change is impossible in a worldly sense.  All we can ever hope to do is leave a mark.  All we have ever done, as humans is leave a mark.  But how do you convey tangibles?..love, lust, hate...feelings in general?  One day if not already, the world will become a set of footstep and you will step where at least someone else has stepped.  Theres nothing left to conquere, no more magical places with mystery and monsters.  What were left with is unfinished property lined fences, litter, and the life of the forgotten.  All we can ever hope to do is leave our mark.  Something that will stand the test of time.  Something that will mean something to someone.  Something real!

...More Gen X quotes

"Are you the stranger that will rescue me?  Starved for affection, terrified of abandonment."

"But there invariably comes a certain point where our youth fails us; where college fails us; where mom and dad fauk us."

Generation X and the quote of the day

"You really have to wonder why we even bother to get up in the morning.  I mean, really:  Why work?  Simply to buy more stuff?  Thats just not enough, look at us all."

"I should realize that the only reason we all go to work in the morning is because we're terrfied of what would happen if we stopped.  We're not built for free time as a species.  We think we are but we aren't."

"why is it so impossible to de-complicate my life?"

glorifying mediocrity

Its funny how our memories defeat us.  How in retrospect we remember things better or worse than they really were.  Everytime you think about something great or something painful that you have done or have had done to you it always seems magnified, that much better or that much worse.  Eventually we even stop feeling and it becomes but an empy memory with feeling that should be there.  But I guess thats how we get by, glorifying mediocrity, making things that much better than they really were.

douglas coupland and the quote of the day

These set of quotes are from the book "Generation X" by douglas coupland.  I picked up "Generation X" and "Life after God".  Coupland is a good read.

"We spend our youth attaining wealth and our wealth attaining youth"

"All your doing with your life is collecting objects and nothing more"

"its all over; kind of scarry, kind of sexy, and tainted by regret, a lot like life, wouldn't you say?"
