Our Love/Hate Relationship with Time

Sometimes, we think of time as the best thing in the world, and sometimes we wish it didn't exist. The following illustrate both views.
Love= Lawyer: *thinks to himself* 5...4...3...2...1! Yes! 1 hour! That's $300 for me!
Hate= Student: Crap, that's due today. (enough said)
Love= It's dessert time!!!
Hate= Are we there yet?
Love= I'm 21 today!
Hate= I'm 89 today...
Either way, time is uavoidable. It's just there. Too bad.

Out with the old! (not)

As students, we are constantly pressured by our teachers to learn about the ways of the old, and see how awesome the world today is compared to that. It seems like the world was so different back then....back where technology ceased to exist and we still thought that fire was a pretty cool discovery. But how different are we from our ancient ancestors really?
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."
Guess who said that! And no, it wasn't your mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa, or 50 year old hippo. In fact, this quote is from the long deceased mummy of Socrates, 400 BC. Good to know that we youth haven't lost our spirit in 2409 years, eh?

My Dreams of Better Tomorrows

I dream of a better tomorrow where chickens can cross the road without needing their motives. I dream of a better tomorrow where you receive real bacon when you push the button.
I dream of a better tomorrow where studying doesn't consist of "student" and "dying"
I dream of a better tomorrow where trees can fall without being questioned about the sound they make
I dream of a better tomorrow where telephone poles can be square
I dream of a better tomorrow where doorknobs aren't so round and tedious
I dream of a better tomorrow where people STOP STEALING OUR DIAMONDS! LEAVE US ALONE!!!!!
I dream of a better tomorrow where my dreams of better tomorrows actually come true.
