Michael Christensen- Anything

There is no value to this post. I have no intrinsic reason to write it. My personal reasons for coming to college was mental illumination through a liberal learning and to gain the experience of a college community. That is done and over, I have learned all that I will. Now I just await that all-important piece of paper. That piece of paper, though, is only important because society has left me with no visible way to go my own. I'd love to have been a pioneer in the days when land was young and virgin territory, but there is nothing to explore by foot and hand. And there seem no places which can produce shelter, water, and food (all a man needs besides some company) in achievable potentiality, which are not fenced off to be sold. What is one to do when all the land around him has been sectioned off and taxed by the generations past?

To another land, I might suppose, but they are beginning to look all the same. There is a McDonald's in every country it seems, a Starbucks in every land. Can a man not escape his own back yard? Possibly today, but what about tomorrow? It seems everyone is so connected that there shall be but one culture, with several fractions that pretend they are not alike. Only those without a computer can truly say they are not a part of this majority, but only if their acquaintances also do without.

As to identity, soon shall come a day when a man travels twelve thousand miles and they already know his favorite color of shoes, that is what this internet does. And when you meet them, those people twelve thousand miles away, they shall comment on the rude comment you made towards a bartender, that is what the internet will do. Of course they shall not look into the fact that the man shorted your change and watered down your drink, for people are not interested in hearing both sides when one is juicy. And so everyone will eventually see everyone else at their worst, and even the saints will be known for their sins. Can it be any way but this?
