What a mediocre day at best. I’ve had a string of them lately. Maybe I’m just in a funk. School was okay as usual. I have a fleeting sense of optimism about K.W. but I see a hope rebound in the future. It’s my thing. After school Mike, Shannon and I took our older sister Kim to work. Naturally we mooched some food for a little snack. Hey, ride’s not free. I checked the schedule and found out that I have to work tomorrow night. Then I came home and watched Fun House. Later on, Mike and I went to Pete’s house and talked about a lot of things. Just shootin-the-shit. We also shot some hoop in the dark. It was fun. Pete is a good buddy. Today is the 25th anniversary of JFK’s assassination.
It makes me think of how sad America is today. The self-proclaimed rebels and hippes of the 60’s have turned all conservative chasing the dollar. The candidates for president are more pathetic than inspiring. People are too complacent and afraid of change. Which is one reason why a weenie like Bush was elected. One of the saddest examples is how Bush and Reagan recently made a list of the most admired men. Based on what I ask? Presidents no longer heroes to the young. Just kind of figureheads of ideologies. Young people only admire money. The torch that was supposed to be passed from Kennedy went out when he dide. We need youth and excitement and enthusiasm all the way from the school house to the white house. This, not a better economy, false promises, will make America better. The rest will just fall in line. Oh well, that is my philosophy.
