World to fast?

In my creative nonfiction course, many of my peers have written about how much they dislike this “fast paced” world we live in. But, will we ever be able to slow down?

A Change?

Although random media and quotes are interesting, and culture is meant to be passed around, my tumblr has honestly become a waste of internet and network space.  Sure, earlier in my “tumblr youth” I’ve had some interesting posts.  It may be conceited, liking my own posts, but we all should be proud of our work every once in the while and say “screw you” to the man when the man wants to put you down.  No, I don’t mean to say this to a cop when getting pulled over for street racing your friend, although you may have beat him.  In this case, unless the cop understands the adrenaline rush of illegally street racing and is in an extremely good mood, he’s not going to give you a high-five for telling him to screw himself; instead he will probably give you the greatest punishment he can.

Nonetheless, I am not deleting my tumblr.  Confused?  Let me explain.  I’m a college student and every Monday-Thursday and slug my way to work and class.  But somehow, while simultaneously learning more than the day prior, I end up with more questions; questions that make me think and I find others should think about too.  Therefore, be prepared, because every time I think of a questions to share I’m going to post it.  Read, relax, and think.

You cannot run away from a weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?
