unique?



So because of the worldwide rule that after 12:00 midnight, the day changes, it looks like i'm posting twice for today, but thats bologna.


i don't quite grasp the concept of individuality yet, being as though it has become extinct nowadays. it's more of a history project now, than a way of life. even though i may leave the house with not one item of clothing matching another, there most likely is someone wearing the exact same outfit as me, because nobody has the ability to think for themselves anymore. not even just reguarding style, but ideas too. it's impossible for anyone to copyright anything anymore because everyone steals it before the ink on the page has a chance to dry. and it's those warm sheets of paper, fresh from the printer, that are the only specs of light in this foggy, plagiaristic world. because for even that fraction of a second that a sentance remains unread, it has a purpose, a history, and the ability to enduce change. and then it's duplicated, and becomes less important. then its twisted, and the meaning makes no sence. so all of you aspiring writers, please don't feel disrespected, or attacked when you find your thesis on the side of a bus tomorrow, followed by a picture of a half naked woman which in no way relates to your idea on how the world became the way it is. it's mearly a perfume ad now. i guess we all need to just get over it now. but when i do find that one special peice of writing that makes me stop and think, because i have never heard it before, i will be sure to hide that book in the sci-fi section. right next to the alien vs. preditor xbox game guide, because let's be honest, the person looking for that book, will breeze right by your's. and your idea will stay warm, and untouched. And that, my friends, is a promise.
