Another Ordinary Day

School leaves me way too much time to think about meaningless things. For instance, today I sat in the same Calculus room for TWO HOURS listening to a classmate blast Mr. Zeplin from his iPhone (to which the substitute teacher asks, "Who's Led Zeplin?"). So as I sit in the harsh desk chair I begin to think about the other people in the class and how it seems they are stuck in a constant state of discontentment. Everyone wants happiness, but with it comes the risk of losing whatever it is that makes him happy, and that in itself makes one downcast. In the end only the losers are winners. Funny how that works.

And now for my quote of the day.
As I am walking through the parking lot after school a kid in my 7th period class catches up to me and starts the conversation like this:
Him: I've figured out why you're always so nice to me.
Me: Is that so?
Him: Yes, it's because you think I'm Roman Catholic.

...

Have a nice day.

It appears my heart is human after all,
feeling pain, desperation, despair
because the more you push, the harder I fall.

It's funny how the better things get, the worse they can be. Everyone wants happiness, but with it there is such risk. Only the losers win...because they've got nothing to lose.
