So I’ve been contemplating how to go about this post for a while; and I still don’t really know how to go about it. This partly due to the fact that I constantly ask: will people actually read this? Will they actually take the time to comprehend what I’m trying to say? Well with 72 followers it gets pretty difficult to answer these questions. 

But regardless I guess I might as well get it over with. The other day a few friends, Steven, and I went on an art field trip to the Metropolitan Art Museum in NYC. And it was a complete blast, mostly because we snuck out of the museum and took a nice stroll through the upper westside of New York. But while taking our walk in the beautiful weather around Central Park, the Huxtable-like-homes, and the ridiculous amount of S-class Mercedes, I began to think. I began to think of the reason Steven and I started this blog. I began to realize that we were pretty much walking in the very place that was the epitome of the “American dream”.

As it states in our little About Us, we live in town surrounded by people who are spoon fed. This results in an atmosphere that encourages one to be snobby, gaudy, lazy, and attend the local community college. In other words, its like getting sucked into a black hole that impedes one to mature and comprehend that there is a world outside of Mommy and Daddy’s comfort, from the big houses, and the snotty degenerates that stay home. A world that requires you to fend for yourself; which I’m not trying to say is a negative thing, in fact, I believe it only helps one grow into being a stronger and more successful individual. 

Don’t get me wrong, though, I’m not trying to put the blame on anyone, its merely parents being parents and children’s ignorance, they don’t know any better. And at the same time I’m not trying to come off like I’m not grateful. But what I’m trying to say is that as an individual, you have to take the initiative to “make it” on your own. Steven and I come from two completely different up-bringings and backgrounds and yet we both have the same passion to try and get out of this SHIT black hole and make it for ourselves. This is the reason we’ve become as close as we have; because, we have discerned this. We both took a step back and realized that in order to grow as a person, home is the farthest place we need to be. Walking through the streets of NYC, I couldn’t help but come to grips with the fact that I was surrounded by people who understood this very notion. And luckily the friends we shared our time with at the “MET” apprehended this as well.

All in all, what I’m trying to say is that our trip to New York was really fun. Haha (Even though thats not at all what I said). Regardless, this trip was a great way to reinforce how I need to be proactive and as Drake said so simplistically, “Do me”.
