There is a reason I don't blog often. (or even update my facebook status or tweet)

Like most people, I only feel it's appropriate to say about 10% of the things that I think. Only 5% is internet appropriate and that is only after carefully consideration. Will a future employer be turned off by this? Will this offend anyone? Will I regret putting this on the interwebz? Pretty much to decide if it is PC enough.

Turns me off from wanting to share anything on the internet. I am aware that a lot of my views are not shared by the majority and sharing them would only lead to comments from people who are offended or disagree with what I say. Most likely leading to a circle of discussion (lame people call it arguing) in which each side tries their darnedest to explain their view. This is good. Discussion is good. That is when you learn things.

Then there will be the folks who irk my nerves the most. The indifferent. They just don't care. They are just here. Some may even want to have children.....but they don't give a darn about making things better for them. They just want to live and then die. I don't understand. But ey, do you. Just don't question me for caring. Don't negatively stereotype those who do care. Don't frown your face up at the ones who are willing to do something. You've decided you have no opinion on anything. Remain indifferent when those who are willing to do are DOING. (Looks like I had a little rant there)

 Should I post my "provocative" opinions on the world wide web anyways? Nope. Because people are snooty. People don't like to be challenged. People don't like to examine themselves. People like being PC. Ordinarily I could give 2 flips how people feel about it but I'm gonna need a job one day. Future employers and graduate school acceptance committees be lurking. So I'll save all that until I am able employ to myself.

But in being silent sometimes feel as if I am not doing my part. Or worse yet, like I'm one of those indifferent mofos. Pacified by my need to get a job in the future. Like I'm somehow playing into this twisted system. (ish just got deep) So I let out little rants every now and then but never reply to the comments in the way I would really like to....big brothers watching me and such.

Alas I am young. I have plenty of time to ponder what role I want to take or create. I am not a great writer anyway. Getting my jumble of thoughts organized on paper is beyond difficult. (Of course it wouldn't be if I could just type it the way it came without worrying about politically correctness. I hate having to spoon feed my thoughts and would rather just not share them at all if I can't do it the way I want.) At the moment, I feel as if my actions will do much more to spread awareness for various things than a blog post, tweet, or facebook status will ever do.
