Attention all space heads, cosmo soldiers, and sci-nerds, “The Revolution Starts Now!!!” As a product of society I have coined the phrase………Make Society Productive to It’s Members……How you ask….Simple. All you have to do is sacrifice a little of your coveted TV time, open your mind to events outside of your immediate day to day life, take a risk every once in a while, and care about other people. 85% of the people reading this just stopped, convinced themselves that was too difficult, and clicked back on their link to MySpace….for those of you left, let’s begin.
Revolution is an important occurrence, and one that happens everyday around you. Most revolutions go unrecognized because they do not immediately affect your everyday life, or atleast not enough for you to want to expend the time and effort necessary to help. It takes the courage of individuals fed-up with the way something is happening. Once enough people are fed-up, they ban together, find a common cause, and fight for it. What is your Revolution? Everybody is fed-up with something. If you don’t make it change, it may never, and you may have to be fed-up with it for the rest of your life. No matter how many people try to tell you otherwise…”We are not put on earth to wander miserably working jobs we hate and drooling over needless goods we can not afford” There is more to life than that.
Most Revolutions fail…….but when you try, it distracts you from how tired of monotonous existence you are. It makes you feel important because you are. That is worth it for me...I don't know about you. Don’t be talked out of fighting for what matters to you. Don’t think people in offices or on TV will run the world better than you. Your opinion is just as important as the presidents. Your opinion is just as important as Oprah’s. Your opinion has the same importance as a celebrities, or reality TV actor’s. Revolutions are not televised, they are synchronized.
What is revolutionary about my generation? What do we stand for? What galactic significance do we have? Will anybody write anything about us in History Books? I am officially dropping the term Generation X and replacing it with what we really are…….The Puppet Generation. Media, Corporations, Oil Companies, all the things winy individuals like myself bitch about constantly. Everything we have adopted into our regular everyday life has tiny fish hooks on it. Consumer goods, weight loss pills, and fashion trends dangle slowly down, hypnotizing us, and laying gently against our flesh. As soon as they make contact the Puppet Masters yank back quickly embedding these hooks under our skin. Now we move and act as they please, to get what they have convinced us we need. I’d rather bitch all day to no prevail then dance like a good little puppet. But hey…I’m a Revolutionary. The kind of rebellious society rearranging wacko they just might write about in History Books someday.
Why not start numerous Revolutions right now at this moment? Is trying to change the way things operate in society really that much of a waste of time? Is catching “Your Show” more important? Ask yourself these questions, but don’t take my advice I am a cynical, hypocritical, Rebellion Addict. Decide for yourself if you hold back from saying things you really think because you don’t want to stir the pot. Ask yourself if changing the world is worth the consequences of rebellion. Ask yourself if “The Revolution Starts Now!!!” or if you would rather have somebody else decide what is worth fighting for. I’m gonna’ go start a revolution!!! Peace and knowledge…..Bear the Astronot.
