Things have changed, forever.

I was talking to a friend from high school and he remarked how much I had changed.

I looked up and said "Oh totally, I'm a different person."

He wasn't saying I was nicer, thinner, fatter, more punk rock or just a poser now; he thought I was like a totally different person entirely. He hadn't changed a bit, he was still smoking pot everyday and taking a college course for creative writing with no job.

I'm not trying to bash him or myself, but I thought about it, and I was totally cool with it. I'm happy about my "new" self to some people, and I'm happy I've changed.

Change in a person is not a bad thing, it is necessary. Would you want to hang out with a person if they just told the same story every single time? Laughed the exact same way every day? Only impressed you in one dimension? I sure wouldn't. I'd be bored to tears. They way people constantly shift and change is part of life-an even better term is evolution.

If people didn't evolve and change we never would have made it as a species. If the first people had stayed in caves in small groups and never started agriculture or cities we would just be another animal on the planet, undoubtedly controlled by another species of carnivore or the changing of the seasons. Some people would say we need to go back to those times and we were better off, but unfortunately those folks are inbred retards. As "evolved" as we are we wouldn't last anymore, as a race we've grown soft and our bodies have adapted to a higher standard of living. We simply would die out without grocery stores. And besides, those times were tens of thousands of years ago: grow the fuck up.

It's not bad if you're changing for the better. If you're happier and feel better about yourself, change every day of the week. Spike your hair up one day and wear a leather jacket with your purple tights the next; who gives a fuck? It is your life to live and make the best of.

Don't be afraid of what's around that corner.

We're the ramblin' boys of pleasure...
