We are The Lazy Generation

I picked up the following title "We are The Lazy Generation" from some song I remember hearing a little while back. Let's be quite frank, we are kinda lazy at times. We use remotes to change channels on our televisions, an overwhelming majority (to my sincere belief) do not scan songs they download from livewire that have viruses and THERE'S no e before a word ending in -ing! (Okay that's more sheer stupidity than laziness) but I'm getting to that actually.

See, I was just on Myspace about 10 minutes ago just browsing random people on the site out of boredom. What I saw was not only common-sight but downright sickening. How often do you see "RIP ___insert name here___" on someone's status on their Myspace. With all do respect, I understand that a lot of deaths are unpreventable such as kid's who suffer from Cancer as one example. However, let's be completely real here: A LOT of those deaths are in fact preventable and they all stem from sheer stupidity. I mean, it's safe to assume a lot of these deaths probably involve over drinking, perhaps excessive drug use... etc. I mean I don't mean to be Mr. Stern here, I like to have as much fun as the next guy but even I have the smarts to know that too much of anything can be a bad thing.

So...that's just my two cents regarding that matter. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe I ought to shut up cause I've never been in their shoes. I don't know - but I do know one thing- A little knowledge and a little saying called "Think before you act" is certainly not fatal advice but just might be the short, sweet kind of advice that could save your life. So keep that in mind, folks. Another little thing that irked me ever so was all the text speak that was in plenty of abundance all throughout Myspace profiles left and right. i MeAn G!v3 me a BrEEak. Talking like that doesn't make you cool- it just shows me you have this mindset that "If I talk like this, my group and friends will think I'm so cool and I'll be viewed as cool!" Well I rather be viewed as the lamest ass guy on the block than ever speak like that. Don't do anything to impress. Strive for yourself and your own goals and desires. Don't be a sheep. Be a Lion. LEAD!

If you wish to break this stream of stupidity, this stream of follow, follow, follow- and talk like the sheep and ya da da- than listen up folks- because I have a little proposal to you that you just might want to consider. If you've read any of my past blogs you know the whole mantra of my blogs and the big grand "Ryusin Revolution" that I've been touting emphasizes all the good qualities like originality, leadership, and the ability to inspire, dream and all that good stuff (whatever lol) - Listen folks--> This is not my revolution. This is YOUR revolution. I'm simply just proposing an idea that you can consider. That WE band together and dare to challenge the mainstream on the blogger community with our thought-provoking, mind numbing blogs that have their own little writing style, their own little voice.

I don't know if YOU (and the Blogger community) will choose me as your leader for this idea and hell I don't even know if you like my idea- but I just don't understand how you couldn't. I mean, if your thinking to yourself how fed up you are with 'stupid' and 'text' speak has become the new 'cool' versus original thought and ideas- Well why don't ya join me! I mean, this isn't just limited to any particular age group. Through all sectors and generations- there could be a little more critical thinking that certainly should be awakened within all of us. Remember were the country that elected George W. Bush TWICE into office. I mean, if you need living proof that WE all could use a little Ryusin 'awaken your mind and be original' therapy session - look NOT ONLY to that but also to the mindless drones out there who follow the drunken, big shot celebrities out there. I'm talking to you Paris Hilton!

Let's say GOODBYE to today and HELLO to tomorrow. All ideas and inventions began as 'crazy' thoughts in one man's mind. If you were to tell folks in the 1700's that one day there would be this invention where this wiry thing would be inside this glass thing and produce light and whatever I'm sure you'd get a laugh or two. It's often the crazy ones that change the world. I'm not about inspiring a whole generation to be a bunch of loons, but rather inspiring a whole generation to be a bunch of intellectual gals and guys that can actually use their noggins and THINK for themselves.

So simple, yet it just might be the most brilliant proposal that one guy could wish for. It begins with YOU and it will end with some guy or girl on the other side of the world. Revolution's don't come easy - One's man's wish for a revolution won't always come to be but his ability to dream and dare to accomplish the impossible is part of the human soul to which no stranger can crush. You can mock me, you can laugh at me, but you'll never break my dreams. You'll never break my ability to lead my own life and be whatever I wish to be!

Well enough mush talk. I think ya get my point already. Let's get up off our asses! Wait! Scratch that! Stay on your ass. All you need to do is make a blog (or make an account on blogger) and comment and/or produce a response blog regarding your thoughts on this matter. Your thoughts matter to me, I might learn something from you.

So I look forward to reading whatever you might have to say. Thanks for reading guys. Stay classy and remember Viva La Revolution
