I'm bored, seriously bored, and not in the fun 'nothing to do bored.' I'm bored with school. Sure I'm learning some cool stuff, and sure it beats work, and sure I'm getting to know a few people a little better, but I'm still bored. Like the song says, I think I'm just going through the motions. It's only in those moments of utter aloneness and solitude, perhaps lucidity if it can be called that, that I become aware of how empty life really is. I know, as much as anyone can know anything, that there is something special planned for me, but I know that it sure as hell isn't now. As Socrates and C.S. Lewis have both said, this world is but a shadow of the real, and those who can see the real one, or at least catch a hint of it can truly understand how pointless the shadows really are. Until that fateful day when I can walk out of the cave and open my eyes, I shall continue going through the motions of existence. Not that I won't be able to enjoy moments here and there, but honestly, who would rightfully choose a lifetime of Pong over a lifetime of say, a Gamecube or Playstation?
