I've been keeping some little semi-manifesto type dealies in my notebook/journal for the last month or so; and I just decided to copy them over to my laptop, so I thought I'd pop 'em up here as I got 'em in. Let me know what you guys think...

"Something Important"
I've always wanted to write something important, but I finally see that I've been looking at it wrong. Much of the writings that are timelessly remembered are just that-- timeless. They focus on emotions, on feelings; on love, on life, on loss, on pain. On the things that, no matter how much the world changes, never will change. The things that will always be here. I used to think that, for a work to be remembered, it had to have some kind of grand theme. Something important like politics, or war, or social commentary, or some great event. I finally see that, behind all of those things, there still beats the same drum that is behind everything else-- Passion. Passion for love, for life, for freedom, for free-thought. If you're not passionate about it, then what use does the future have to remember it?
