1000 years? Who wouldn't want to be remembered for 1000 years? So what if you die in your twentites. We are all going to die anyway, why not enjoy life and all the crap it gives us and run with it? But if I wasn't on this sugar rush I wouldn't be thinking about the fame but all the good that I could do. I would do everything to the extreme. Giving time, money, and other resources to thoughs who need it. And spluge a little on me. It's like the movie The Last Holiday, when the women thought she had three weeks to live, so she took all her money out of the bank and did everything she ever wanted to do. Then found out that she wass misdiagnosed. You never know what life can throw at you. Plus if I had to live a long life with let's say Hutchins disease, I would kill myself. The only thing I feel I would miss is seeing how well people turn out. But then again, some people I wouldn't miss...at all...seriously.
YEA 4 LIFE!

Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! ThunderCats, Ho!
I don't know if anyone remembers this show, but ThunderCats was DA BOMB! The show was basically about these cat-like creatures whose planet was destroyed and they moved to Third Earth, which is a futuristic Planet Earth. The fought evil while protecting a gem, the Eye of Thundera, which was embedded in the hilt of the mystic Sword of Omens. Their names were so cheesy! The leader was Lion-o, along his side was Jaga the Wise, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, and WilyKat and WilyKit, who were twin brother and sister. The villains, who always lost the battle in a twenty minute slot, were Mumm-Ra, who without fail was in every episode trying to defeat the Thundercats, The Mutants, Lanataks, Hammerheads, and so much more.
I was about three or for when I really jumped into it and i don't remember much, but I do remember I had the schedule of this show down to the second before it aired. Every school day at 4:30 I would get home, eat my snack and relaxed until 5 when ThunderCats came on. Whatever I was doing I would stop it immediately and go watch. If I was talking to a friend, "Sorry, I gotta go watch ThunderCats." I can't really say why I loved it. Maybe because my own imagination could not imagine such a thing. Talking felines with large swords saving a world. It was BIZARRE! Although there were several shows out there like ThunderCats, like Power Rangers (when is was still simple and cool), Voltron, and Jem and the Holograms, with TC I was more adventurous. With all those other shows you could guess what happened next week because most ended in "To Be Continued," but TC almost never ended like that. And to see Lion-o put his up his sword above his head and yell, "Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight!" never got old. Now, I look back and think, "Man, I was DORK!" But I wouldn't change a thing about TC, because nothing gives the same feeling as when I was watching

...All Play and No Work Makes Jack a Mere Toy
The philosiphy that I recieved from reading Siddhartha (and the passage) was something to the effect of "Our destinies are kind of planned out already, the question is are we willing to take the ride?" Little did Saddhartha know, but he was most likely suppose to be the one out of he and Govinda to live through want they both sought out (or else the book would have been title 'Govinda'). To experience it first hand and to pass ona little taste of the knowledge he gained so his listeners may have the desire to seek enlightenment for themselves.
On the other hand, Western thinking says, "My future is what I make of it." If I want to be rich, I work to be rich, if I want to be happy, I work for my happiness. No one reminds you about thoughs people who are born rich so are automatically happy. Most of us have to fight the temtation to do bad because not only will it mess upp our lives, but the lives around us. We are sinners by nature, the challenge of life is will you give into the urges? Don't let fear stop you from living. Like Siddhartha, you may have to let go of the thing you treasure the most to ind true enlughtenment.
A smile a day keeps the psychiatrist away! :)
