Dusting Down The Stars

I'm supposed to be doing homework, but i've ended up listening to the same song for most of the night. Most of you have probably heard it, or at least heard of the band. The song is called Dusting Down The Stars, and it's by Mobile. The first time I heard this song was quite a few months ago when the video for it premiered on muchmusic. I never really payed attention to it, but I knew it was there. Then when I began to get all of my music from my big computer to laptop I realized it was the one song by Mobile that I hadn't downloaded yet. Something had changed about the song though. I can't put my finger on it, but when I listen to it now, it gives me this weird notion in the pit of my stomach. I'm not too sure why, but it's the same thing that used to happen when I had some sort of realization or reached a turning point in my life.

I don't know what I could be feeling right now, but it's something that makes me want to leave Ancaster, and just never come back. This song makes seems to urge me to leave everyone I know and just go out into the vastness of earth and see what i'm missing. I know i've posted blogs like this before and everytime I say that these feelings are different, but honestly I wouldn't keep writing about them if think there was a reason for it. I said in a previous post that i've been reading the novel Into The Wild , a tale about someone who kind of felt the same way I do. Although his intentions for leaving his friends and family are different than mine, I see a resemblance in myself to the main character Chris McCandless. McCandless, unlike me, was a pretty popular guy during his highschool and university years. He did tons of extra-curricular activities and was known by almost everyone. When most people hear his tale they almost don't believe that someone with his talents would have wasted them on such a stupid dream and actually go and live in the Alaskan bush. Those people are morons. Dreamers are some of the best people in this world. When someone tells me that they think that no one out there understands what they go through and how they want to be somewhere else doing something meaningful, I feel like slapping them as hard as I can. It pisses me off to think that someone can be so conceited as to belive that they're so special that they deserve help and attention. Stop it fucking feeling like shit and actually make your dreams come true. It's great you don't wanna be here, now stop telling me about it and actually do it!! So many people make the claim that they wanna change and become better people, yet 5 minutes later I hear them whining about their problems again.

It's funny though, most teenagers are usually whining about relationship stuff, and i'll admit i've done my fair shair if it as well, but it's not fucking worth it. Constantly it's, "I like this person, this person and this person." Question:
If you like said person then why don't you talk to them?!?! I've heard people tell me they like 5 different people but have actually never talked to said people. How the hell do you do that? I can't understand that concept. If you like someone, at least make the bloody effort to try and talk to them. If you can't even do that, then I think that you don't deserve to be with anyone. How can someone feel a connection to another person without even talking to them just once? Can someone explain that to me, because i'm dying to know. FUCK!!!! This is just pointless people. You wanna know you what really has to be done, because believe me i'm dying to tell you. Eliminate almost everything your judging these people on and do what your heart wants. I know, sounds corny, but if you can't do that, you don't deserve to say you like someone.

You know, some people are shy, not to mention just because you have a crush on someone doesn't mean you have to "go for it". What is this incessant need for every teenager to be in a relationship. And what did we learn from the Great Gatsby? Sometimes the illusion is better than the real thing...
