The Cycle

Sex, drugs, rock and roll
speed, weed, birth control
f*** the panties, buy a thong
party hard all night long
grab a tequilla
take a shot
f*** the guy you think is hot
life's a b****
and then you die
so f*** this world
and let's get high

I thought about this phrase a lot and first off it's upragraded a lot since it was just sex, drugs, rock and roll
But, I decided that I didn't complete disagree with this saying
Although I know that this is no right way to think about things...I must say that it makes a lot of sense to me.
The world today has a lot to do with sex, drugs, music, and having fun.
The average person doesn't usually live past 85 and are lucky to make it that long.
If you go to college, you generally want get out of school until your 20's and then to get a job and support yourself.
Of course people want families and careers, but a lot of the population doesn't feel this way.
When you've been partying all your life and you have to end it, most people would decide not to....end it that is.
Honestly if you think about it, having fun shooting the breeze all your life...or working hard every day trying to make a difference in the world. I was listening to a song called The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance when I was listening to this. The lyrics talk about dying, and what's going to happen when your gone. It makes you question whether or not you're going to make a difference and be remembered. (The lyrics are below)

My Chemical Romance Welcome To The Black Parade Lyrics

When I was
A young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.

He said,
"Son when you grow up
Will you be the saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"

He said
"Will you defeat them,
your demons, and all the non believers,
the plans that they have made?"

Because one day I'll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade."

When I was a young boy,
My father
took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said, "Son when you grow up
Would you be the saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"

Sometimes I get the feeling
She's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go.

Through it all,
The rise and fall,
The bodies in the streets.
And when you're gone we want you all to know

We'll Carry on,
We'll Carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on

And in my heart I cant contain it
The anthem wont explain it.

A world that sends you reeling
From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all

So paint it black
And take it back
Lets shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call
[Welcome To The Black Parade lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]


To carry on
We'll carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
You're weary widow marches

And on we carry through the fears
Ooh oh ohhhh
Disappointed faces of your peers
Ooh oh ohhhh
Take a look at me
Cause I could not care at
All

Do or die
You'll never make me
Because the world,
Will never take my heart
Go and try,
You'll never break me
We want it all,
We want to play this part

I won't explain
Or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer
For all the broken
Listen here
Because it's who we are


I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero
I
don't
care

We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
You're memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on

We'll carry on

But let's face it. Not every one of us can be an Oprah. Sure celebrities are remembred, but what did they do for the world that was so great? They didn't save lives like doctors did or stop crime. They didn't teach. Why are they so famous and why are they remembered? There is a cycle to life. School+College=Career, Career+"That special someone"=Marriage Marriage leads to family. Then you get old and die. I don't mean for this to be disappointing and a put down to the world, because when I grow up, I will most likely follow this cycle. But why not have no cycle instead? Why not live the unexpected life?

Not all surprises are bad....
