Obi-Wan Kenobi once said: "Your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them." Seems to be getting harder distinguishing reality from the illusions that people make for us OR from the ones that we make for ourselves... I don't know, maybe that's part of the plan. To make me think I'm crazy...It's working.

I haven't been able to post any blogs lately, and I apologize. I spent a mini vacation out in the Grandfather Mountains with my grandmother, aunt, and baby cousin who were visiting. The internet in the hotel didn't work half of the time and I never really had the time to post anything, since my mom doesn't like it when I'm always on my phone and computer, or anything electronic for that matter.
I had fun for the most part, I went to stand on one of the two peaks of Grandfather Mountain, walk across a rickety, metal bridge a mile high from the ground, go to a mystery museum, and eat at small, yet comfortable breakfast restaurant out of many since it was so close to a college campus. Overall I had a fun mini weekend, and I wans't all too behind on school work, which was good, I guess.
Over the past few days I have been thinking, about the men in our generation. Well, really, I shouldn't call most of them men. More like ignorant, boys who all seem to be stuck in freshman gear. I have met men in my generation, good willed, respectable, hard working men. I have noticed something about the real men of my generation. They are successful, determined, trustworthy, and hard working. And guess what all of those men do? They give their respect. To everyone, women especially. I look around at the guys who walk around my city, the school I go to, the ones who represent other schools, and quite frankly I am disappointed. Most of them talk about nothing but sex, and I'm not saying I don't, but not as much as I see others do. I was taught that most stories I hear from the guys I hear about them having sex are mostly false, and I have some to find that as somewhat true. We have guys hitting girls, disrespecting them, playing mind tricks with them, and just plain messing them up in the head. Why? For pussy. Really? There is plenty of vagina out there for anyone, why ruin the ones that really matter? Sex can mentally ruin people, I have seen it. I know people who were mentally opposed to the same things as I am, and once they had sex, it was like their mental mind frame took a complete 180 degrees, and now they are worse than what I had expected them to be. So my message is this: Guys of our generation, what happened to love? What happened to compassion? Where did your heart go? What happened to being kind and friendly to women? Sure, it may not work all the time, but it gets you to places better than worrying about if you're a father or not, or catching something from someone you were with, "just because?" Really, you need to step up, become a real man. Someone who cares. Someone who can offer the world. Someone who can show the world that we are not as bad we have made out to be. Someone had to say it.
So what is your opinion? Do you think that the men in our generation are messed up? Do you think they could be better? Is there any worse they can get? Is there any hope for the men of our generation? I would love to see your opinions on this.
That's really I have to say about that. Again, I am sorry I haven't posted in a while, and I will start posting daily again, starting tonight.
Until tomorrow, Isaac.
