Y'know, I sit at home and watch movies like "Talk To Me," that's set when Martin Luther King was assassinated, or "Watchmen" that was set during the Vietnam War and I think that I was born in the wrong era. Like Brad Pitt says in Fight Club, "We're the middle children of history... ...No great war..." I want to fight for a great cause.

Well, really, it's a stupid idea. There's not really a lot to fight for. Nothing really seems important to me right now. There's the riots going on in Egypt, there's the man who set himself on fire in Tunsia protesting bleak prospects of its citizens...

This just came across as a thought - I don't know why I'm posting this... But there's the desire there - the desire to be a part of something great, to take a stand for what I think is right. To be... active, for lack of a better word. Right now all I can do is to sit down, drink my whiskey, smoke my smokes and watch riots in the streets over something that happened afore I was born.

Should I take an interest in History, then? Should I try and get into Political Science next semester? What is there to fight for, let alone something that a struggling student could achieve?
