Trends, Change, and the World

Trends are really interesting. It's unclear who starts them. In our modern day society, everyone is content on being a conformist, just 'going with the flow' or doing what everybody else is doing.

If you stop to think about it, you really wonder how trends get started.

That's exactly what I did today. I sat there and wondered how trends got started. I came to an interesting conclusion.

You know those people that everyone calls 'weirdos?'
Yeah, those people who hang out with the other 'weirdos.'
They're 'weirdos' because they dress differently, they talk differently, they act differently than the rest of the general population.

But if nobody ever acted different, would society ever change?

If the naked crab way back in the day never decided he was tired of being cold and put on a shell, would we have the hermit crab today?

If the Quadopus back in the way never decided he was tired of having only 4 legs and grew 4 more, would there be the animal we know today as the octopus?







If some random guy there didn't decide he was going to wear the ugliest shoes in the world and not care at all what people thought about him, would we have ever been introduced to crocs?(TM)

Change in the world isn't like the mailman. It doesn't show up every day Sunday on your doorstep at 12 pm just waiting to be recieved.

Change, whether big or small is like driving to the mail office to get your mail. It requires a big bowl of idea, a half pint of motivation, and exactly a tee-spoon of pro-activeness.

Everybody aspires to do something with their lives that affects someone else's. It's the people who turn thought into action that are hoisted up, heads and shoulders above everybody else, and proclaimed heroes, saviors, messiahs, miracle people, whatever you want to call them.

Honestly, everybody in the world could do the same.
We're just all too lazy.


So quit reading this blog and get off your butt and do something to change the world.
Well I guess you could start small.
The world's a big assigment for a rookie (; .

"Somebody once asked for some change to get some has 'I need to get myself away from this place'

I said yup, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself and we could alll use a little chaaaaaaange."
