A post by Raemius.

Overpopulation is going to be a serious problem in the future. You will see resource wars, as they’ve already begun. The other thing Raemius brings up is the possibility of cannibalism. Unfortunately, it has happened many times in history during famines.

Anyways, I’d rather you read his piece so I won’t say anything more.

I always do tags, but usually don’t tag anyone specifically.  This time, Xmichra tagged me.  I actually like this tag.

Somewhere in a faraway bloggiverse on an island with a palm tree swaying in the breeze, a message bottle sits side by side with a Pina Colada and a cute little striped umbrella horizontally tilted in the beachy sand.
Did YOUR bottle make it to land? Have you checked lately?

There are now 285 bottles floating in the bloggy ocean just waiting to be mysteriously delivered to a tropical island near you. It’s time you added yours!

Here are the rules:
You are about to send a virtual Message In a Bottle across the Blog Ocean.
Leave a message in the sand or on the bottle. Write anything you wish. Be a pirate or a poet. Serious or silly. Rant or ruminate.
Anonymous or not.
What message would you like to send out to the universe?

OK, here’s mine:
Do you remember that song in the mid-90s by TLC called “Waterfalls?” It went something like:
“Don’t go chasing waterfalls,
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.”

I liked the song, but completely disagreed with it. I’ve always believed to leave your element, to chase waterfalls, and try to catch the rainbow. If you don’t, in your old age, you will die with regrets.

I am a hopeless romantic and I have no problem saying it. I believe in chasing your dreams. I think the song I really liked was from the 20s and there were two lines that said “if you don’t have a dream, how are you gonna make your dreams come true?”

Exactly. You got to chase your dreams.

Now, I was making fun of world peace in an earlier post, but that’s not a dream, that’s an absurdity. NOBODY can accomplish that. You might as well try to move Mt. Everest with a shovel. I’m talking about doing what you REALLY want to do in life, not what your parents, your minister, your brother, your sister, your drunk uncle, or your worst enemy wants you to do.

I hear parents all the time tell their children which college they have to go to, which major they have to major in, etc. That’s stupid. You get one shot at being you and you should make the choices, not your parents. Not someone else, period.

If you don’t, you will die with regrets. It’s as simple as that. You are better off giving it an honest shot and failing than wondering what if.

Anyone who wants to take this tag, feel free. Just let me know you took it and I’ll drop by.
