The Daily Pink!: August 3rd, 2010

Good Morning! I am pumped this morning!

I don't know why, but this morning my brain is working on overdrive. I have all this inspiration to write, and I don't know why. I think it may have been because I was reading a lot of essays before I went to sleep last night. I love the "Twentysomething essays by Twentysomethings" book. I hope to be in it someday (if they decide to gather a new bunch).

Anyway, it got me to thinking... am I special? Harharhar, insert cheesy "Special Ed" joke here. But really? Am I MORE special than the person next to me? Do I have more potential, or strife than the person down the block? I suppose not. But there are only a few people that can fit in those spots; not everyone can be a true leader, or revolutionary. Is that where I fit? Can that be learned? Can that be helped?

I want to know if I was meant to change people. Do I have the potential to change people outside of my circle of family and close friends? I know that I have played a role in their lives, as they have mine. But is it possible that I can someday walk into a room, and tweak the perception of a certain topic in those people's minds? Can I be that person you want to know more about?

I am thinking of trying an experiment. I am going to take a month off from TV (other than the news!), Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. I am going to see how productive I am, if any at all. I can read books, watch the news, read articles/blogs online, check email, chat, and blog. I'm hoping this will help me to getThat's it! This will be a good prep for school, anyway.

I'm not sure when i'm going to start this. Maybe soon, maybe next week. I don't know. It's a huge thing for me, because I am connected 24/7! We'll see, we'll see.

Hope everyone has a great day =)
