got to catch a plane but won't buy a ticket

like the backstreet boys says in one of their songs on their new album (now in stores, people!!)....it's a weird world, don't you know it?i grew obsessed with the song a few days ago and have been listening to it since... it just grew on me and of course, i did a lot of thinking with this song.+ do you realize that not everyone that smiles at you likes you for who you are? too bad hypocrisy doesn't have a scent that we could pick up from. + years ago, the pride of america was everywhere. people brought themselves to contribute to their country. men signed up to war to protect their country and their people. women became nurses to help injured soldiers. what happened to us today? i don't know anybody who volunteered to go to war in Iraq. All I see are people who refuse to drink from cups at the cafeteria (because it's not entirely clean) and instead, drink from paper cups. there are people in Africa who would kill for a cup of water.According to ONE campaign and Brad Pitt (during his interview on Primetime), US is the most wealthy country in the world, yet, we're contributing the least to help Africa and poverty. that makes me sick.+ it's raining today. People say that when it rains, it means God is crying. As I watch out the window and see puddles of rain form on the cement, I wonder what he's upset about right now. If that's true, I would sure like to know.+ they say that nobody's perfect and there's no such thing as perfect. who the hell came up with that word if it doesn't exist?+ There are such religions that say that deafness is a punishment for our doings in a past life. If I'm deaf and I'm living rather a marvelous life, what does that say about punishment? + It's such pressure and really annoying to have to put yourself out there to get recognized. I've seen people agree that the quiet-and-gets-overlooked people are really great people that are being missed out on. Why do they STILL get overlooked? It's not like they're SO hard to notice like being a wallflower at a party and their shirt is the same print as the wallpaper that's behind them.it's a weird world, alright.
