I'm attempting to write my collage essay, but keep vering off topic to politics and religion, which is bad because I'm writting for my state collages.

Maybe I should just pick a diffrent book, since Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers isn't working. But I don't know which, since I don't really have a book that has profoundly effected me. I don't have any crap that people ask if they want to know about, since I'm just a boring and somewhat lazy person with a poor memory for faces and events.

So, no hero, no person, no nothing. Just random stuff I pick up as I treck though life, like my rage that there's a dollar amount to a life, that the Southern-Baptist Church on Portersville Road breeds stupdity and religious intolerence, that there really should be a gender nuetral pronoun for English, that humans are species centric, and other things.

Bleh. This sucks.

i just finished Stiff two weeks ago. such a great book. i had the same problem with my college essay. i wish i could remember what i pulled out of my ass. it wasn't until i got to college that i was exsposed to anyone i "looked up to", but i still don't consider them my hereos (humns are too faliable for me to have illusions of greatness) but same problem no heros no life defining moments. i mean i've had lots of crazy moments, but not college essay material. i dunno i think you should stick with politics and religion. they're more looking for good writing skills and passion. being passionate about something, anything really is the key. when i had my interview at hampshire i told them i was really into the history of tea. i made tea sound like the most interesting thing ever. without feeling excited about something you're dead in the water.....

I was going from the template ideas, but now I have a much better idea: History, and why it's important.
