We must blend into the choir, sing as static with the whole

Sometimes you give it a hundred and ten percent and you just are not extraordinary enough. It is all good I do not need to see the president talk to validate my existence there are way more remarkable people that would talk to me in person. He is the president not because he has great ideals, not because he has empathy for the human race, and not even because he knows what he is doing. He is the president simply because he knows how to play the game. It is all a game a pathetic little rat race. Like I said I can get a much more meaningful conversation out of any person on the street especially those with nothing, they are the ones who have the power to change my life, they are the ones with the stories and experience. They are the people who can offer me the perspective I need to understand the world beyond the infrastructure, beyond the politics, beyond all the remedial shit we as Americans tend to obsess over. He is just a guy in a suit who met all the right people and did all the right things I can think of plenty of people whose thoughts on anything I would rather hear. Whose thoughts would be pivotal in my understanding of not only our country, or our world, but out existence, our future, our being, what it means to mean anything at all. I could careless about the remedial and material importance of broadband internet and I can guarantee that most of the people going to see this pre-written speech in a suit are expecting to have their minds blown or are just looking for an excuse to change their facebook status, utilizing the wonderful broadband we hear at Northern enjoy, to "20 feet from the president, I think my heart stopped lol." Ask them about his domestic and international policies, see what they say. If I want my mind blown, if I want my life changed, if I want to experience an all to soul shaking epiphany I will have a conversation with someone who is not constantly being analyzed under a microscope, someone who is not afraid of how the country will feel about their absolute honest opinions, someone who does not have someone writing and proofing every word they can say. I am going to keep on living my life and continuing what I do not to get ahead in the game, and definitely not so that I can potentially be in the same room as the president as he talks about something rather boring that I do not particularly care about, but so that I can experience all the things I want to experience, see things I care about, do things I find meaningful. Society, politics, college, they have always been a road block, and it might seem as though I am playing the game right now, but its only because I have to get far enough in so that no one notices when I quit. Good things may come to those who wait, but those who are to busy living their lives to wait around for their turn in the game find that life consists of a bit more than colored squares and arbitrary rules. These people are who I identify myself with and these people are the people I would be ecstatic to hear speak, these are the people who inspire me. This is not bitter, this is the truth, this is how I feel. I am too clever to be fooled by a speech and a fancy suit.
