To fade away...

Hello my fellow followers, (all one of you at the moment),

Am I suffering secondblogitis (pronounced: second-blog-itis or seck-conned-blo-gi-tis)? Well the answer to you is YES! That's right - yes you are right in the fact that I am NOT infact suffering this all too tragic disease. Instead I have many a topic to discuss with you all....but rather I will not discuss any of those topics but instead will attempt to disect this age old question: Is it worse to burn out or to fade away?

Well...is it? The answer is yes to that topic, and I hope that I have really given you something to ponder....I think I've covered all that I need to cover on that subject...hmmm...what next...?

So I've just turned 23 in the past week and to many this is a young age, to others it will seem an eternity until they reach this age themselves...to fewer still, this age is the metaphorical "leather couch of aging" they have made an arse groove in for the past few days or months or leading up to almost a year. 22 came and went and what do I have to show for it?

Exhaustion.

That's right, exhaustion everbody (pronounced: exhaustion, or EX-haus-TION, depending on whether you have a nervous tick and a bout of turrets or not...or perhaps a strong ignorance of the english language...or a strong advocate that emphasis on syllables are ambiguous by nature...whatever you may be...)

This exhaustion is brought about by a severe lack of sleep, a severe lack of stimulation in the brain...umm...area? that perhaps should have been stimulated through a thing known as "university" (pronounced: just-figure-out-how-to-say-it-out-loud-for-yourselves-damnit) to which I attend Griffith.

Griffith's answer to the question: Is it worse to burn out or to fade away?, is quickly addressed with the answer coming back: "both are good options, but we will make sure we prepare you insufficiently for making this decision, then send you on your way after charging you hundreds of dollars for a parking permit to a carpark that will inevitably be full, and ripping you off when you want some free sauce to go with your hot chips, which will cost you 30 cents a pop, and a part of your soul. Amount to nothing, go nowhere. Just don't do it. Griffith*."

So they would argue it's good to choose at least one of the two (burning out or fading away) just as long as it doesn't mean they lose any money, and as long as you fail excruciatingly at everything.

I am also exhausted from a lack of money, and a failure at making something of my life (hence my taking up writing blogs). Therefore I conclude this blog with the answer to the question: " is it better to fade away or burn out?", saying it doesn't matter how you end up going, it only matters that you made something of yourself to begin with.

*Griffith has never formally stated this, this is just a form of hyperbole...Griffith, please do not seek emolument from me, for you have robbed me of most of my money already and have none left.
