These are all the people and characters that have influenced me to live the way I do, and a lot of them my personality is actually based upon. I'm not saying this to show how cultured or credible I am but rather as a silent tribute to all of these figures that I find respect for, particularily to Bill Hicks, Nick Drake, Hunter S. Thompson, Joe Merrick & Jim Morrison who are probably the most inspiration 5 on that list who happened to be actual people, confined now only to the past tense.

To all those cringing thinking that I'm trying to make my sound individual or interesting dont worry, I know the idea that we are all "acting" and that we are all sensitive souls inside is often the cry of the hormonal 16 year old, but I believe its one of those things in all of us that goes without saying, forgetting of course those too ignorant to try and get along with others.

 The reason I bring it up because I was thinking today about the lives we live, I've come to the following conclusion. On paper the best kind of life to live is to extend a legacy that extends as long as possible to generations after you existing only as a memory, even if the thing your remembered for is bad because when we are talking about human kind as a species through all the hundreds of thousands of years mankind has existed, nothing any human has ever done has been particuarily disastrous in the grand scheme of things.

 Whatever it means, I rather think despite legacy mattering to nearly everyone else. just living your life is a testament to your own life, regardless of the way you live it. its what you experience, not what others already have. It bothers me sometimes thinking about the Millions of lives that have happened and finished of all the humans before us that are forgotten forever and not in history. but despite theyre being no direct history of them they did experiance life as fully as any of us.

 

I suppose its all about perspective, do you live in the moment or do you ever seek out the future ambitously, both are considered the philosophys of characters that many people follow, so pherhaps I'm not so silly to be influenced by a character. The perspectives themselves are constantly evolving, now that we have the luxuries we have more time to think. In the time of Seth Bullock people didnt have time to debate philosophy. they were too busy living life to look in at thier own lives from an outside perspective.

                 All I know is, Im Hungover, Tired, Headachy, Hungry & Scared about dieing of old age,

 even if I do have a legacy to leave behind, And I certainly do not at the moment.
