Just some basics

Posted on May 2nd, 2008 by Shreyan : Quantum Fool Shreyan

So...I guess this is an online journal.

Alright.

Who do I write it to?

How about, to me?

Alright.

Well, lets start at the beginning. I live in a big house. My dad drives a Mercedes. Of course, I'm the son of immigrants (and am technically an immigrant myself). We weren't always upper middle class, but we sure as hell are now!

Which is pretty weird. Unlike some of the "rich kids" I know, I never grew up with a feeling of economic entitlement. So I suppose I'm just lucky to be born into this excellent family. Which makes me question the fairness of the world.
My college is being paid for by my parents.

On the other hand, many people die before they reach my age. Many people have to work immediately, because they cannot afford college. Forget college- there are parts of the world where literacy rates are lower than anything I can imagine, where clean water is not available, where you could be killed by Janjaweed militias or Shiite gangs or your own government...

But lets not think about that. Lets return to our enclosed life. Back to my nice house in America...lets not think about it....yet....

One step at a time.
