Ants Running

Tick, tock, says the clock. And yet, here I sit, not wanting to go. I have realized (actually I realized this today as I was waiting for a scene change) that time really is nonexistent. We have, over the last 100 years, increased our life spans to twice what it was, and yet we are still just like little ants, running around with no where to go, trying to get things finished. We have our 24 hours days, and even that isn't solid, as proven by Friday, the 29th, of this month, an extra day for the extra minutes that add up over four years. Anyhow, that's my deep thought for tonight.

Today, like I mentioned earlier, I was taking part in a play. Actually, the musical, Crazy for You, being put on by my school. It was a matinee for elementary/ middle schoolers. I remember as a kid, I loved watching the older kids in the plays. I was so fascinated by every single character, and I wished that I could be up there. Now, finally, after three years of doing behind the scene things such as set construction, makeup, and last year's stage crew, I am now one of the actors. Theatre has become part of who I am, and although I will be going on to bigger things than high school shows in college, I will miss these days. I hope that everyone, those who read this, and even those who don't, can take what time they do have, and make the most of it. I hope that somehow we can find where we are going, and make memories along the way, and not end up like ants running without a purpose.
