The rest of that last one

Somtimes people just get into slumps, it's human nature. Yet here in the great state of America it seems that we live in a continual slump. As a collective we don't ever overcome our slumps, but instead we move from one slump to another believing that we are redeeming ourselves only to sucomb to the realization that we are meerly experiencing the unfamiliar aspects of a slightly different slump that is not all that different from the previous.

I wonder at times why we do this? But should I ? That could be a total waste of brain power, which oddly enough is the only type of power that is used to little

It's interesting to note that the most brilliant people in our society only use 20% of their brains doesn't leave much hope for the average joe. Is it so hard to use our brains? Apparently so!

Maybe if we all worked together we could come up with something amazing that would be an answer to the needs of millions. If just a small group could pool thier collective knowledge and experience into a single project can you imagine the applications of such an endeavor? I can! Believe it or not you have seen the results this very thing, and it can be summed up in one famously hyphenated trademark... Coca-Cola

Yes that's right, when the best thinkers get together and work towards a common goal they design commercials with songs of inspiration so powerful that they could only be used to sell carbonated beverages .

Often I think that I could easily write catchy jingles like that but everytime I try to write something I end up hearing what I already know, only this time it sounds slightly different in a way that makes it sound better. So now my favorite song is new again and still my favorite! wierd.

It can all get pretty depressing if you ask me. The fact that commercials motivate us to set aside our differences, ignore sterio types, join together accross the world and enjoy the taste of life. Now I can look forward to drinking my favorite soda because it's in a different package now, or they just came out with a new flavor, maybe it's just a new catchy song. It's the same great taste with a new twist.

When you think about it, it's really not so bad. Here in this state of mind that is always becomeing something new and the same there is comfort. Change without change.
So fear not average joe, there is hope!
Next time your feeling down and out keep this in your mind; your next up is just a vanilla/lime/cherry/diet/sugarfree/lemony-twist away!
You will always have a new slump thats still the same to look forward too. Nobody can take that away from you.
