Things Weren’t The Same Last Year
Now
for an amusing story. In the hilarious comedy 30 Rock there was a scene were Tracy Jordan was in
central park swinging a plastic light saber in his underwear screaming I am a
Jedi when a group of hipsters started
to walk up to him. The hipsters started to analyze the situation by
saying he was re-appropriating his bad past behavior (he did this Jedi thing
on the first episode of 30 Rock) by commenting on FitzGerald Dictum. The
hipsters then proceeded to take pictures of it with their old fashioned
cameras. When I watched scene I started to remember and learn from my decent
past behavior and realize that things weren’t the same last year.

I learned that time is constantly moving forward and life is always moving on. There is no looking back; the things past are actually past. There are no second actions. I can never retype what I have just typed, but why would I want to if the future is in front of me. How could I live in the moment if moments are flying past me as I type? Look there goes another one. I remember watching the Avatar and no, not the good movie and no, not the bad movie, the television show on Nick. In one episode of the show, the Avatar was talking to a giant tree spirit in the swamp. The big tree spirit told avatar that time is an illusion. This might actually be true, if we can never repeat any action exactly the same. The author of the Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote that there are no second acts in American life. This basically means that life doesn’t get better than what it is and if it does it never lasts for long. This basically relates to almost anyone’s child hood or any ones past. Childhood is a time glee, a time when you are unaware about the world. As one gets older, one starts to gain more knowledge and start realizing more about the world that surrounds one. Childhood a time for happiness, innocence and memories clearly supports this dictum and the quote “ignorance is bliss“because the majority can say they had a happy innocent childhood. Sadly some evidence supports that this is true and we can never go back to that. Actually we can never go back to anything; everything in this world is changing around us. After watching this scene I was able to conclude that can that things weren’t the same last year and never will be.

Life always moved on. I've learned that you have to move with it to survive. This is a really good lesson that everyone should learn.
