this is my soliloquy I am going to give on April 13th, provided I have it mezmorized. It's mostly going to be improv though since it isn't exactly able to be said word for word or it won't make sense.

Heh...life...life is a funny thing...sometimes life plays cruel jokes on you that make you want to beat it til it's bloody and bruised. And sometimes...life can't be any better and you just want to take a picture of that moment and hold onto it and never let go. When I was younger, life was all about army men and action figures...somewhere along the way, that ideal came crashing down. A friend once told me life is like a card castle. You work hard to build it up even though any little thing can knock it over, but in the end, you succeed...then a small outside force knocks it all down. Then my friend told me, "If someone DOES knock it over, then you can apply Newton's Three Law's to their face." Heh, my friends...they've stuck by me through many, many years, and  have treated me well. They've given me advice, though I don't always listen, they've helped me when I needed it most, and greatest of all, they have given me friendship. Friendship is one of the few things in this world that does not need to be justified. Unfortunately, almost everything in the world needs to be justified somehow. "Why did you skip school?" "Because I was sick." "Why did you cheat on your test?" "Because I didn't study." Though, this does not go to say that justification is always bad, just the people who use it are bad. The founding fathers justified their actions in rebelling against an unfair motherland. In this world, without justifying our actions, we don't really go far. In fact, we go barely anywhere...what a wonderful world eh? Ambition...this could go hand in hand with justification. With justification, ambition can lead to many things both great and terrible. Course, one of the disadvantages of ambition is that is sometimes can lead to madness. Madness...what is this world without a little madness? What woud it be like? It'd be boring, dull, the usual, not even worth fighting for. Madness creates a part of life that challenges us, makes us work, fight...it makes us choose...madness makes life more interesting. Truly great madness is a wonderful thing...not that I'm mad or anything, but when someone is truly 'mad', they aren't bothered by the small things in this world that don't matter...instead, they enjoy the world for what it is, has and what they consider to be important. Whether that is a shiny rock, math or even a beaver! They only care about what they think is important, something we all should consider. What do we consider important? Would we let everything in this world get by those things we consider important? Would we cherish what is important to us? Consider this, when we no longer care about what is important, then we have lost a great battle, yet some may argue we have still won the war. What did we win? I'll tell you what we won, nothign! When we don't care about the important things in this world, we have LOST the war. Without morals, what are we more than mindless drones? FOrtunately, not everyone is careless about what is important. Those people are truly mad. After all, isn't it crazy when people actually care about the things we don't? Only the important things in life matter...hmmm...what is life? Life is...the desire, no, the struggle to get to a better place. If this is so, then what is important to us during our life? What is important in life...what is important...what is important...
