Empire.

I realize life isn't always about having the nicest cars, houses, popularity, but it is really about experiences and people. I guarantee when you are on your death bed one day, you will not think once about things of this world.

And with that, it leaves me wondering, if I am not going to remember these things, certainly people will not remember them about me either. I think the things will stick our most are who was always there when no one else was, or who always never brought people down, but always lifted them up.

Too tie this thing down, I don't we should make our Empires on earth, but I think we should make them in our and others hearts.

I think Fight Club said it best:
"I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War is a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."

I leave you with a song. Follow this link: http://www.last.fm/music/As+Cities+Burn/_/Empire
