In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:
I look around me and see thousands of students lavishing on food, clothes and quite a few unnneccesary things. Well I do find my self in that crowd too.. I want to be different.. To rise up and beyond.. See through the meaninglessness around me.. I don’t need some course by some spiritual person to tell me how I need to change myself.. or maybe I do.. Why do I blame fate for my inabilities.. Am I that weak that I can *n’t do what other do.. Every day I hear of people who do extraordinary things and I can *n’t even reduce my wasteful expenses to help out some1. Maybe I should spend sometime in an orphange. That’ll atleast make me realise that I too can be an asset or maybe I need a much more powerful jolt to wake me up. Thinking and dreaming never get you anywhere. All they do is show you a path. Walk it or leave it. Hope I have the guts to take that path…
