Trouble in Paradise
I want to go to the Island. Me and my wife watched the movie The Island last night. There was an underground facility of clones, they were insurance policies for people who could afford them in the outside world. They educated them to the level of a 15 year old and kept them under control by a false sense of containment. There was an elaborate story where these people were survivors from a world catastrophe and they were kept in this facilty because they were "contaminated." They worked and learned in the facility and the only hope they had were to win the lottery and get to the island. The truth in the matter was the people who won the lottery and went to the island, were actually just moved up to the hospital above the facility, put under anesthesia, and used for their body parts or to carry a baby for the people they were cloned from.
Lately I feel like I am just going through a routine and keeping myself in the dark, waiting to go to the island. I go to work, come home and eat dinner while watching television, which I loathe, and the I play World of Warcraft and go to bed. I like my job, but mostly for the money and the benefits that it provides me and my family, but I dont get a true enjoyment out of it. The real problem is I dont know what job I would get enjoyment out of. I would like to write, but I dont feel that I am adequate enough, I would like to do programming or work on computer hardware, but I dont feel adequate enough. And when I am in school I get excited and work really hard for the first couple of weeks and then I become distant, lose my passion, and end up dropping the class.
I feel like part of myself is saying I am contaminated and that I am not adequate enough an that I shouldn't have any passion because its better to just wait for my turn to go to the island. Maybe my body parts would work differently and better benefit someone else. Or would they carry over my current metal contamination?
