Where should my passions lie?

It kinda bothers me when I read other people's blogs and they're talking about politics or the environment or their latest revelation on life. I don't write like that. I think I want to. The problem is, I'd much rather sit down with four friends in front of Halo 2 with a Pepsi in hand and just chill all night and play games. Is that bad? Am I just not thinking the right way? Am I going to get to college with my 1-hour-and-15-minute-life's-work movie and get blown away by all the other students who have solid opinions on liberalism, conservationism, philosophy? My mind can go places, but I'm, maybe, too passive on such matters? I think about what counts. I can't change the direction of this country's political highway, I can't prevent forest fires, and I sure as heck can't tell someone that their take on life is wrong. Is it bad that I don't sound as intelligent as I want? Perhaps. Is it bad that I'd rather play Halo than try to figure out the difference between Republicans and Democrats? I don't think so. I just don't care. Is that bad? I don't know...maybe. But I'm not going to win over Natalie by telling her how many kills I had last night on Xbox Live. She's like an international something-or-other/Harvard graduate, and I'm not even going to have a diploma. It really does hurt when I think about it not working out between us. Is that bad? No. How can I be more intelligent when I don't care? All my energy goes to my movies. I have a stronger desire to finish WS3 than I do to finish college. I really do hate this.
