What to write about?

I have been away from this for some time now, but only because I have nothing to write about. This banana has no thoughts besides "job" and "how do I get one". I know I am one of thousands reciting these words in their head everyday. These words rush to the surface before my eyes are even fully open each morning (or afternoon) and they continue to swim around my brain like goldfish in a tiny round fishbowl. I wonder if those bubble-eyed fish are as aware as I am to how trapped the two of us are. Can they understand that their is a world beyond there tank, despite how distorted it must look through bent glass? Because sometimes I forget there is a world beyond this and maybe that is what angers me the most. I am so consumed with my fishbowl life that I often forget how wondrous and big the world I live in actually is. I feel I have no options when only months ago I thought I could do anything, go anywhere and become anyone. I find myself in an economy that is in an ongoing recession of choice and I am feeling the walls closing in around me.

I've always thought of a fish as such a useless pet and now I find myself in the fish's predicament, but my feelings about them haven't changed. As long as they are behind a glass wall, I will always see them as unnecessary and sad. So where does that leave me?
