Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you didn’t have to have money to survive? (Guess that comment doesn’t apply to people who were destined to be rich because of being born, sorry Paris, that means you.) I do, I think about it alot. I often also remember the line from Office Space at about the same time. The part where its voiced “he’s broke and he don’t do shit”. Man, thats more and more appealing than it ever was before. I think its just a little wierdness for me right now. I am not sure what happened, but ever since I thanksgiving, I have just been in a wierd funk. I have lost all motivation and ambition. I just want to get a boat, and cast off the bindings of society. Maybe its just that I am stuck in a position that the disillusionment with society keeps growing, or maybe its that I can’t stand how fake everything is. I mean, the woman on the news in the morning, reading from a teleprompter, (any anchor doesn’t matter who), does she know what she is saying? Its all clever posturing, and pretty faces, presenting what someone decided was news. Is that right? Is that what life actually is? Is it so important to put on a facade? Why is it that the news organizations tell the world all the things that the government decides we should be afraid of, and tries to sugar coat it? Why does someone in Wyoming need to worry about a terrorist attack? And, do I need to know how scared they should be? Should that change my day? Week? Life?
And, to continue Ranting, have you ever thought about mass scale brainwashing? I was always raised to believe that certain organizations were intrinsically bad, because they “brainwash” people. What does that mean? Is that really just converting someone to believe what you believe? If it is, then, isn’t public education brainwashing? How about religion? And, I would also bet that government is nothing more than the act of setting doctrine to wash brains with. Is life so scary that we shouldn’t be able to see it? Maybe we do need to see the horror to appreciate its beauty.
