   Sometimes i would feel it is so much harder to live your life if you are so much conscious of the things around you. I think the word is lucid, to be conscious of the way you think, behave and speak. I am not saying most people are not conscious of this but just rather insensitive of their own lives. They perform their lives in the most perfunctory, most monotonous manner, like i like how the way Aldous Huxley would distribute people in their own caste and make them specialise in a certain task which is often most simple; eg John's mum Linda was a Beta-minus who did simple menial work at the fertilizing room. The difference being the people are not being conditioned to like their work no matter how mundane unlike Huxley's utopia. 

  Ok maybe i was a little too ambiguous, what im saying is maybe what most people need in their life is a little dose of difference, do something out of this world to break this monotony. Its the reason why most people drink, or take drugs. It gives them a temporal alternate reality for modern living is painful. Like just the other day i was reading about how a certain subculture of really rich people who just wanted to get away from all the obligations for one night. They would dress as filthy beggars and homeless folks, just wander the streets at night. An evening of escape, they would even stuff half eaten food from days ago into their coats to repel any attackers or robbers because the smell would have been so bad. It is that when you are truly down you are free. 

  So come on, do not make your life so boring, tell me your story, your double life as a tramp, your own little adventures as a peeping tom. What about the drug addiction of yours, secretly transvestite or gay? haha, ok i think this really lacks any from of moral or religious bearing, i mean why go through doing all these fucked up things when you can always just take a vacation or pick up a new healthy hobby.
