protip: being socially aware doesn’t get you laid
protip: being socially aware doesn’t get you laid
numb themselves. numb their hearing, their sight, their mind. with drugs, lights, sounds, and sex. i want to say it makes me sad but then that’ll just make me sound like an arrogant douche. sometimes we think so narrow and sometimes we think so wide. i hope this is all normal.
1. 1980’s limo with trunk open speeding through red lights
2. five squad cars surrounding a yaris in a home depot parking lot
3. a dead dog
4. taco bell delivery worker yelling at each other in the middle of the intersection
5. some weird black thing that kept running along my car for about a minute
i will be downloading 5 movies. fuck with me again, hollywood, fuck with me again.
or, why i’m not a good writer: i don’t know how to make sad things funny.
if someone wanted you dead, it is possible. i did not grasp the full concept of this until i’ve been shot at and ran over bombs. day in and day out i’m thankful — regardless of what our system of governance is — that in this country such savagery is contained to a mitigatable level by means of capitalism. enough, even, to allow people to be fat, lazy, and stupid.
be thankful everyday that you live in a country with the fat, lazy, and stupid. by brave enough to defend that.
when you go toe to toe with people who do it for their love of their cause, you may never win. no matter the arsenal, no matter the costs, no matter the odds.
you can see this in the eyes of those that have not a single thing to their name, lost and bewildered in the deserts lands with only the mumblings of religion to push them. they do it not for the land or their countrymen, they do it because they have decided a country half a world away is the enemy of god.
you can hear this in the voices of those that spend their free time building up products and companies. most emblematic within the warez and piracy groups that haunt the specters of the entertainment industries. kids in the scene with the idealism to believe what it is they’re doing has meaning.
you can either work against them or live with them. learning to do either is what i have decided is my life.
