Wednesday

Trip shit...

Another undated day in my life - indeterminate time, indeterminate event, indeterminate people. Coordinates of Time, Space and Action is somehow irrelevant to Life. They’re just incidental detail to be updated on a need-to-know basis. This time, in the words of a famous Somebody, I don’t need to know. Einstein, if you’re rolling in your grave, well, sonny, somebody had to tell you the Truth. It had to be me. The irony is incidental.

Anyway… it was indeterminate coordinates when I looked up and then there it was… circling in the sky like some Goddamn unaffected planet - at the same instant, Floyd was singing the favorite.

Suddenly she said, ‘That’s the thing with Floyd’. Everyone present just nodded. There was a palpable agreement in that pleasant silence.

I like these moments.

Either no one is listening or no one gives a rats ass. Either way I like it. You throw a meaty bone and the well-fed dog just sniffs and says ‘Thanks but no thanks’. The comfort is in the fact that no one cares about your feelings. I like this neglect. It’s wonderfully comforting.

Saying the Thank Yous and Spreading all that Love and Happiness, Agreement and Democracy, Ass licking, Smiling, Be Happy, Be Positive just GETS to me like a million skunks on overdrive. The problem with the world is that too many people want to agree with each other.

Lets be REAL for a while and tell people what we really think. What a wonderful thing that will be for the world. No more Stupid social gatherings with Aunties and Marriage proposals and “I just bought a new house and by the way, I’m a superstar” tête-à-tête.

Sample conversation between A & B:

A: ‘Hey there! Here's a thought - how about you never talk to me again as long as we both live? Cos the truth is, I can't stand you. ”

B: ‘Sure thing’

A & B part ways.

This is the world I want to live in.
