Ah, people. They're strange creatures. I've noticed that I've been watching them way more than I should; taking mental notes on their behavioral patterns, even writing some of it down occaisionally.
It can't be stalking if you're keeping track of a hundred people.
I've come up with several discoveries about the nature of people in my time as an omniscent third-party. On the outside looking in, I suppose. To my dismay, I've come into contact with a specific breed of people. They're perfectly content to be, well, stupid; totally uncaring of the fact that there's more out there than being boring and unclutured. They don't care for anything. They simply exist, knowing nothing of the rest of existence, or worse, knowing and just not caring. Ignorant. They have their myspace, their television, and their friends to goof around with, but they have no other purpose. They care only about the petty and frivolous, a beautiful caricature of modern youth. The really awful thing is that this breed composes most of my peers. Tragic.
I'm trying to come up with some way to put them into perspective, some sort of comparison or analogy, but the only way i can envision them is as follows:
Seamonkies.
They're all just a bucket of damn seamonkies. At first, to me, before I really took a look at people, they seemed interesting. Just as the package displays magnificent creatures of a whimsical nature, people, at first glance, seem decievingly meaningful. However, much to my disappointment, this is not true. As one empties the packcage into the bucket, they make the discovery that these fantastic animals are but brine shrimp. I have made this discovery much too much.
There is now king with a crown and a silly tail. There is no woman with a bra and hair. It's just tiny brine shrimp. No way to distinguish between them. Inside the package, people are the same.
However, it's always a joyous occaision when I find someone who escapes this barrier. These, ducklings, are the ones I call my friends.
And I cling to them. I cling to them every second. These children are my creative drive, along with a select few adults that break the mold.
I love you guys.
P.S. I need to start using the phrase "You know what really roasts my nuts......" more often. It sounds silly.
