I don't care for the world most people live in. I don't care that their goddamn car can call their friends while they're driving; I don't care what famous people are doing; I don't care that anyone's going on vacations or living lavishly or trying to get back to their roots by eating frozen vegetables or whatever the hell people are doing. I don't give a damn about any of it. There's too much bull**** everywhere; too much of everything all the time. People are way too connected, too distracted, too ****ed up beyond our wildest dreams - I don't think any of us would have imagined people would be so ****ed up right now.
There are so few people I can relate to, even to the smallest extent. They're all wrapped up in a world of their own, though essentially the majority seems to live in the same world that I have always felt outside of. I am beside myself; I am beside much of the world. I'm 25 going on 70 and I don't know how to feel about that at all.
I don't like that people treat me differently because of how I look, that people just ... gaze at my hair or any other one of my features; to me it's all normal, like, damn, all the girls grew their hair like mine in a time I feel more closely connected to.... all the girls collected records, used the word 'groovy' on a daily basis, and so on and so forth (I can't think straight but every aspect of my personality is somehow alien to most people).
I'm so ****ing uncomfortable all the time because this world has nothing to offer me anymore. My heart is well taken care of; I remain deeply in love, but that is really one of the only virtues of my life. My job is incredible; I work hard every day for ... well, .... when it all boils down to it, we're all working for some ideal life that we're chasing in vain because death will put a stop to it all eventually. Why do we even bother; everyone wants to be rich or be known, to be someone.
I just want to transport myself to my past life.
Or to figure out a way to be somehow closer to my "natural habitat" ... whatever that means, I'll know it when I've created it or seen it somehow.

I kinda feel the same in a lot of ways (not about being stuck in the seventies though), but in the last few years I've decided I don't really care about all that I don't care about. I take my cue from the Joker. Rather than rail against and bitch about a world that pisses me off, I'd rather just sit back and watch it all happen, for better or worse, while indulging in indifferent amusement.
We're all gonna die someday, and in all likelihood there is no afterlife, so does it really even matter if we're actually wasting our lives? In about sixty years I'm not going to remember how much I screwed up, or how well I did, so does getting upset over the state of the world, or much of anything in general, even make sense?
Maybe, but **** it.
So the middle east is going to hell, so Kim Kardashian won't get off my TV, so my employment history is crap, so I can't stand being in the presence of 99% of the people I meet. With any luck one or more of those things will get settled in time for me to enjoy them, but if not, I still get to be amused at the train wreck in the meantime.
P.S. Besides. Watching Kanye West walk into a sign never gets old, so TMZ gets a pass from me.
