as i was on the tram today i got rather angry. this was because everyone was sitting there absorbed in their own selfish little fucking world and messaging on their phone or staring into space. stuck in their own head, not talking, not interacting. now wonder fucking capitalism is so rife within our society. no wonder people are shy and go all fucking weird (or decide to be shit and talk to the person they DO know) when someone goes - talk to the person next to you that you don't know and tell each other bleh bleh about each other. what an epiphany. from this i have decided resolutely that i shall communicate properly with at least one person on every tram or train ride before 12:01am.

seems to me that:

--school fucks you up good time. makes you stop growing and developing yourself. stops you from thinking straight. makes you 'CONFORM BITCHES', and sometimes makes people fall into a gluttonous, consumerist, capitalistic, depressive haze. not to name names. makes you fall into a trap of thinking in a certain way. over the past 80something% of my life. understandably i have fallen into a certain pattern of interaction and mood that i associate with schoool. it's quite simple really, it's called classical conditioning: "a type of learning found in animals, caused by the association (or pairing) of two stimuli. The simplest form of classical conditioning is reminiscent of what Aristotle would have called the law of contiguity. Esentially Aristotle said, "When two things commonly occur together, the appearance of one will bring the other to mind" - from wikipedia. ANYHOO then u need cool stuff like a movie to snap you the fuck out of it and get you thinking again. thank god for wednesdays, prinny hill has the right idea for sure.


--seems to me that the world would be an amazing place a lot of the time if people suspended their judgement of each other and realised that everyone is largely a product of their own experience.

--the country is so amazingly different from the city. you can actually think clearly in the country.

--oyster farmer is definitely worth watching. get into it. best australian film i've ever seen. (rabbit proof fence coming second.)

--travelling is the best thing i could possibly do at the end of this year... except for 'going underground' *snigger snigger*...
AHAHAAHAHAHA i must laugh. but it's all in good fun, readers.

nite. love you all
