“Is normality getting dressed in the clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic jams in the car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, the car, and especially, the house that you leave empty all day in order to live in it?”

This boggles my mind everyday. It’s a wonder I can stay sane when much of the rest of the world seems crazy. The front page of the news yesterday was Paris Hilton going to jail. People spend hundreds of their dollars on crap they never use, working jobs they hate, just to go home and watch tv until they get up to do it again.

I’m in a room of peole slapping them self in the face… the “normal” ones, i find my self shaking my head and wondering “what is wrong with them?” as is the same question reflected in there eyes as thay look at me….
in short, normality is in the eyes of ones precptions… in this case, if you didn’t slap your self, your not “normal”
