Society

Oh it's a mystery to me.
We have a greed, with which we have agreed...
and you think you have to want more than you need...
until you have it all, you won't be free.

Society, you're a crazy breed.
I hope you're not lonely, without me.

When you want more than you have, you think you need...
and when you think more then you want, your thoughts begin to bleed.
I think I need to find a bigger place...
cause when you have more than you think, you need more space.

Society, you're a crazy breed.
I hope you're not lonely, without me.
Society, crazy indeed...
I hope you're not lonely, without me.

There's those thinkin' more or less, less is more,
but if less is more, how you keepin' score?
It means for every point you make, your level drops.
Kinda like you're startin' from the top...
and you can't do that.

Society, you're a crazy breed.
I hope you're not lonely, without me.
Society, crazy indeed...
I hope you're not lonely, without me
Society, have mercy on me.
I hope you're not angry, if I disagree.
Society, crazy indeed.
I hope you're not lonely...
without me.


This is a song that means so very much to me. The first time I heard it was after pop died. I actually saw the movie Into The Wild with one of my best friend's and his father. I walked into it cold - not knowing what I was about to watch. It moved me to tears, I'm sure thats not rare with that film, but my god.

The song suits me. When I was 7 I wanted to grow up to be a hermit. When I was 13 I wanted to go live in a light house and be a light keeper. When I was 17 I wanted to buy an old Caboose and go live off in the woods by myself - a dream I still sometimes hold.

Now the plan is to live in an apartment I should be getting in the next year and just fill it with books and pictures. To write and try to expand myself as best as I can.

I listened to this song on my ipod in one ear as I tore across the country by myself on my old KZ1000 with all my stuff strapped to the back. It was a month long journey and I spent a lot of time alone. I am good at it.

Society confuses and bewilders me. All the HATE, it just blows your mind. How can anyone really hate another person based on the color of their skin? I mean really? And HOW can you dislike a man or woman because of their sexuality? You get the people raging on about Queers. Well I'm Bi, mostly interested in guys, with a physical attraction to girls (no emotional attachment) but I work on bikes, cars, houses - I'm a regular guy. But someone can hate me because I like guys? There is NO logic to the hate. They hide behind religion. Well I believe in God, I believe in all sorts of things. I've read the bible. There is nothing to support such hate. But Society bands together. Yet they shut their eyes. Blind justice? Really?

Everyone thinks we are so evolved. We still have child pornography. Why? Society... Evolution. Its crazy. We are a stitch in time away from the Romans. We just have computers and cars. The hate hasn't changed. Society is the Mob. Not gangsters, but a Mob of people. I don't fit into this crazyness. I have never felt I belonged a part of it.

I love individuals. My friends. Also people from here, Justin, Gary, others. But Society as a whole? I want nothing to do with it.

Anyways I am going.
