you know what, being me is a walk in the park. there is no great difficulty involved, i've removed all of that through a sort of cognizant apathy towards anything that seeks to induce effort without my approval. good luck, i say, getting me to do something i don't want to do. i guarantee you will decide it isn't so necessary before i start to care. that is the whole explanation, right there. everyone imposes their own little reality on the world based on their perceptions. i assert the right to impose mine as well. if something isn't relevant enough to crack my reality, you have to ask yourself whether it is really worth questioning the validity of what i can offer you.

so, what is this reality? i think for those my age, and those under me, the physical life we live is only a small portion of the life our minds live. we have grown up so immersed in media, our simulated life experience outstrips our actual experience. we have this mutated, yet immensely broad and varied knowledge base. we are prepared to live life as an awkward teenage superhero in hiding. we are prepared to wrestle with our morality as corrupt policemen. we are prepared to live life confined on a spaceship as bounty hunters. we decide what traits to clip from the hard lessons our favorite characters have learned. we are already a bunch of weary, yet utterly capable souls by the time we reach physical maturity. i saw a great quote today, something along the lines of "now, it is time for all the parents to die." we just sit back and stare, wondering what would happen if we pulled the strings. i just hope enough of us keep our sense of humor about things, instead of compromising our good judgment under the guise of opportunity.
