There's never enough time!! There's so much music to listen to. So many books to read. So many images to capture. Not to forget movies to watch. And you're always going up against the countdown to the next obligation or personal need to meet .... work, sleep, chores, etc.
And then there's those moments where you find yourself anyplace but home .... around other humans .... and suddenly you're filled with the instant terror (for just a fraction of a second that can never pass quickly enough) that maybe you forgot to get dressed before venturing out into the world of onlookers.
And speaking of onlookers .... Why is there a need in society for security cameras? It seems these days that no matter what you do or where you wander or stray, there is always someone present, standing around watching you. Like it's their job. Or maybe their hobby. Or maybe because they have nothing better to do.
But then 75% of those professional gawkers and peepers have their attention split between you and their cell phone, 95% of the time.
And speaking of cell phone zombies .... Do the groups of hipsters, yipsters and dipsters walking in the park or on the sidewalk, realize how freaking ridiculous they look, all walking along obsessively gazing into their separate phones? Why even bother with the hassle of going to the park.
I've been making a concerted effort lately towards staying away from any form of angst. (Though I do backslide occasionally.) I think that it's probably a good idea for my general health and all. But I'm afraid that it's taken on the appearance of not giving a shit. Which I alternate between being perfectly fine with and being extremely bothered by.
