Through my journeys thus far it seems that the clear cut ideas of college – mate – marriage – family, with multiple sources of indoctrination at play all along the way may not actually cut it!

Shifty eyes under a wondrous guise.

Attempting to get some work done, eat, reconvene myself with QC on a hazy Monday afternoon I realized how unbearably fake some members of our population are. I regret to write this, truly. But it seems the Fraternal / Sorority setup is an excuse to bully and show mastery, to literally RUSH people out of their unique pathologies and into the cruel materialistic world of youthful blasphemous culture.

Why do we want predictable identities? Lives that are easily replicated, malleable to others with the same sneakers, the same club music that they’ve heard all weekend, at the mall this morning, and now in their iPod blasting so loud as to be considerate that the rest of the bus riders can also ‘enjoy it’…

When did American culture get so obnoxious? Not that I’ve been around long enough to know a time that it wasn’t. Mysteriously we are losing warm emphatic bodies to the cold metallic and chrome cityscape.

Not that I would venture to say here’s a new program! A better platform! I am merely suggesting that the disintegration of individuality for the sake of individualism (the American ideal) is ironic, astonishing, and all encompassing. Since when did it become OK to parenthesize our desires for the sake of ‘rationality/ feasibility’?

The blame game is unnecessary, but if we must. Let’s blame ourselves, because CHOICE and the idea of options are few and far between. In a free society we will make up our own minds, before the multiple choice style exam we call social integration makes it up for us…
