rantings of an insignificant mind with significant aspiration of knowledge. and a desire to play the Sims.

random:
whenever i think of how mundane our work system is... you work, you go home, you recreate... it puts me in mind of the machine in Brave New World. the machine of society. everything is down to a science; you are an organic robot that works to benefit society but in this world you are working to fund your leisure essentially. other people are working to provide your means of leisure and in turn supply their own money to support their own free-time, some people in washington work to provide an infrastructure that allows both sets of people to   go about their work and free time with utilities, freedom, and without chaos. those people do a bit more but at the end of the day they work to support their own habits and family just as anyone else does.
seems like a crazy jungle gym of connections and support.


i doubt i'm getting this thought through.


but at the end of the day you go to work.
you work all day.
so you can type on that computer.
so you can watch that tv.
so you can go on that cruise.
so you can buy that fast car.
no. matter. what. you. do.
doesn't matter what the job is.


suppose that's where i wish to change it.


i would rather incorporate what i would already be doing in my free time, the thing i should be working to support, and instead use that to support myself.


because when you work 9-5 just to live...
it makes me feel like playing The Sims.
because it's the same concept to me.
and that explains it best...
the Sim leaves to work.
they come home with a paycheck.
that's when you have fun.
work is just a means of money and life begins once you bring it home.


...that's what my mom thinks i should do.
do something that will make money.


...but i don't want to be a Sim that works just so i can go buy that acoustic bass.


can't i want to have a job that will grow who i am?


a job that will equate with life rather than be a means for it?


suppose that's a common feeling in today's society; yet there are still many Sims...
i suppose a lot of people prefer it that way.


maybe i should have gone into journalism.
