Drugged Monkey 15

Type type type type type type type type. Delete. Type type type type type type type type. Delete. Sometimes the words don't come. Or when they do come they're too serious. I don't like being serious. Where's the fun in that? Everybody's already serious. Too serious I suppose. I hating getting caught up in it all. I'm not as much fun. Who wants to be around that serious guy? It's all gloom and doom. Everywhere you look.

I feel it. I feel the anger from both sides. And it overtakes me. You try to rationalize. Try to help things make sense, but it doesn't. We're all variables without a solution. So you walk away. Or at least you try. But it's on the TV. It's holding signs on the corner. It's on the radio and it's in the conversations you overhear. People ask your opinion. Unfortunately you've paid enough attention to have one. The hooks are in. I don't think anyone who ever asked my opinion on the matter wanted to know my opinion, but rather wanted to start a dialogue as a chance to convey their's. Maybe I'm the same? Am I part of this hypocrite circus? I could be running this thing.

Things are changing. Everyday. Or maybe they're not. Maybe I'm just more aware. More afraid. I hate the news. I think I'd like to sit down and watch some Saturday morning cartoons. Maybe get a pet or teach a children's art class. Something that's not serious. Adults are too serious. People make mistakes. I make mistakes. I don't hate anybody. Why does everybody hate each other? Why do those in power try to capitalize on that hate and fear? I don't want to know about them. I think I'd rather watch the Teletubbies. Sure it's weird as shit, but it doesn't make me angry. I don't want to be angry anymore.

So I'm turning off the news. I'm deleting some bookmarks. Things will continue to change as they did were I involved, but I won't be angry. I won't voice my opinion. I won't join the battle. I'll sit at home, watch the Teletubbies, maybe eat some pancakes, and draw pictures of cuddly robots.
