What's Wong With Me?

~Clones! Clones I tell you!~

[-10:33 a.m. 2001-06-04-]

As each day passes, I begin to notice the amount of "sheep" there are. It bothers me.

Especially at work. I finish someone's order, and they stand around waiting to be told that everything is done, in order to leave. Even after their receipt is given, they stand there looking stupid, just waiting for me to tell them "its okay, you can leave".

They fail to think "hey, he's already ran my credit card, given me a reciept, put the shit in bags, and said 'thank you'". (clones! clones I tell you!)

Is this how we are trained? Well then, excuse me for being rebellious. Pardon me for having a mind of my own.

On the far-fetched-paranoid side, people like this remind me of the "Stepford Wives". Anyone else read that story? Or watch that movie?

To give you a quick run-down, I read the story bout a year ago. It was about a town in which the men would kill their wives and turn them into robots. Robots that would clean all the time, never talk back, never think for themselves.

I wonder if the government has already started cloning people. Kidnapping those people at night who get up "to get a drink of water" and replacing them with clones.

Of course this would be calculated perfectly. Someone would have to be watching the house for the right time, make sure they got in alright, and do the switch without any errors.

They would then have to get anyone else in the house so there wouldn't be anyone that noticed a difference. Then, they would have to go out to the peers, the family, and everyone else that the now-dead person was close to.

This would be a never-ending cycle. Our turn would come up eventually.

I wonder what it would be like? I wonder if the people would fight? Perhaps they would be relived to get a reprieve of the demands of life.

If it got into the wrong hands would it get to the president? Would it remain in this country? Eww.. What would sex be like? haha! Now you know the reason why people lay like they are dead in sex. (clones! clones I tell you!)

It never ceases to amaze me how we change so much. I was walking home from work and this kid bounces up to me and cheerfully asks "hi! hi! how ya doin!? huh!? huh? Are you checking your mail!?". I couldn't help but muse at this extrovertness and replied with "yes I am". The kid quickly lost interest and ran off. (I should of mooned him)

I remember when I was like that. I would ride my bike around the neighborhood in Houston and run up to people's doors. "Hey miss, do you have any kids I can play with?".

Just recently we had one of the neighborhood kids knock on our door and ask my roomate if they could sing a song for her. They sang their song and ran off laughing while we closed the door with wonder.

At what point does this break down occur?! When do we make the change to grumpy men and women?! When do we wake up one day and decide to just stop thinking!?

It frustrates me. Sure, I think we all need to masturbate...but maybe the key to happiness lies in reverting to a child-like mentality.

Maybe people stop thinking because they are afriad of what will happen if they do start thinking.

When did we stop asking so many questions? "mom, why is the sky blue?", "hey dad! what does this do?", "hey mister, what is this for?", "hey, what happens when I press this red button?" (no no! not the red button!)

When did we get so apathetic? When did we decide it was better for us to just walk around with a blank expression painted on our faces, and wait for someone to tell us it was okay to leave?

Tommy probably would want this to be something about Jet and all but I had to get that off my chest. I saw that Riki-Oh for the first time the other day. You have to see that movie. Totally sick and twisted. Yeah, fine holiday fun!

Why do I feel by the previews on the tube, Kiss of the Dragon is going to suck something awful? Oh well, I'll still see it.

Fight the submission!
