Nothing much

The cognitive dissonance of a sleep deprived mind

Happy people are boring. There I said it. When you get those people who are just happy generally, they become just far less interesting. I’m sure there are people who disagree, but when you are at least part bored doing almost anything, like rollercoasters, or with friends or writing an article at 4:30 in the morning, you avoid boring people to try to mix the boredness with something else. This is why it’s hard to communicate with the people who occupy a nearby point in space during the designated time to eat each school day, they are too damn happy to be interesting.

On the subject of food, eating in public is actually quite a private event; “let me just shove food into my face while a load of people do the same, communally accepting our own mortality.” You see, it’s a horrific image. Maybe it’s just because the mouth and eyes are close together. But then if the food hole and faeces hole were swapped, would we gather for communal dumps, and then leave half way to go to a private stall for a snack.

Talking of which, ever just want crisps? Even if you’re not hungry, just to have a salty crunchy thing to eat can be nice. Maybe that’s my sleep deprived mind talking while I listen to the same song on loop. It’s one of those songs which are not boring throughout, which is handy. The first line is “teach me how to lie” which I like because it’s an idea I’ve wanted to do for a while. To teach somebody to lie, cheat and be just enough of a jerk to have fun in life. If I had a Padawan jerk to take under my wing, it could be fun. That kid would do well.

People don’t give enough credit to the idea of being a bit of a (this word has been deemed inappropriate for this context and has therefore been removed from usage) to the world. I think people have too much respect. Wouldn’t politics be far more interesting if the candidates could say “You raise a good point sir, but if I may present a rebuttal, go (this word has been deemed inappropriate for this context and has therefore been removed from usage) with a cactus.”? Jerks and mean people don’t get as much flak as the respectful because others know that they are not to be messed with.

Also, being a jerk is fun. If you can spread discord and disappointment, you create a chaotic void. Your plans will be like those of a super villain, planned delicately just in an effort to keep things exciting in life. But then when you liken yourself to a super villain, you have to expect your plans to fall through at the hands of the ‘forces of good’. But things going to plan are just boring, it’s expected, it would be a failure in itself. When I spread misery, and sadness and disappointment I keep the world I leave an interesting place for everyone.
