You people conduct yourselves like you drive. it's like, fifty percent of you are right there, and the other fifty percent are yappin' away, trying to get laid. it's very, very weird. --And I wouldn't have said a thing except that's exactly, exactly, what this next song is about.
That's exactly why I love Michael Stipe.
That's on the live track I've got of them singing 'night swimming'. It's fab. I think, it's natural for people who are writers to become engrossed like this in real people-- when you get so used to seeing everything as a story anyway, it's hard to stop. Especially when you've got their faces, their poetry, and their interviews to take. It's more than a story. It's like 24 hour TV, those real-tv shows, but with far more interesting people than Tina or Brian or the dude from down your street.
Yeah, anyway.
This is one of those 'I'm bored' journal entries-- the kind that're made in the middle of the day and no one's around, really, and you *could* be doing something more inventive, more original, more productive -- fitter, happier, more productive -- but you're just, not.
You're laying there, in the heat, and avoiding all the schoolwork that's piled around; you're ignoring the phone. You don't feel like reading anything, because it'll be *good* and that's mental *effort* and besides, you're in the mood for badfic because reading something good would be doing something productive. And you're all against that.
You could be writing, but that's mental muscle that ran away; don't even feel like watching good TV, because that's being too productive.
It's the real reason people watch all those juicer ads and late night sex shows. I mean, the fact that there isn't anything else on helps. But even if top of the line shows *were* on late night, people would eventually gravitate to the abmeister, and psychic fanny, and 1001 disco tracks. It's the nature of the time-- people don't want to be productive at three in the morning.
I think, I need to go to bed. Sometime. But not yet.
I will, however, quit saying stupid shit.
