I'm thinking of dropping out of society

[HEyHEY]

I understand there are many scenes and places and stuff that are cool, however, most of those are ruined by people who know they're in something special and have to run it into the ground.
For the most part, these people were just in the right place at the right time and got in on the ground floor of what is the new trend.
So, eventually you can't tell them from the posuers.

But this mainly comes from my day to day life. I sit downtown and drink tea... watching people. And so many of them disgust me. I see nothing but walking, talking fronts for a force of shallow and vain intentions.

And that's everyone from the "punks" to the attorneys.

Plus, being original.... isn't original anymore (Thank you Devo).

Face it we're a bunch of un-inspired, boring attention whores.

Fuck, it... as soon as I can find out HOW one drops out of society, I'm gonna do it.

1. Let me know too! Society is often over rated. Just give me family and a

small group of friends, and I'd be set.

P.s. sounds like your feeling a little depressed, hope you feel better.

3. That's not out of society

Family and friends IS social life.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

4. true, but it's out of the mainstream of scociety, which is good

enough for me

[HEyHEY]

7. Thanks - not depressed - just way toooooo cynical

[billyskank]

2. You'll find dropping out of society is pretty unpleasant

The options mostly boil down to:

- join a monastery

- adopt the life of a mendicant

- become a hermit.

6. This is Canada.

You just move way up North and build a shack n the forest or something. Buddy of mine actually did that for about two years. He was pretty close to a town, but never went there.

You can always get a society GED later in life if necessary.

[HEyHEY]

12. All we need

[JVS]

13. And the $3500 worth of blow

[HEyHEY]

16. Then we'll grow our own

[Droopy]

11. Speak for yourself, bucko!

Move in with me for a little while and I'll have you feeling all better and ready to go back to Canada. I could use some rent money and some help paying the utilities. Or come with me out on the road. We'll fix you up in no time. :)

[HEyHEY]

14. Yeah, we can rob gas stations and shit!

[XNASA]

15. But, dude.....you have to be a part of something....

..before you can drop out of it.

You might just need a change of scenery. Seems to work wonders.

[HEyHEY]

17. I just had one!

What I need is a shitload of blow!

[JVS]

20. HELL YEAH!

21. the amazing summer of blow...

I did blow for entire summer at the Guided By Voices band practice space. It is not a time I want to return to. It was fodder for a tremendous song though.
