Do you ever get to the point where...
you are so numb from individuals' peccadilloes, that you are about ready to throw in the towel on society?

I am this close to selling all of my possessions and moving to a cabin up in Podunk, Colorado, writing about the evils of modern society.

And, oh yes, I will write my grievances on a manual typewriter. A TYPEWRITER. AND EVERY WORD WILL BE IN CAPS.

People suck.

Writer the Drifter.

1. That Scenario leads to not only Writer the drifter...
But to Writer the Unibomber. The wilderness does weird things to people's brains. I think maybe you should rethink this strategery. :evilgrin:

2. Kicking back to the front page.
And also to see if there are any DUers from Podunk, Colorado.

If it's near Granby, I've thought of moving there myself.

3. Just don't don the black sunglasses and gray hoodie.

4. I've been at that place before. But then I realized that life is a lot more fun...
if you learn to laugh at people rather than let it get to you.
It's hard to get to that point. It takes a level of cynicism approaching the mystical.
Zenicism, basically.
