(no subject)
i look at these people.
i see them and wonder:
what would it be like to not care about what i eat? to have a child or two already? to have to support a family with a job that i hate? what would it be like to have not gone to college, or to have graduated from a school in a more suburban or rural setting? what would it be like to let some religion dictate my moral code? to take ferries to m's games and drink cheap beer during monday night football? what would it be like to hurry home to reality television and the comfort of a ham and cheese hot pocket? what would it be like to drive everywhere? to be fearful of city streets after dark and save money by shopping at wal-mart? what would it be like to put on and maintain another 20-30 lbs? to tell my children that "everybody has a shot if only they try" while turning a blind eye to discrimination? what would it be like to live in a house with a yard on a street with no sidewalk? to complain about taxes and know all of the new radio hits by heart?
i think i know that i would never want it. any of it.
