Fitter, happier, more productive,
comfortable,
not drinking too much,
regular exercise at the gym
(3 days a week),
getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries,
at ease,
eating well
(no more microwave dinners and saturated fats),
a patient better driver,
a safer car
(baby smiling in back seat),
sleeping well
(no bad dreams),
no paranoia,
careful to all animals
(never washing spiders down the plughole),
keep in contact with old friends
(enjoy a drink now and then),
will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in the wall),
favors for favors,
fond but not in love,
charity standing orders,
on Sundays ring road supermarket
(no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants),
car wash
(also on Sundays),
no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate,
nothing so childish - at a better pace,
slower and more calculated,
no chance of escape,
now self-employed,
concerned (but powerless),
an empowered and informed member of society
(pragmatism not idealism),
will not cry in public,
less chance of illness,
tires that grip in the wet
(shot of baby strapped in back seat),
a good memory,
still cries at a good film,
still kisses with saliva,
no longer empty and frantic like a cat tied to a stick,
that's driven into frozen winter shit
(the ability to laugh at weakness),
calm,
fitter,
healthier and more productive
a pig in a cage on antibiotics.

ok, so after almost an entire summer's worth of working in an office, i've concluded that OK Computer (particularly Fitter Happier) makes a lot more sense than it did before. they try to make you into something no person should be. today at work, i saw the supervisor get mad at an employee for talking to another employee. i mean, it's not her fault her phone isn't ringing and she has nobody to tend to. but you cannot expect a person to sit there silently waiting for the fucking phone to ring everyday for god knows how many months maybe years, cause it's just not going to happen.

the world in its current state leaves itself open to criticism and thoughts of disgust. so many people just don't care anymore. the english teacher in donnie darko was right when she said that we're losing the youth to apathy, which is the worst thing that could happen. people need to start giving half a flying fuck about the world and their lives if we're going to get anywhere.

i need to get out of el paso, and soon. i feel weighed down all the time, almost as if any moment i'll find it too difficult to take the next breath.

on a lighter note, i want to play freeze tag. so me and lemur planned it out, it'll happen sometime this week at madeline. tell all your friends
