connected disconnected

everyone's plugged in, headphones, iphones. (myself included).
it is so robotic & vacant. everyone avoiding eye contact with another one of their own species.

to me, it's overload.
the constant "on call" (connected) lifestyle we all live. if its not work, its the phone, email or facebook or a text message or the cat or the dog or some cunting neighbour mowing their lawn when all you want is an hour of peace.

what's your disconnect?
the obvious answer is sleep but it's not what really makes the divide between the demands & the respite.

i can dissociate perhaps a little to easily. A skill I've perfected over too many years on trains with uncouth commuters. Be it in the form of blasting my favourite tunes or engaging in that all familiar distant stare out the window, you know the one, we've all done it (or at least seen others do it).

Tonight on the train we have your older educated yet stylish man reading the paper, early 20 somethings on ipads playing games, a guy in his 50-60s sporting a laid back surfy style, complete with peroxided locks!, why do women wear shoes that don't fit? honestly? i want to know. i could slightly understand if the shoes were Louboutin. Is this another command from the mags? the telly? For women to wear shit that is clearly too friggin tight & most likely uncomfortable? Sometimes I feel screaming at them that they are all brainwashed sheeple. I desperately want people to WAKE THE FUCK UP! What would happen if society did wake up?....
