ever think about the system that keeps us tied to using banks? sometimes i'd love to storm into the building and really blow shit up. grab the condescending dude's necktie and squeeze till the eyeballs pop out...but that's not really me. and it's not really that important. still, it makes me crazy that i have to politely ask for small little things from the bank, and pay for services while they use my money to make them more money. does anyone else hate that system? who does it really help?

the elf tells me to be nice as i talk to them, because there's no point in yelling at the teller. they'll just think evil thots about you later. and i am nice every time. i really wish that i had tons of money so that i could just laugh in the managers face and tell them what i think of their stupid bank.

"we'll review your account and let you know..." in that condescending tone

skywise says:

i wish i had mad cash and could be like

skywise says:

"fuck you mofo...get me the head dude!"

mini says:

ha

skywise says:

or dudette

skywise says:

whatever

skywise says:

then i'd be like

skywise says:

rolling a cigar in a twenty and lighting it

mini says:

ha

skywise says:

no...a hundred

skywise says:

"so what's this hold shit...fuck all y'all"

skywise says:

im taking me dinero and vamos

skywise says:

comprende

the elf responds:

mini says:

i know if some little punk ass such as yourself came up to me and threatened me to close his bank account i'd just tell him to shove his fifty cents up his ass.

mini says:

but i guess thats why they keep me down here in the basement

this whole scene goes way deeper than we think. i cant believe how tied into this money meme we all are. i got to talking to white spider ( a crazy woman up here on the coast...cept she's kinda more sane than most). She was talking about how her family ran her thru a psych ward profile. "yer livin in a fantasy world!" they yelled at her. we looked around at the horizon of gas stations and subways and suv's running back and forth, and looked at each other...if this is the real world then why not live towards a more interesting fantasy. one where i don't have to act polite when someone cheats me out of my money or they put up some butt ugly pink pseudo mexican hacienda mall.

i figure the majority of people aren't even awake to the illusion that this whole culture thing is. there's an out of control process, like an unitentional bowling ball thrown down the alley of life. my friends say "i'm just paying this bill, or that bill or paying the rent..." and jeffe is calling it "navigating the babylonian system". whatever way you look at it, it would be nice if we really discovered more effective ways to have a say in what the world ends up looking like and how we spend our time. i get sad when i think of my beautiful friends crammed into cubicles for so much of their young lives, contributing to a system that often represents the very things they want to see disappear from the world.

whatever...things are really awesome right now for me. yeah i have the occasional run in with the fuckos, but the opportunities to move beyond it are looming larger and larger.

the ultimate lesson seems to be that i have to start from the beginning and read the tutorials before i make any real progress. otherwise i just end up getting frustrated.
