life, bar, example. this is freeform.

i had a really interesting conversation with a group of people i never met before tonight.
we spoke about culture, politics...to an extent...not the baseline jargon so many people get caught up with these days.....it was unexpected and real, two things that get all too often overlooked in this busy city life that we all strive to achieve.

jamaican jerseys, african dialect, polish surnames....it was an amalgamation of random points of interest.
there was no wrong
no right,
just conversation.
the most beautiful ends are achieved this way
with no prejudice
no preemptive shutdowns
no definitive bias
we were all open to new ideas

maybe the alcohol fueled this,
but i think a lot of it began before we even started drinking
the drinking was a byproduct of our conversation
if you really have to label it either way

some people are so scared of opening up
afraid to bare themselves to the world
and on what basis?
what the media has setup?
precognition is one thing
preperception is another
to try and justify your own ideals with constructed fact
or to create a view based on what you'd like to hear....
what benefit can really be revived
what gains can be made?
what about progress?
or is that not what we are really striving for?
is it all about sameness
about being docile robotic slaves?

fuck that
i'm moving to argentina.


also, on a sidebar...drunken people are idiots
you can gain a lot
(or a little..depending on how you gauge it)
just by being surrounded by lush motherfuckers.
(they're all perverted...not in the prudish sense...but the strict functional sense of the word.)
